Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron VersaTune Rack Tuner.

The VersaTune Rack Tuner is a versatile true-bypass Guitar/Bass rack tuner for live and studio use. The

large “NOTE” display and bright LEDs provide the perfect amount of light for on-stage tuning. Over a

hundred different tunings can be viewed in the display window including standard guitar/bass tunings,

alternate tunings, drop tunings and opening tunings. Additional features include two front & rear panel

inputs, two rear panel outputs, input selector switch, +-60 Cents tuning LEDs, Precision Switch for ul-

tranetuning,strobe,MuteSwitchonfrontpanelandMUTEjackonrearpanel,Calibrationswitchand

NOTE selection switch.

Want to tune your guitar a half step down? Wanted to tune your guitar to DADGAD? Need to tune a

Mandolin, Dobro, Pedal Steel Guitar or other types of instruments? Well, the VersaTune can help you to

adjusttothesetunings.TheVersaTunetuningsdisplaywindowshowsyouhow!Up() and down ()

arrows appear in the display window next to the note to show “how” to tune to a particular tuning from

standard A440 tuning. For example, to tune a guitar down a half step from standard A440, the window

will show a “down” () arrow next to the note you are tuning down to. Start by tuning the low E string

down to D# or Eb as the window will show “down arrow” D#, (meaning to tune that string down to D#

or Eb) . Continue with the same process for other strings.

Use the Up/Down buttons to select different tunings from standard guitar and bass tunings to a wide range

of alternate tunings and tunings for different types of instruments. Additional tunings for 7-String Guitar,

5-String and 6-String bass are included. Tunings for other instruments such as dobro, mandolin family,

banjo,pedalsteel,classicalinstrumentsandotherstringinstruments(Bouzouki,Banduria,Dulcimer,Re-

quinto, etc) are also included.

Letyourcreativejuicesowandtrysomeofthesedifferenttunings!
