REMEMBER: The decimal point indicates that the value shown in the

display is not the stored value.

To bypass the selected Program and access Tuner mode:

1) Press the currently selected Program footswitch on the pedal-

board. The footswitch's Status LED flashes and the display

reads:

Immediatley after, a double dash (- -) will appear in the display, and

the Tuner LED will come on. The Acoustic One is now in tuner mode.

Upon reading the input note, the display will tell you what the note is.

If only the green LED (located in the bottom row of effect module

LEDs) lights, that note is in tune. If any LED to the left of the green

LED is lit, the note is flat. If any LED to the right of the green LED is lit,

the note is sharp. For the best tuning results, tune to the 12th fret har-

monic. If a muted output is desired while tuning, press and hold the

footswitch when entering bypass until the display briefly reads: OF,

from this point, you can begin tuning.

The tuning reference can also be set at either: E, Eb, or D from the

double-dash (- -) prompt, by rotating the data wheel up or down.

To exit Bypass/Tuner mode, press any footswitch.

The Acoustic One can operate in either stereo or mono. It is important

to remember that the way you connect your cables to the outputs can

affect the output mode. Here's a simple way to remember how it

works:

• If only one output cable is connected, the Acoustic One switches

to mono mode. Otherwise, it operates in stereo.

The Acoustic One is able to respond to most volume pedal outputs or

0/+5v controller pedals to control volume effects in real time. To set up

the Acoustic One for this application:

1) Disconnect the power to the Acoustic One.

2) Connect the output or the 0/+5v control output of a volume-

type controller pedal (such as the DOD FX17) to the Volume

Controller input on the rear panel of the Acoustic One.

3) Sweep the pedal through its entire range to calibrate pedal.

REMEMBER: make sure the pedal is connected to the Acoustic One

before you apply power. It is also important to note that the con-

troller's pedal position affects all Programs, even after you change

Programs. If a Program doesn't sound the way you saved it, check the

position of the controller pedal.
