Press the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time to enter tuner mode.
Play the open string you wish to tune. The tuner will auto-detect the pitch of the
string.
An upward-pointing arrow in the display indicates that the string is sharp.
A downward-pointing arrow in the display indicates that the string is flat.
An X in the display indicates that the string is in tune.
When finished, press both UP and DOWN a second time to exit tuner mode and
return to normal operation.
You may restore either one factory program or all the factory programs to their
original settings. Turn on the Playmate Guitarist while holding down both the UP
and DOWN buttons. Follow the prompts on the screen to restore the programs.
At each prompt, press STORE for "yes" or BYPASS for "no."
To restore just one program, press BYPASS at the ALL PRGRMS? prompt. The
Playmate Guitarist will then prompt you for the program number you want to
restore.
Setting
PLAY Puts the unit in Play mode. The Display shows which of the 70 programs is currently
selected. Programs are numbered A1 – A9, B1 – B9, ... G0 – G9.
COMP/ LIMIT Compression (C1 – C9) evens out the level of the audio by bringing down the high
levels and boosting the low ones. Limiting (L1 – L9) controls only the high levels.
DIST Provides 11 types of distortion: Acoustic (Ac), Tube Clean (tc), Rhythm (ry), Overdrive
(Od), Distortion (dt), Blues (bL), Fuzz (FU), Lead (Ld), Metal (Mt), Stack Drive (Sd) and
Combo Drive (Cd). Experiment with these to hear their qualities.
DRIVE This parameter of the DIST module provides increasing levels of drive/gain (1 – 99).
Select Pd to assign DRIVE control to the expression pedal.
EQ A four-band equalizer with values 01 – 50, broken down as follows:
01 – 10: attenuated highs and emphasized lows
11 – 20: less attenuation of highs and emphasis of lows
21 – 24: emphasized midrange
25: flat EQ curve
26 – 30: emphasized highs
31 – 40: attenuated lows and emphasized highs
41 – 50: emphasized presence and lows
NR A combination of two noise-reducing effects. Hum elimination, the left digit of the
value, cuts out the frequency that contains the hum (60Hz). Noise reduction, the right
digit, gates the signal (mutes it until its level rises above a certain point). Their possible
values are as follows:
Left digit 1 – 9: Increasing levels of hum elimination (60Hz harmonic notch filters).
Right digit 1 – 9: Increasing levels of gate threshold.
A zero in either digit indicates the effect is turned off.
CAB Emulates speaker cabinets of various sizes, as follows:
C1: A single 12" driver cabinet
C2: A 2 x 12" driver cabinet
C3: A 4 x 10" driver cabinet
