Page 8, James Tyler Variax Tuning Options
The Page 8 Setup screen offers Tuning options for James Tyler Variax guitars.* These allow
you to configure and edit alternate tunings for your connected JTV guitar, which can be
saved right along with any POD HD Pro preset!
*Note: This tuning functionality is only available for James Tyler Variax family guitars.
If no JTV (or any first-generation Variax) is connected, this screen offers no accessible
options.
•
Variax Tuning (Knob 1):
Choose “Don’t Force” if you do not want the POD HD Pro
preset to affect the local tuning on your JTV guitar. Choose “Custom” to create a
tuning of your own, which can be saved with the current preset.
•
String Select (Knob 3):
Select the desired guitar string, 1 though 6, for which you
want to change the pitch.
•
Note Offset (Knob 4):
Choose the amount of half-steps, positive or negative, for
which you want to raise or lower the pitch of the selected string. The resulting note
will then be displayed on the tuning graphic at the top of the screen. For example,
in the screenshot above, we’ve altered the low E string down two half-steps to a D
note.*
*Note: The offset value will always be accurate - the note labels displayed assume the guitar
is tuned to standard pitch (E, A, D, G, B, E), with the A using a 440Hz reference pitch.
