Meter mode
In this mode the VU style meter shown in the display is
used to tune your instrument.
Connect the tuner. The connection method will depend
1.
on the type of guitar you're connecting.
When tuning an acoustic guitar
If you're using the internal mic, don't connect anything.
If you're using a separately sold Korg CM-200 contact
mic, connect the CM-200's plug to the GA-50's INPUT
jack.
When tuning an electric guitar or bass
Use a commercially available cable with mono plugs.
Connect your guitar to the GA-50's INPUT jack by using
the cable.
You can't use the internal mic if a plug is inserted in
the INPUT jack.
When using the OUTPUT jack
To connect to the GA-50's OUTPUT jack, use a commer-
cially available cable with mono plugs. Connect your
guitar to the GA-50's INPUT jack, and then connect your
amp to the OUTPUT jack. The sound of your guitar will
be sent from the GA-50's OUTPUT jack to your amp, al-
lowing you to tune or perform while the GA-50 remains
connected.
Never disconnect the plug from the INPUT jack while
the OUTPUT jack is connected to your amp. When
you disconnect the plug, the internal mic will be used
automatically. If sound is received by the internal mic
at this time, acoustic feedback will occur, possibly
damaging your amp.
Turn off the power of all devices before you make any
connections to avoid damaging your equipment.
The INPUT and OUTPUT jacks are mono. Stereo (TRS)
cables will not work.
