Tuner

Pressing the TUNER button brings up the Axe-Fx tuner display. There are three
pages. The first page is the basic tuner display. The second page allows you to
configure the tuner and the third page allows you to enter custom tuning offsets.

CAL - This sets the reference frequency for the tuner.
MUTE - When set to ON this mutes the sound out of the Axe-Fx when in the tuner menu.
USE OFFSETS - When set to ON the custom temperament offsets entered on the
OFFSETS page are applied to the tuner display.

2. with the foot controller hooked up, go to IO/CTRL on the Axe-fx
3. scroll to the value you want to control
4. hit enter (this puts it in learning mode)
5. click the IA on your footswitch that will control it.

Alternatively, instead of using the learn function you can just dial in the number manually.
