What Does This Do?
1. Mode Button - Selects the display mode (Normal or Strobe) for
theTuning LED Array. The modes are labeled below the last two
LEDs of theTuning LED Array.
2. Input - Connect your instrument here.This jack enables battery
power to the pedal when connected.To prolong battery life, discon-
nect the cable from the Input jack when not in use. If the optional
Harman PS200R power supply is used, cables can remain connected.
3. Foot Switch Release Pins -These two pins are spring loaded
hinges that hold the Foot Switch in place. See page 13 for informa-
tion on accessing and changing the battery.
4. Foot Switch -Turns theTuner on and off.
5. Thru Output - Connect this output to the input of your amp or
the input of another pedal if you want the output signal from your
instrument to be audible when the tuner is enabled.

6. Mute Output - Connect this output to the input of your amp or
the input of another pedal if you want the output signal from your
instrument to be muted when the tuner is enabled.
7. Tuning Button - Selects the different tuning references. The tuning
references are labeled below the first 9 LEDs of theTuning LED Array.
8. DC Adapter Jack - Connect (an optional) Harman PS200R
power supply to this jack. Use the proper supply for your area’s
mains line voltage.
9. LED Indicator - Lights when the effect is turned on.When bat-
tery power is low (approximately 15 minutes before it dies), the
Indicator LED begins to dim giving you advanced warning that very
shortly you will need to replace the battery.
10. Note Display - Displays the note being tuned. The decimal point
in the lower right corner of the display will light to indicate the
sharp of the note is played (i.e. G. = G#).

11. Tuning LED Array -These eleven LEDs are used for displaying
whether the note being tuned is sharp or flat. They are also used
to indicate tuning references and tuning LED array modes.
Connecting the Tuner
The HardWireTuner has a single 1/4" Input and two 1/4" Outputs – MUTE
andTHRU. The HardWireTuner offers true hardwire bypass when not in
use to preserve your guitar’s signal without any loss or buffering into your
amp and other effects.
If you use the HardWireTuner on a pedal board with other effects devices,
it doesn’t really matter where in your effects chain the HardWireTuner is
placed as long as any effects placed before it are bypassed before you use
the HardWireTuner. Therefore, we recommend placing the HardWireTuner
5

before the rest of your pedal effects so you don’t have to bypass other
effects on your pedal board just to tune.
To connect theTuner to your amp, do the following:
1. If you are not using battery power, connect an optional PS200R to the
HardWireTuner’s power input.
2. Connect a cable from your instrument’s 1/4" jack to the 1/4” Input.
3. Connect theTuner’sTHRU output to the input of your amplifier to hear
your guitar while tuning. Connect theTuner’s MUTE output to the input
of your guitar amplifier if you do not want to hear your guitar while tun-
ing.
Note: Use unbalanced mono instrument cables only.

Select A Display Mode
The HardWireTuner has two different display modes – Strobe and Normal.
When Strobe mode is selected, the tuning LED’s move in the direction of
the input note’s tuning. If the note is flat, the LED’s move to the left indicat-
ing the note needs to be tuned up. If the note is sharp, the LED’s move to
the right indicating the note needs to be tuned down. How fast the LED’s
move indicates how far out of tune the note is.The speed will gradually slow
down as the note is tuned. When the note is in tune, the cycling LED’s turn
off and only the center blue LED is lit.
When Normal mode is selected, single or pairs of LEDs light indicating tun-
ing status. LEDs to the left of the center blue LED light if the note is flat and
needs to be tuned up. LEDs to the right of the center blue LED light if the
note is sharp and needs to be tuned down. When only the center blue LED

is lit, the note is in tune.
To select a display mode, do the following:
1. Press the Foot Switch to turn on the tuner. A dash appears in the note
display.
2. Press the MODE button. A O appears in the note display and the LED
above the current Mode (STROBE or NORMAL) lights. Press the
MODE button until the LED above the Mode you want to use is lit.
3. Once the selected Mode LED is lit, wait 3 seconds and the pedal
returns to normal operation. The last display mode selected is automati-
cally saved.

Tuning Your Instrument
(Strobe Mode)
To tune your guitar or bass, do the following:
1. Press the Foot Switch to turn the tuner on. A dash appears in
the note display until a note is played.
2. Play a note with your instrument. The note being played dis-
plays in the Note Display. If it is a sharp note, a decimal point
lights in the lower right of the Note Display (i.e. d. = D#).
3. Tune your instrument based on the indication of the LED array.
If LEDs move to the left, the note is flat and needs to be tuned
up. If LEDs move to the right, the note is sharp and needs to
be tuned down. As the string gets closer to being in tune, the
LED movement slows. When the note is in tune the LED array
turns off leaving only the center blue LED lit.
4. Continue to tune the rest of your strings in the same manner.
5. When tuning is complete, press the Foot Switch to bypass it.

(Normal Mode)
To tune your guitar or bass, do the following:
1. Press the Foot Switch to turn the tuner on. A dash appears in
the Note Display until a note is played.

lights in the lower right of the note display (i.e. G. = G#).
3. Begin adjusting the tuning of your instrument based on the behav-
ior of the LED array. If LEDs to the left of the blue LED are lit,
the note is flat and needs to be tuned up. If LEDs to the right
of the blue LED are lit, the note is sharp and needs to be tuned
down. When only the center blue LED is lit, the note is in tune.
4. Continue to tune the rest of your strings in the same manner.

Battery Operation
In the event that battery power is completely depleted, HardWire pedals
automatically switch into bypass.This eliminates the need to remove the
pedal from your pedal chain if the battery is dead. To replace the battery, do
the following:
1. Using the tip of a 1/4” guitar cable, push in one of the Release Pins in on
either side of the Foot Switch, and remove it from the pedal chassis.
2. Remove the battery from the battery compartment and disconnect the
battery cable.
3. Connect a new battery to the battery cable and put it back in the bat-
tery compartment. Make sure the battery cable does not interfere with
the spring or pedal switch arm.
4. Place one hole of the Foot Switch over its corresponding pin.
5. Push the opposite pin in and lower the other side of the Foot Switch
into place over the depressed pin. Release the pin.When the Foot
