4.LED Display Matrix - This area features 90 LEDs in six rows that are used to display both polyphonic and single note tuning states of your instrument.When strumming all strings on your guitar or bass, the six rows will begin lighting and show the tuning state of each independent string (for bass, 4 – 6 rows will light depending on the type of bass). A single row will light when individual strings are being tuned.

5.Bass LED - This LED lights when any of the three Bass Display Modes are selected.

6.Input Jack - Connect your instrument here.This jack enables battery power to the pedal when connected.
