white “waiting” light at the left side of the
LCD display. This tells you the tuning function
is engaged and you are ready to tune. Turning
off the tuning function (by pressing the foot
switch again) will cause the waiting light to
disappear from the display.

Strike any note and the tuner will display
the note played and whether the note is
sharp or flat. If flat, one of the red bars on the
display will light up. If sharp, one of the
yellow bars on the display will light up. If in
tune, the green bar will light up. If the green
bar is lit and you see a brief flashing of the
adjacent red or yellow bar, it means the note
is just slightly out of tune. Adjust the tuning
on your instrument to dial in a perfect tune.

PEDALBOARD NEIGHBORS

If using the Snark in your sound “chain”,
please be aware that pedals with high gain or
incorporating buffers that are placed adjacent
to the Snark can cause the click of the Snark
foot switch to become accentuated. So you
may wish to consider where you place the

Snark in your chain. Or you may wish to
connect the Snark to an A/B box, to the
“tuner out” jack of your volume pedal, or to
the “stereo out” jack of one of your pedals.
Enjoy!

THANKS!

Thanks for buying Snark. We work hard
every day to make exceptional tuning
products…because you work hard every day
and you need products that are dependable
and highly accurate. Thanks for your support!

POWER UP

We recommend using a 9-Volt adaptor to
power your Snark. However, if you plan to
power your Snark with a 9-Volt battery,
please use the turn screw on the bottom
cover to access the battery compartment
and connect battery to the battery clip and
reinstall the bottom cover.

If using 9 Volt adaptor, make sure it is a
“center negative” 9 Volt adaptor with at least
100mA output and insert into either of the
DC 9 Volt jacks at the end of the pedal. If you
have a 9 Volt supply connected to one of
these jacks, you can use the other jack to
power another device.

LET’S GET STARTED

Insert cable from instrument into the IN
jack at right side of pedal. Use MUTE output
to connect pedal to your amplifier. When you
are using the MUTE output jack, every time
you step on the foot switch to engage the
tuning function, the output from the pedal is
silenced.

Pitch Calibration. The tuner automatically is
set to A440 pitch reference. If you want to
reset it, press the PITCH CAL button on the
end of the pedal, and quickly press either the
UP or DOWN button to adjust the pitch
upward or downward. If you select a pitch
other than A440, it will be displayed on the
LCD whenever the foot switch is engaged
and the pedal is in the tuning mode. If using
battery power, unplugging the cable from the
input jack will reset the tuner to A440. If
using DC supply (or battery power) press
“PITCH CAL” to reset to A440.

When tuning function is engaged and
cable is inserted into IN jack, you will see a
