The Anatomy of the TP-4T
Battery Tray Releses: Pinching the tabs of battery cover toward each other to remove.
This provides access to the battery compartment. When inserting new batteries align
the battery's polarity with the markings inside the battery compartment.
a
Tuner: This button controls the built-in tuner’s on/off function.
Simply press the button once to activate the tuner (even if the guitar is not plugged in)
and the tuner display will light. The sound will be muted when the tuner is in operation.
When you play a string the tuner will display the note name of the pitch you’re playing.
Then, simply adjust the pitch of your strings in the direction of the flashing left or right
arrow to both sides of the chosen note.
As you approach the correct pitch, the flashing speed slows until you are in tune and
both arrows illuminate in green.
To save battery power, the tuner will automatically turn off after about three minutes of
operation and may be reactivated by pushing the tuner button again. If you finish tuning
before the tuner automatically turns off, you may turn off the tuner manually by simply
pressing the tuner button.

EQ Controls:
The TP-4T features a three-band equalizer that allows precise tonal
adjustment with a maximum of 12dB (deciBels) of boost or cut. Each slider enables
you to increase or decrease the power of sound in a designated spectrum. The “Low”
controls works in the bass range, the “High” works in the treble range, while
the “Mid” control will allow you to adjust the boost/cut at a mid band center frequency
especially chosen to give the most appropriate harmonic control possible.

of your sound, this LED will illuminate.
