and quinta-flat tuning, the GA-1 tuner packs basic functionality and
convenient tuning functions into ultra-compact bodies.

An Easy-to-Use Dedicated Guitar and Bass Tuner
This
dedicated guitar/bass tuner lets you select either Guitar mode or Bass
mode for truly easy operation with automatically detected pitch. The
wide detection range supports 7-string guitar (7B through 1E) in Guitar
mode, and 6-string bass (Low-B, Hi-C) in Bass mode. A high-sensitivity
mic is built-in, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic guitars.
Ultra-compact Body with a "Tilt Slit"
Although the
GA-1 is small, thin, and light, don’t let its pocket-sized body fool
you. The GA-1 can accurately tune any guitar or bass. From studio to
stage, tuning is easy and convenient. The back of the unit includes a
unique arc-shaped "tilt slit" that lets you insert a plastic card for
use as a handy stand.
High-Precision LCD Meter
The
meter section uses a LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with
the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display.
Additional visual feedback is provided by LEDs that indicate pitch
deviation.
Sound Out -- Internal Speaker Provides a Reference Pitch
In
addition to visual tuning via meter, the GA-1 can play reference
pitches from its internal speaker (Sound Out) for tuning by ear. Each
press of the Sound switch will cycle the output sound through
7B->6E->5A->4D->3G->2B->1E in Guitar mode, or
LB->4E->3A->2D->1G->HC in Bass mode.
Quinta Flat Tuning mode -- a world-wide first!
The
GA-1’s Quinta Flat Tuning mode supports the lowered tunings used in
heavy metal styles to give more weight to the sound. Until now,
dedicated guitar tuners have supported a maximum of only four semitones
below standard pitch, but the GA-1 gives you five steps of flatted
tuning, extending as far as five semitones below standard pitch, and
supporting even super-long scale guitars that are five frets longer
than conventional guitars.
Auto Power Off Function
If
you leave the unit powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any
operation, the Auto Power Off function will turn the power off
automatically, avoiding unnecessary battery consumption.
Approximately 100 hours of continuous use
Low-power
consumption design allows an amazing 100 hours (approximate) of
continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, Meter mode, zinc-carbon
batteries).
* Even if the pitch is within the detection range,
detection may not be possible for instrumental sounds that contain a
large number of overtones or have a rapid decay.
