GX-1のチューニング how to tune GX-1
"GX-1のチューニングです。非常にややこしい。this is hwo to adjust tune on GX-1, so crazy. You have to adjust every over tone, and there are 8 sound boards on teach raw on upper and lower. There is only one for solo, two for pedal.
Once either Upper or Lower start having problem of unstable tune, you need to correct on eacy over tone with checking which sound board has problem."
