I'm stumped on how to use this tuner. Nothing seems to happen.. no matter what button I press. Any help?

Hi,
I had not used the tuner before, only have the Eclipse a few weeks, but your post prompted me to try.
I am a guitar player and am not convinced it it the most useful tuner for a guitar players needs ie what we are used to looking at, but it did seem to work for me.
the things I noticed that were different…
1. It does not work in Bypass mode (Guitar players might expect this)
2. The standard display has a line that you must get to the centre, but it looks like a 50% complete bar, rather than a needle
3. You can click on the pitch and it will display the +/- cents to the string you are on
4.The note button just displays the note ….eg E6 and not if it is flat or sharp.
It is a different looking tuner, it seems to work, but I think it will take a bit of getting used to.
Not saying it is bad, just not what I am used to as a Guitar player.
Are you seeing anything like this??
For reference I have it in the FX-Loop of a modelling unit and I found it better if I bypassed the modelling unit FX.

Thanks. I'll try again, but so far nothing moves. I don't need a tuner I have to get used to – I'm busy enough programming presets. I have a $29 tuner that knows what note I'm playing without any learning curve.
Assuming that's your Tele, I have one too. 1969 Paisley (which is mostly gone).

well it definitely works, but I can not see me using it.
seems you have to jump between 2 screens, one to find the note and then one to see how much it is out by +/- cents.
cant see that you could use the cents on its own in a noisy environment as you might be at Eb or F rather than E.
It's cool it's in there, but I think I will stick to my normal tuner.
Yeah that is my Tele, it's a Custom Shop 51 Nocaster …. LOVE it!
Old Paisley tele, nice!! I bet that looks really cool with the real life relic treatment!
