Welcome
Using the Tuner
Congratulations on your purchase of the Roland VG-99. This TurboStart contains step-by-
step instructions that will quickly introduce you to the VG-99’s major features.
The VG-99 features an on-board tuner that lets you quickly and easily tune your guitar.
Here’s how to use the tuner:

on the VG-99 to the input of your amp, mixer, or PA. Or if you prefer, connect your
headphones to the VG-99’s PHONES output.
Output Select
Note: Use the VG-99’s GUITAR OUT jack to send your dry guitar signal to a different amp if
you’d like—none of the VG-99’s modeled sound comes out of the GUITAR OUT jack.
It’s a good idea to tell the VG-99 what you’re connected to for amplification; i.e. a guitar
amp or PA system, etc. This setting—referred to as “Output Select”—allows the VG-99 to
optimize its sound for the type of system you’re using.

Now turn on the VG-99 and your amp.
