Howdy :)
I have read the manuals, but have been unable to find out if you can set the reference pitch on the Mustang tuner to say, 432Hz...and how.
I am about to purchase the M3 v2, and would like to know :)

Thank you!

Decided to try the "be one with the universe" A=432 Hz tuning eh? Unfortunately, I am pretty sure the Mustang's tuners are set @ A=440 Hz.

Furthermore, most tuners I have seen only only let you calibrated down to A=435/436 Hz including the Pitch Black pedal tuner. The Peterson V-SAM Virtual Strobe tuner is the only one I know of that let you calibrate down as far as A=410 Hz but they don't seem to make them any more - maybe you can find a used one.

Question: If I tune my guitar to A=432 Hz tuning and then run that into a distortion box, will it come out warm and fuzzy instead of hot and nasty?

Just kidding...

Haha, I think it WILL come out warm and fuzzy!

Yes, I decided to try it. Can't hurt :)
I have to wait with my eval on it until after the summer season's gigs, though.
Several tuners I have looked into can calibrate to 432Hz, including cheapo clip-on tuners.
The tuner on my Bose T1 mixer does it, too.
Anyway, I just wanted to know if it was at all possible to calibrate the Mustang tuner, or if it was JUST 440Hz.

No, it should be fixed with LA (A) = 440 hz

by the way it looks like Pink Floyd knew and have used in the past 432 Hz tuning.
