Fender RT-1000 rack tuner

i had one of these tuners (sold it) but i can tell you from experiance your not gonna learn much of anything at all from the manual that you can't figure out on your own, i remember having some questions myself and the manual did me no good what so ever. just food for thought.
 
Thanks guys. I had the piece of paper manual, but lost it when I moved. I just had it in my rack and ran a seperate cord.I just want to know how to hook it up to my amp so I can take advantage of the mute without having to unplug,etc.
 
You need to plug the instrument into the INPUT #2 in the back of the tuner. INPUT #1 will not be affected by the MUTE, only INPUT #2. Then the OUTPUT to your amp, then the MUTE will mute the entire thing. I had one and just shipped it away yesterday, but my guitar player still has one (which I have to tell how to hook it up everytime) stupid guitar players.
 
Hi everybody, I found this thread by googling "Fender RT 1000 manual" as I'm in the same situation... wondering if I can download a copy of the user's manual anywhere. No luck yet. :(

But maybe you RT-1000 owners can solve my simple problem. All I want to do is hook a microphone up to this thing so I can tune an acoustic. I've tried 2 different mics, but I guess they don't have the right levels to get a rise out of the unit, because nothing happens. (They're PC mics, and they work fine plugged straight into my computer.)

I know guitars and mics have different levels, input impedances, etc. But that's as far as my knowledge goes. Can someone suggest a good cheap mic that will work with this unit?

Thanks!
