Do you tune it in or play it

Nice one. I like the cab design. Can't wait to see the insides - especially how all those keys are set up.

Thanks Paul, John & Alan.
My understanding of the PT36 is that it has mechanical tuning for 8 preset stations by use of the piano Keys. It has an automatic tuning system by a rotary motion of the drum. Manual tuning can be used when any of the piano keys are depressed.
