Virtual Capo

Virtual Capo

The Virtual Capo effect, found exclusively in the Fender Tone Master Pro, allows guitarists to digitally shift the pitch of their instrument up or down in semitone increments without physically using a capo or retuning. This effect enables seamless key changes and creative chord voicings while maintaining natural tone and playability, making it ideal for live performance and studio applications where quick transpositions are required.

  • MIX Adjusts pitched-shifted/clean signal mix. Set to full clockwise for full effect.
  • RESOLUTION High setting provides better polyphony but a less-natural transient behavior.
  • TRACKING Fast tracking provides ultra-low latency at the expense of less-natural transient behavior.
