The tone goes uhp as power does. If you're using an external tuner,
tune for highest pitch. If you use an auto tuner, tone goes all over
the place as power changes. I have the noise bridge on back order, and
they haven't billed my credit card. I think they said a couple weeks,
so I should be getting it any day now. I'll post here when I get it.
