Tuner sucks...tone hello, i would like to know your ideas on keeping the tuner out of the signal chain. i don't want to sacrifice tone for my tuner. is there any way i can split my signal without altering or coloring my sound? i know i lot of people will say "switch from one to the other", but i use a lot of different guitars with differnt tunings and need it there. thanks |

I use an AB box, one side to tuner and the other to my amp. The AB box is not completely transparent, but it's not like playing through the tuner...Laurence |

Me too. I built an A/B box with buffer. It's very transparent for me. My tuner is horrible. Leaks digital crap through the output! |

thanks for your replys but i need the tuner on all the time. i'm planning on using a signal kill switch, which pulls the o/p of the last pedal to ground. |

| peter | What if you make a Y-connector to parallel your amp and the tuner, and put it AFTER a pedal that has a buffered output? That should be able to drive the tuner without losing treble.... |

| Chris | Bob - all the suggestions for A/B boxes and Y-connectors are perfectly good ones, but what about a another tuner? I have just started using a Boss TU-2 and cannot beleive how good it is. Mute/bypass function for silent/monitored tuning and a transparent-as-is-humanly-possible buffer circuit. No detectable signal colouration or loss at all. This comes to you from someone who doesn't normally care for Boss pedals too much! Chris |

Use Jack Orman's 'quad buffer' - four isolated outputs that also prevent ground loops to a certain extent - works for me! I put some pots on two of the outputs to allow fuzz faces to be plugged in after it and not sound like crap (variable impedence). ... Ian |
