Re: Why do so many floor-based tuners have DC-Out?
I've used a Pedal Power and a One Spot for many years now. Never had a problem with ground loops.

Originally posted by trevorus View PostUnless they pedals have isolated jacks and likely isolation circuitry, they do through the signal chain as it is. It's more a ground loop issue.
I think the power out jack was brought into pedal parlance for the daisy chain, before power bricks and the like were in common use.
Agreed re: reason for the power out. I don't know how long isolated supplies have been available, but the Boss PSM-5 (daisy chain power supply & master switch) has been available since 1983.

Originally posted by dystrust View PostGround loops are another potential downside. Any decent power supply will have isolated outs, whereas everything on a daisy chain shares a common ground.

Is there a reason for it, historically or otherwise? Is there some benefit to daisy chaining from my tuner as opposed to straight from my DC brick?Tags: None
