Boss TU2 Chromatic Pedal Tuner

Re: Boss TU2 Chromatic Pedal Tuner

Yes you can. You just need the Boss adapter to do it. I cant remember the model #.
 
Re: Boss TU2 Chromatic Pedal Tuner

Cheers for that.

I'm getting rid of my LS-2 as the only thing I use it for is powering other pedals and am getting a TU-2, so its great that it does the power thing also.
 
Re: Boss TU2 Chromatic Pedal Tuner

I'm curious can you run the TU2 thru the effects loop or is it better in front of the amp?
 
Re: Boss TU2 Chromatic Pedal Tuner

Its just a tuner so , yeah I suppose you could. I like last in the chain just before the amp so I can use to shut off everything real quick.

I'm pretty sure that it will work with any of the regular pedal adapters. I power my whole pedalboard (10 pedals) from a Boss PSM-5 with a Visual Sound 1-spot plugged into it.

I've got a PM-5 too pretty neat bit of kit.
 
Re: Boss TU2 Chromatic Pedal Tuner

It is an my effects loop with my other Boss pedals which are chorus, pitch shifter, delay, and reverb. It is the first pedal in my chain. The loop is a series loop in a Boogie Mark IV. Back when I was using a dual rectifier which had a parallel loop, I think the tuner would have been better off in front of the amp cause silent tuning was not possible in that type of loop.

I'm curious can you run the TU2 thru the effects loop or is it better in front of the amp?
 
Re: Boss TU2 Chromatic Pedal Tuner

I noticed some ground loop humming when I powered other pedals off the TU-2. Anyone have any explanations and (even better) solutions for that?

You have to use the right Boss power supply. I have a Boss power supply that is a slightly different model than the right one, that injects a hum into the signal path.

is the right one

is the on that injected the hum.
 
Re: Boss TU2 Chromatic Pedal Tuner

But I use a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 to power the TU-2.

I would change that to the Boss PSA for the Boss Pedals, assuming you ave isolated the noise to the power supply. I already stated that even a different Boss PS introduced unwanted noise.
 
Re: Boss TU2 Chromatic Pedal Tuner

I don't get any noise when I power the TU-2 with the Pedal Power 2 supply. The noise comes in when I take a daisy chain to run from the TU-2 to other Boss (and similar-to-Boss) pedals.

Re: Boss TU2 Chromatic Pedal Tuner

That is different than what I had. I was couldn't even run a single pedal with the noisy power supply. Maybe try a different daisy chain pedal? Your power supply is able to deliver enough electrical current right?
