Im looking for a true bypass tuner pedal that lights up so it can be used on stage...Suggestions? All I know of is the Peterson StroboStomp but thats too pricey.

Re: True Bypass Tuner Pedal
The Strobostomp is the only one I know of. It's a great pedal and it's the most accurate tuner I've come across, don't let the price scare you, it'll be one of the best investments you'll ever make.

You could always get a less expensive tuner such as the Boss and use an A/B box to pull the tuner out of the signal path when tuning. The combined price of the Boss and A/B box would likely be less than the price of the Strobostomp.

Are you sure about that? I have one and the manual states that both outputs are buffered, not passive.

In all honesty, the Boss TU-2 is pretty transparent, although not "true bypass." If you're in a live application, and you're not running a whole load of effects and not running an effects loop, I don't see true bypass being completely necessary.

I use a Boss TU-2 in my chain and don't notice a significant degradation of tone.

I use a Matrix stage tuner 3000. I don't think it is true bypass, but it has a monitor setting, so when I want to check my tuning I step on it to turn it on and it works in silent mode. All that is required is to put a jack in the monitor output. It also sells for about $50.00 less than a Boss TU2.

Why is it a good idea to have a buffered bypass pedal in the pedal chain??

Re: True Bypass Tuner Pedal
Basically a buffer is good in a long chain of effects or long cable because the signal will degrade the further it must travel, and a buffer restores some of the loss. So it alters the signal back to normal, but when its their without the need it usually makes it sound not as good. Boss pedals are known to have a good buffers regardless.

Re: True Bypass Tuner Pedal
So I should put a non true bypass BOSS tuner (buffer) first in my pedal chain? (all other effects are true bypass)

Re: True Bypass Tuner Pedal
That's one way to go in order to buffer your signal upfront.
That would be fine, but if you have a delay and/or reverb pedal I strongly suggest putting the tuner before those so you're not suddenly cutting off echo when you switch on the TU-2.
