Where to put a Boss TU-2 Tuner in the Effects chain?

[poweredbysoul]

Just putting my pedal board together guitar-Pick Up Booster-Wah-Phase 90-amp.
The booster has to be first for max benefit. Does it matter if the tuner is last and into the amp??

Thanks

I'd put the TU-2 right after the booster, then wah, then phase 90.

guitar->booster->TU-2->Wah->Phase 90->Amp.

I put mine at the end. You can use it as a killswitch then too. Everything going wild, then bam, dead silence. Useful piece of kit that.

Always put the tuner first, period..LOL.

I don't see what difference it makes.

I put mine last, so the buffer is last in my effects chain. My OD pedal prefers the straight signal from the guitar, instead of the slightly boosted buffer signal.

It'll be fine after the pickup booster or after the wah or after the phaser.

Using it as a mute / killswitch is also useful to avoid the clunks and hums when changing guitars. But put it where you won't stomp on it accidentally during a song - I've done that a couple of times and it's scary! :smack: Now I make sure I can't step on the TU-2 without really meaning it.

I use it as last in the chain
Since i have mostly true bypassed pedals ,so i need buffering ,and dead silence.
If you use a whammy or any othe pitch shifting pedal ,you have to be carefull.

Last, as kill switch and buffer.

Thanks I'll try it at the end. How does the buffer effect the signal and tone?

Thanks

i've always put it last so that when you use it as a killswitch, it also kills any noise coming from any other pedals that may be on at the time.

I have my TU-2 third in line, after my DOD FX10 Preamp and my Boss Compressor. I find that after the compressor helps get better tuner readings. I use mine as a killswitch also, for guitar changes.

And yes, keep it out of the way where you won't accidentally step on it. LOL! We've all done that, I'd bet!

Good Luck!
