    A common question I see is people asking where in the signal chain you put your tuner pedal. Working in a music store for a decade, and being on Internet forums for double that - almost everyone says to put your tuner pedal first in the chain. In my opinion this isn't the best place.
    Putting in front doesn't allow you to mute silently if you use distortion pedals after it and have them on, and not mentioned in the video, Wah's and fuzzes hate buffers, which most tuner pedals have.
    Try it after your distortions, so that you can mute your signal, reset your pedals, and tune up

    Judging by my DM's, Guitarists will always tell you that pedal order is subjective and to experiment - unless it's a tuner pedal apparently. How wrong am I here?

    Well, obviously, as is the case with eq’s, compressors and distortions, the answer is to just have tuners in multiple locations in your signal chain.
    …OR grab an old Boss PSM-5.

    Another good thing : if you have a bad cable or a problem with the power supply at the other pedals, you can silent it.

    • @DannyUnderwood

      great thought! I use it to test my pedalboard too, if I don't have sound but can still tune, the problem is after the pedalboard!

    I have a crappy tuner for if I need to do that. Wasn't a bad tuner, til I did an outdoor gig during the day and couldn't see it. It's now a mute/a/y pedal to me.

    Lol. Um, this does not apply to me. I’m currently using my 13 cable method. My preamp is inside of the loop of my gate. When I use my tuner to mute, its dead silent no matter what effects are on. And especially with as much gain as I use

    • @DannyUnderwood
      @DannyUnderwood  Місяць тому

      if you think 13 cable method is good, wait til you hear about 14!

  • @timm_246

    So it works (tunes) just as good at the end as if it were at the beginning of the chain?

    • @DannyUnderwood
      @DannyUnderwood  8 днів тому

      yeah I tend to just turn off any modulation pedals that detune your sound and its fine!

    Gee I wonder how many times someone tried to tune his axe with all that noise! I use it first, then have a Polytune last pretty decent output buffer specs on it. If I had only 1 it would go 1st and I'd learn to shut off my distortion like any sane guitarist...

    • @DannyUnderwood
      @DannyUnderwood  3 дні тому

      Did you watch the video? Turn your tuner on, turn off your noisy pedals next, tune. That way you mute the hiss first

    • @ChrisMichaelsChicago
      @ChrisMichaelsChicago 3 дні тому

      @@DannyUnderwood Yeah you're also sending ALL of the noise, from every cable and every pedal (regardless if they are on or not) into your signal, (and into the buffer (amplified noise floor):on every pedal in the chain. Tuners really hate a garbage signals. if you need a kill switch and you don't know how to turn a knob on your guitar, u got bigger problems

    OMG! Thank you!!! Just found you video. I’m using an acoustic with sh pup, no onboard tuner, EQ, 2 OD’s and a Metal Zone. Had 3 different tuner pedals at the front and they all popped and didn’t mute the noise. Placed a the tuner at the end and now it’s completely silent. Thank you!🙏🤘

    Nice! I wanted to know if placing a tuner at the end of the chain for buffer reasons is fine since I have a buffered wah at the start if the chain. This is perfect and makes a lot of sense, thanks!

      Yea now i want to place my Joyo buffer tuner on the last since i hv boss cs3 after the tuner, so now i hv buffer for 1st and the end of chain. Thanks for the awesome info

    I’ve always placed my tuner at the end of my signal chain for this very reason. Never seemed to be a problem.

      Yes! I've never loved having a volume pedal though, it always felt like a waste when I have my volume knob on my guitar. but I get why people like them!

  • @davidtomkins4242
    @davidtomkins4242 8 місяців тому

    More pertinent question would be to work out why your signal is so noisy in the first place….

  • @taxationistheft2.0

    I have a buffered wah at the beginning. Should i put the tuner after that or before

    • @DannyUnderwood
      @DannyUnderwood  5 місяців тому

      I would say wah first always. they are picky about things. It's unlikely to add noise to your signal, and you could tune with it on or off it wouldn't matter

    I bought a cheap tuner to put at the front of my acoustic board, and unfortunately a ground loop happens, but it also happens when I plug into the through of my DI which is at the end of my board.

    • @DannyUnderwood
      @DannyUnderwood  6 місяців тому

      maybe the tuner is too cheap? Which one did you get?
