DIY tuner out

[ejbasses]

Hi guys

I wanna build a tuner out for my pedal board and i need some ideas. Where do i get the signal for the tuner? Plus where do i put the buffers? Can i build an FX loop too?

On my pedalboard, the tuner is in series, first thing in the signal chain. If I were to add a tuner out jack, I would do it right at the guitar input. I wouldn't use a buffer, I would just wire it in parallel with the input to the pedalboard. I dunno, I guess a buffer before the tuner wouldn't hurt. And, sure, you could build an FX loop into it as well.

I just use a small AB box.  I built it myself and it's only 3"x2"x1".
