I am looking for the most direct, and simple way to incorporate my tuner into my rig without running my signal through it.  All I use is an H&K Rotosphere straight into my "75 Twin Reverb.  I've tried running a signal out of the Left Output on the Rotosphere to my tuner but that changes the sound dramatically.  Is there a type of "Y" splitter available that wont compromise my signal???
Thanks...

If you buffered your input signal you could make a box with 2 ouputs which did completely nothing to your signal except put it through 2 outs. You could also use 2 effects in parallel that way! :D
I don't like Holland. Nobody has the transistors I want.

What about this, I made one and use it all the time for my tuner:

I have also been thinking of simply getting an Ernie Ball volume pedal.  I had one a while back and it certainly takes care of the tuner issue.  Is this a good way to go? :)

If my memory serves me right, what it is is a buffered input signal and one out to the tuner and one to the volume pot ;)

....you have two plug ins for your input channel,right?I run a cable from the unused input of the amp (I use normal channel side)to the input of a tuner myself......works ok on my twin....

I use a DPDT stomp switch in a box with 3 - 1/4" jacks. The switch is wired to send the signal either to the amp or the tuner.
More dynamics????? I'm playing as loud as I can!

That's what I have with the signal muting when I go to tuner mode.

I'm not familiar with the "DPDT stomp switch" but it sounds like just the thing.  Can you tell me a bit more about it and tell me where to get one?
Thanks! :D
