I'll try to explain what I'm planned to do.

So I'll hope to recieve my Boss BCB-60 pedal board, maybe today, tomorrow ... with DPD from Musicstore Köln.

I only have one pedal (I know ) but I'm planned to buy some more the next months.

Now to fill some space I was planned to also put my metronome and tuner in my board but since my tuner (a marshall regular tuner with mic) only has an input and no output I was wondering if I could get somekind of plug to just send the signal into the pedal but also let it go directly through my DS.

Never heard of such a add-on-function, sorry




Musicstore btw robbed me by sending me a broken Wah I had sent for warranty repair (i paid for shipping to their store, which is fair). It came back with a new problem and they refused to take it back on their own expense but wanted me to pay even though it was broken right out of the box.

Shop at thomann instead!

Ye I know, but you have to say: they deliver new stuff quick and clean.
But if you have problems with anything its a mess I know.

@Usaman: thanks, I'll check it out

Well what I do in my pedalboard is to connect the tuner via phones output of one of my pedals (chorus one).You can also buy A/B switch pedal which is really cheap (check USA man link or by a Boss manufatured one)..I wish I had A/B switch because I want to have muted signal on amp while I'm tuning !

Something like this : http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=478

But cant I just buy a splitter or something?
With 1 jack starting and where you can plug in 2?

One signal to the tuner and one to the effects.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Aug 12 2008, 04:56 PM

I guess its possible But I don't know if there would be signal loss or something...I'm finding a/b switch most professional option heehhe

Ok I need to get one now and somehow place it in my pedalboard

I can only recommend the chromatic tuner in stompbox format by BOSS. It has option to tune muted or bypassed. Tunes extremely accurate aswell.

Posted by: Mrblomme Aug 12 2008, 05:09 PM

Ye I totally understand that but the problem is: I don't have the money atm.

If I had enough money I would simply buy the BOSS TU 2

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Aug 12 2008, 05:17 PM

But Boss TU2 takes one pedal space which in future you will find very valuable...I have the Korg tuner stashed in comparment for it (above wah pedal) in my BCB-60

Posted by: Mrblomme Aug 12 2008, 05:25 PM

You have a picture of your BCB-60?

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Aug 12 2008, 06:22 PM

Hmm not in a reach..But I'll make one !!

Posted by: Mrblomme Aug 12 2008, 09:09 PM

Ye that would be great.

BTW if you place the tuner in the compartment you still need an A/B, but where do you put that then? I cant think where you could put that without taking place for normal pedals.

Or has your tuner also a bypass option?

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Aug 12 2008, 09:38 PM

The most cheapest and easiest option is A/B switch. I would suggest some small switch so it doesn't takes space in the pedalboard. Also this is IMO only temporary solution. The real solution is to get in the future when you have the money Boss TU 2.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Aug 17 2008, 09:02 PM

As I promised :



Well I guess I could squeeze it above the pedals if its small enough...
My tuner has bypass option (input-output) but I don't use it that way because it eats my tone


cheers

It's again a while since I logged the forum. Thanks for posting the picture though.

BTW: do the digitech pedals also work with the boss 8V things to get the energy (cant get the word lol) ?

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 31 2008, 02:05 AM

Actually it's 9 Volts adapter on BCB60, and yes Digitech, so as many other pedals use 9 V as standardized solution.

Only a couple of pedals today use AC regular (110/230V) current, or 18V, and often vintage pedals as well use DC other than 9V.

Posted by: Mrblomme Oct 31 2008, 04:37 PM

O great, other pedals are sometimes cheaper but BOSS are the strongest I think ... made like a tank so I think I'll stick with BOSS.

What would you guys suggest me for a chorus and a delay pedal?

NOTE: I want to do it as cheap as possible

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Oct 31 2008, 10:37 PM

Well Boss CE-5 and Boss DD-3 ....Good quality pedals for the money!

Posted by: Mrblomme Oct 31 2008, 11:36 PM

CE-5 = €95 and DD-3 = €122 isn't really cheap in my eyes

You could go with Behringer pedals and save a lot of money. But in the long run it will add upp one Euro of money to the cursing bucket everytime you're chanhing batteries and you'll curse yourself for buying such a plastic thing.

So you'll save hard case but it'll cost you mental health.

Also for a tuner pedal the Ibanez LU-20 has full bypass while the Boss tuner doesn't. Costs half of what the Boss TU does and doesn't affect the signal. It has an incredibly ugly box though, but that can be thrown in the trash.
