Pedal Board

There is no "best" way. It's totally personal.

If putting your tuner in parallel with your Kitchenaid Mixmaster immediately after your Electric Dog Whistle works great for you, anybody telling you you're wrong is wasting their breath.

It's like arguing about purple being the wrong color for a guitar.

Case in point: I have an ancient Thomas Organ Cry Baby pedal that makes a glorious variable howl when it's hooked up backwards (guitar into the output jack, and input jack to amp). I've used it on several recordings, and people have asked me how I got that wacky space-ship sound.

If one simply turns the pedals to the off position, then there is no "Processing " occurring . So much for expert opinion 😜


But if that is what floats your boat carry on.

Some people just can't admit to being wrong. Sour grapes.

That's pretty ironically funny , looked in the mirror lately ? Apparently some people fail to grasp when they are ones who are actually " wrong" and must then attempt to project that on to others .. Now I do realize that objective analysis escapes some peoples grasp, especially when they simply accept speculation or written editorial opinion (even when based on faulty premise of reasoning), to be some imaginary proof of fact.... But that is simply confusing pure speculation with objective reality..
While there could be at least one common sense logical reason to put a tuner/with a buffered output first, it has absolutely nothing to do with the ludicrous reason given in that article, and by no stretch of imagination is remotely close to being a given universal. Feel free to cling to your mistaken notion that your subjective beliefs , somehow how mandate a fact of where a tuner "should be" in the signal chain , but expecting others to buy into that notion , is less than objective also
