Default where to put tuner

Hey everyone I just bought a TU-2 stomp tuner, and I'm not sure where to put it in my line...I have a PADI...should I put it in my effects loop with my effects pedals or should I go guitar to tuner to padi?? I want the bypass function so I'm not interested in putting it in my line out of the padi cause I know a lot of you guys feel that's the only place tuners should go...away from the main line lemme hear your suggestions...need to know how to set up for worship this week.

I don't think it really matters...I prefer it to have before the volume pedal.

I really don't know where is best, but I put mine first in line after the guitar. Works for me!

take the tuner away from the main line. TU-2 is NOT a true bypass tuner pedal. the only tuner pedal that is true bypass is the peterson strobostomp. If you have a volume pedal put it on the tuner out if not put it with your effects pedals.

Run it from a seperate output of the PADI. Putting it in-line adds links to a chain you want to keep as short as possible.

Definitely not between the guitar and the PADI!

Your guitar should be loaded by the highest impedance link in your signal chain. This will insure that the very low level signal coming from your instrument is passed on to the PADI preamp as cleanly as possible.

First choice would be to connect your TU2 in-line between the output and your amp. Second choice would be to connect it as the first device in your effects loop chain.
