http://orchid-electronics.co.uk/Mic_Mute_lite.htm Orchid Electronics stuff is generally excellent quality at low prices. I notice you're in Spain, that shouldn't be a problem.

The TC Polytune mini or regular size tuner pedal is one of the best solutions - any floor tuner pedal will have a mute that will let you kill just the guitar while you tune - there are many to choose from. Korg Pitch Black, or a Boss Tuner as well - I have all of those and have really gotten used to being able to just mute the guitar and with a quick full strum the TC Polytune will show you which string is out - it switches to single string automatically when you pluck just one string. Instead of having to reach over and hit the right small button on a mixer to mute a channel, the floor pedal tuner, seems to me, will be the most comfortable to use during a live set, and you'll never accidentally mute your mic channel...

But first choose a mixer. I have never seen a mixer, even a two-channel one, that didn't have a mute button for each channel. I have to think picking the right mixer will be a lot easier than most of the other options offered.

The kind of microphone mute switch that Mandobart recommends is exactly what you need. Something that will go in the XLR line between your mic and the mixer, allowing you to keep the balanced signal and the phantom power while also allowing you to easily mute your signal with your foot so you can tune (using a clip-on or a tuning fork and your ears or whatever).

Radial make a cool little pedal that allows for muting mics. I have it (can’t remember the model), and use it to mute my vocal mic without having to go back to the mixer.

https://www.radialeng.com/product/pz-pro The older PZ-Pre is also a nice piece of equipment, but it has fewer features, no phantom power, no balanced input for a mic, and only one EQ shared by both channels. @zurdillo: if you're in the market for something like it--and especially if you ever play two different guitars on stage or want to blend you mic signal with a pickup signal--you might want to have a look at the PZ-Pro. Or, as I mentioned before, just pick up an in-line microphone mute switch. Louis |

Thank you very much for the info.
Since a switch xlr pedal seems the better solution and an economic tuning pedal do this job at half price, I will test this option because I will have the switch and perhaps a usable tuner 👍🏼😊

True. A workaround I've found on the smaller Yamaha mixer I've used is that the pad button can function as a mute for the acoustic guitar channel unless you have a really hot signal going into it.

Here's a $25 mute pedal that also includes a tuner:
