Re: Boss TU2 wierdness

here is my two sense: i used to be extreme-some guitarers still are-but 
they keep their tuner out of the audio path-always the best way to go for 
clarity. second is to make the tuner thee 1st in your signal path-for the 
second most clear path-that way it gets a clean pitch to work w/.
