put the tuner at the end! i use it as a failsafe mute if i have delays/fuzzes feeding back antisocially.johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 7:13 amI can't live with a tuner not at the start of the chain

What's a buffer?
What does it do?
Do I need one?
I have a Polytune 2, do I already have one?
TIA

Re: Little buffer box: what would you go for?
From my experience it has always been more benefit having the buffer closer to the start of the chain, to avoid the imbalance that true bypass can introduce rather than trying to remove it at the end of the chain, along with the long cable from the guitar to first pedal earlier the better in my experience.
Are you stuck on having the pedal order as is? Maybe the sunface could go first if you're not stacking it, then the buffer after that? Or rat, sunface, buffer, tuner, delay, reverb? Either way it will probably still work at the end of the chain being a smaller board, but moving it around is always a good fun experiment.
I've also found the biggest thing that introduces issues is having three or more true-bypass pedals in a row that are all bypassing. These days I run a TU-3 in position one on my main board along with boss pedals scattered amongst my board and I feel confident with that. But yeah the lack of buffering pedals is frustrating at times, more so when you love a particular pedal order. x)
