Members uz3r Posted October 4, 2009 Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 ok I have a TU2 that I normally run through the front of the amp but Im trying to simplify my setup and Im attempting to run everything through the loop of my amp. Given that Im only going to be using a delay, supressor and tuner I thought this would be ok. But when i put my TU2 in the loop and activate it, it doesnt mute my amp like it does when its in front. why is this? and why is it that Im sure that Ive seen someone with the same amp as me with a rack tuner in their loop which mute their amp?

Members SharkMinusBear Posted October 4, 2009 Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 You probably have a parallel loop, theres a parallel signal going from your preamp>poweramp and also through the fx loop. So if the fx loop is muted, that first signal is still going through fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really keen to get the tuner away from the front of my amp to save some leads and setup time. Is there any issue continuously switching your amp on standby to mute your amp while tuning using the loop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SharkMinusBear Posted October 4, 2009 Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 Shouldn't be, but it may be better to run and extra cable so you can do guitar>tuner>amp.... it's your call, whichever is easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
