M13. tuner out ?

Hi Rich, Aaron... My M13 is about to arrive in a couple of weeks.
I know it has an onboard tuner, but i need a more viewable tuner. I normally wear glasses, but not on stage.. .so i need a Korg Pitchblack or similar..
i´d like to know... Can i plug it into the Effect send output and not retutning to the M13 ? or.. can i plug it into the Right output ? cos i´m not using a stereo setup and one of the outputs is free... Could this affect the sound of those stereo effects (chorus, delays, etc) ?????
just wondering this... otherwise i´ll have to get an A/B box, cos i want the tuner out of the chain.

thanks guys

I think you may be surprised of the visibility of the tuner on the M13. I find it no less visible than other tuners on stage.

Really ?
What i really need is a high contrast tuner (brilliant light, dark environment) cos i see really blurry. On stage, without my glasses i can´t read the set list on the floor (18p Arial Font )
And i guess the M13 tuner is not good at that (contrast) That´s why i´m thinking of an alternative

Here's a photo of an M9's tuner. The letter of the string being tuned is much larger on the M13. And of course... contrast is adjustable to your personal preference.

The pitchblack is true bypass; so unless you're worried about the tone degradation from an extra 6 inches of cable, why couldn't you just put it in front of the M13?

You can come out of the FX Send to your tuner with no return. Set the FX loop preference in the set up menu to PreAll so that no FX go into your tuner.
