Is there a way to mod my boss tuner (tu-2)to be true bypass?
i really noticed some tone suck last practice... i took it out of the chain and my tone was back! |

| | | | How were you powering the boss?..........I had that problem when the battery was starting to fail. |

I don't use a power supply (and don't want to get one). I would like my
tuner to only be powered when I'm using it. The Boss TU-2 is constantly
draining the battery when an input is plugged in. I would like an
electronic tuner that doesn't do this. |

Note: Connecting a cable to the Input jack will turn the power on, but the tuner will not be in tuner mode. Press the TUNER ON/OFF switch to engage tuner mode.
To conserve battery life, disconnect the cable from the INPUT jack when not in use.

they are cheap and easy to build or fairly easy to find already built
