How do people mute there bass when using a rackmount tuner live.. as usually the di is taken before it gets to the rack tuner so the mute button on the amp or tuner is useless as the sound of u tuning is coming out of front of house.
is it jsut a matter of sending your lead to an a/b box and splitting a signal to the tuner seperately? |

| Yes. And... some rack tuners will have a footswitch jack, in which you would connect a latching footswitch. |

I had the same problem. I sold my rack tuner and got a Peterson Strobostomp. Way easier and the best tuner on the market. Will solve your problem instantly

And, FWIW, I've got both the StoboStomp and the Stroboflip . . . for stage use I prefer the Stroboflip. YMMV.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
