    hey does anyone know of any way to rig this thing to tune both when its muting the signal and when its not... this would be great because sometimes i like to detune on stage and then back again and i also like to tune silently between songs.

    Not sure if I understand what you are asking. Are you saying you want to tune while the signal is still audible?

    Otherwise, I would think the muting function would work best for you, like you said, 'silently between songs'. I love that it mutes the signal when tuning, so I've not tried to get it to function the other way.

    well i want it to do BOTH. I want to be able to tune while still hearing myself and then press the pedal to switch it to mute and tune... this way i can accurately detune while playing live

    You can't do both without switching the output cable.

    I still don't understand why you would need both, and I don't think Boss does either. If you need to hear it, what's the point of having a tuner?

    so i know its accurate. I guess no one understand what im trying to do. When i want to tune up i want to do it silently as not to annoy everyone BUT i love doing cool detune tricks while playing (say after a solo dropping the E string down to maybe C or so then back up to E to go into the song). I basically always want the tuner on whether im in normal or bypass mode. I was thinking maybe some form of y-splitter cable or something but i am really pretty stumped. I guess there really is no way to do it.

    Sounds to me like you need a Hipshot D-tuner. You can tune your E down to C and back again with the flip of a lever.

    that would be kinda cool but i like just screwing with the tuning kind of like an effect. I guess i could get a kahler tremelo or a bass whammy or a hipshot but i just wanted to know if i could do it with what i have :)
