Sadowsky SPB-1 preamp pedal: Is the tuner out always active?

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if the tuner output is always active or only when this pedal is put into mute mode? I'd like to have an always on tuner that receives a dry signal regardless as to whether the pedal is muted or not.....

Also, when the pedal isn't activated and is in bypass mode (i.e. NO tone shaping) does the mute still function? That is, does the mute switch still mute just the dry signal, passing it to the tuner out?

Many thanks!
