Anyone know how make a tuner pedal that stays on but doesn’t mute the bass? I’m messing around with upright bass for a little bit and want to be able to check my intonation on the fly while playing. Is this a mode on the boss or any other pedal for that matter or does it require modification?
Go to 4:55 where she talks about it.
If you haven’t heard Lake Street Dive before you’re missing out.
You can use a A/B splitter. One goes to your chain and the other to the tuner.
The Boss ME-90B is a multi-effects pedal that does this.
It might be overkill for your needs though. lol
This is probably the simplest option, thank you. Does splitting the signal, affect tone noticeable?
my Boss TU-3 can do this, it has a bypass output aswell, so can run the tuner and have sound 
hope this helps, sure more variations of pedal tuners have this
Nope, most tuners or splitters do nothing with your tone. Maybe look for a splitter that includes a buffer.
Was gonna say this. I use my Strobostomp as an “always-on” tuner and frequently check fretless intonation against it. Works fantastic.
I just checked and my korg pitch black mini doesn’t have the bypass feature. So thats a bummer. So I guess its the boss or strobostomp. Thanks for the help!
Lake Street Dive is a great band. Seen them live a couple times. Highly recommend.
My tc electronic polytune pedal has an always on option as well , never tried it though
Yes, the normal Strobo Stomp also has this feature.
Correct, I’ve got the PolyTune3 full size and I’ve got it in always on mode. It’s nice for learning as you can quickly confirm that you’re hitting the note you intended. You unscrew the thumb screw on the back (like if you’re going to change the battery) and there’s a a couple DIP switch in there that you can flip. You need to put it in “buffered bypass display always on” mode, which is both switches set to the right. You’ll want to have a power supply connected though as it will chew through 9V batteries like crazy otherwise.
Second this! I have the TU-2 I keep on bypass when I play. Makes things so much easier and accurate than the headstock tuner I’d been using before.
Haha yes it probably does 
I started with a battery and it lasted about 4 days, even with making sure to remove the input cable (acts like a power switch like an active bass/guitar). I then picked up a pedal power supply.
