Tuner Out, Buffers & Mute

Hi,

Building a junction box for my pedal board, which has buffers, a passive bypass (connects input straight to output):

Guitar --> | Buffer -> True bypass looper -> Buffer | --> Amp

Am using Klon buffer circuits.

Am wanting to add a tuner out split off the input. Am I best doing that pre or post buffer, or does it not matter?

Also, i'm wanting to add a mute switch on the output, before the amp. I believe I just connect the signal to ground? - is it fine to do that in front of the amp and leave it sat like that?

Thanks!

Put the tuner out after the first buffer. That will make it so when you split your signal the impedances won't have any bad interaction which causes you to lose highs.

As for the mute, you can send the signal to ground or just leave the signal floating. I'd put the mute either just before or just after the last buffer.
