Should be fine, not like it'll cost anything but time to try it out!

My pedalboard costs approximately 191 Metal Zones.

at the practice space its before my delay
at home its at the end for the neighbors
i have an ernie ball vp jr that i use all the time
i also have shitty rfx that works more like a light switch than a sooth swell that i put at the end sometime as a killswitch
if i think its gonna get real noisy
ive never noticed signal loss as far as volume level when the rfx gets plugged in

Then you have to turn off tons of crap just to tune, no? I never understood how people could have their tuner anywhere but first for that reason.


Actually as long as there's no heavy detuning going on, I've never had a problem tuning with some thick dirt (I've compared). fwiw.

I started using a volume pedal to go right before my looper. It's basically a necessity.
