Hey everyone, i'm in the midst of designing my new pedalboard, and am going to install one "master" input jack for the guitar. I want to split that where one goes a volume pedal which is first in the chain, the other split goes to a tuner. I know that many people will use an ABY pedal for this, but I'm wonderif if I can just hardwire split from the 1/4" jack... two leads from the ring and two leads from the tip... will this in any way alter the tone of my signal chain? noise or signal loss? Would it be better to use something that's buffered like a morley splitter?

Thanks!

Justin

I'm pretty sure that he input impedance of a tuner is so high that you'll never hear any diff if you just hardwire Y it in.
