A tuner pedal is a chromatic tuner built into a pedalboard-sized stompbox that reads the signal through the cable and usually mutes the output for silent tuning on stage.

Pre-OrderAbout Tuner Pedals
A tuner pedal sits on your pedalboard, right in your signal chain, so you can check your tuning at any time with a quick tap of a footswitch. Most tuner pedals mute the output while tuning, letting you tune silently between songs, and their bright displays are far easier to read on a dark stage than a clip-on tuner. Chromatic tuning handles standard, drop and open tunings on both guitar and bass.
The range covers space-saving mini pedal tuners from Hotone, Rowin, Swiff and NUX through to the JOYO Irontune, the JF-19 buffer and tuner, and the JOYO JF-18R, which doubles as a power supply for other pedals.

Tuner Pedal FAQs
What is the difference between a tuner pedal and a clip-on tuner?
A tuner pedal reads your signal directly through the guitar cable, so it stays accurate on loud stages where a clip-on tuner can be thrown off by vibration and background noise. Most tuner pedals also mute your output while tuning, which a clip-on cannot do.
Do tuner pedals affect your guitar tone?
True bypass tuner pedals remove themselves from the signal path completely when switched off. Buffered models, like the JOYO JF-19, can actually help your tone by preserving high frequencies across long cable runs and busy pedalboards.
Where should a tuner pedal go in the signal chain?
First. Placing the tuner at the start of your chain feeds it the cleanest possible signal from your guitar, which gives the most accurate reading and lets the mute function silence everything behind it.
