I bought a tuner pedal a while back, its a Cerub PT5 like THIS.
Its powered off the AC/DC power brick
Every Overdrive pedal i use after it sounds noisy, with a really really loud hissing noise even with the guitar turned to zero. I use the signal output jack (not bypass) so when i tune up it is'nt audible.
I've tried a Dod 308, Line 6 Crunchtone and EHX Double Muff.
What position do youse guys place you Tuner on the pedal board and has anyone else had these problems.

I always put my tuner first, never had that issue before - I guess it goes away if it's powered from a seperate source?

slightly off topic, but does it matter where about in the chain the tuner is? mines always at the end. the tonebender works best as the first pedal, as it's a germanium fuzz. the tonebender also hates wah pedals lol.

Yeah you can get all sorts of weird effects between Wah pedals and old Fuzzes. Some good, some not so good.

with the wah, you turn it on and it's the same on as in bypass lol.

The tuner is producing loads of hiss, and the overdrives are amplifying it. get rid.
