| I have an ernie ball volume pedal. It has one input for guitar and one out put for amp and one output for tuner. Ineed two outputs. Could I change the tuner output jack into an amp out put? Would it work if I just switched some wires? Brian Henry |

| I am not an electronic tech but have you tried the tuner output into the amp ?? I think the output level would be the same for each output. Try it , it shouldn't cause any problem, I think !! ?? Good luck !! |

Eddie is right, but the tuner out is unaffected by the potentiometer. It's just a "through" as if you plugged straight into the tuner from the steel. I learned that by accidentally plugging a cable into that instead of the amp out. I'm not sure if you could just rewire it through the pot without doing anything else -additional resistors or something might be necessary- I don't know, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

The problem will arrise if you want to use the "tuner output" to an amp at the same time as the main output. Which presumably you want to do, otherwise why would anyone need a second "amp output".
The main problem is with impedance matching (among other things).
To avoid reiterating a whole topic there was something about this covered only a couple of weeks ago. I can't remember what the topic was call I'm afraid.

On second thought just go to Radio Shack and get a signal splitter , one male plug to two female jacks ; will give you what you want without any problems , I think ??

The tuner output is "on" even when the pedal is all the way back, so that you can tune without the sound coming through the amp.
You might have to split the "out" as suggested above.

If ya handy with a soldering iron and got enough stuff laying on the floor already....unsolder the wires going to the tuner jack at the input jack and solder em back to the output jack.Same thing as a splitter but neater..

Also...If you wanted to take the time, just get another plug, drill a hole and mount it next to the original and wire it in as a "splitter". These are just standard plugs available at Radio Shack. That way, you'd still have the tuner output intact. However, I would get a hold of a plug-in splitter and first try using it to see how your "split" output signal might be effected.

| All these various hookups are electronically equvalent, and they will change your sound to some extent. This is because they place the input of your tuner in parallel with the pickup, which changes the impedance that the pickup "sees". Now that may be a bad thing, or maybe not. |
