Using an out of a reverb pedal to tuner

Any problem using an out of a reverb pedal to tuner?
It's a Boss RV-3.
Output A to the Amp
Output B to the tuner

Generally, I find tuners work with the cleanest possible signal. The other thing to consider is that, like many stereo effects, the RV-3 gives a mono feed if you use one output (A) and stereo if they are both connected. If one channel is going to the tuner you may find you are getting half of a stereo feed going to your amp. That may or may not make a difference to the sound.

But it won't cause actual damage so give it a try and see if it works for you

I did forget that it may cause a stereo output from the pedal.
It does seem to be working OK though.
Thanks for the help!

Depending on the brand and model of unit, I find that placing a tuner anywhere in the signal chain almost always has some effect on your tone to one degree or another. If you prefer to have it remain on, running it separately from the second output of your volume pedal may yield better results.

That's a good idea too, David.
Thank you
