Title: Asking about tuner
Post by: trialabc on February 24, 2010, 01:34:17 AM
I am not sure if here is the right place to ask this question. Forgive me if I am wrong.

All I have tried making is a Ruby AMP. And there is one more make use of the chip TDA2008. (Both are powered by 9V batteries)

Afterwards, I would like to add effects : Tone control circuit, Reverb, Delay... etc. But before that, it seems adding a tuner will be quite convinient. In this way, I do not need to plug out the cable to the tuner and plug the cable in the AMP after tuning.

Do anyone know how to embed a tuner to an AMP?

( Sorry if i am too aggressive to try making all things DIY. :P )

You don't need to really embed one.
99% of amps who do so, provide an output jack to let some of your signal to an external tuner, and also have a mute switch, so you can tune without annoying the audience and without plugging/unplugging.
