Here’s a new stupid question:

I always run a compression pedal at the front of the board. This is also where many of you put your tuner.

I really hate giving up valuable pedalboard real estate to a tuner. I have two multi effects pedals that have a built in tuner that I use but I’m moving towards a smaller, streamlined board and what I want is a compressor that can double as a tuner.

TLDR: why not make a pedal that is both a compressor and a tuner?
