When I was back there in seminary school, there was a person there who put forth the proposition that you can power other pedals from a tuner. Power other pedals from a tuner. [sarcastic] Power other pedals from a tuner. [/sarcastic]
[Screaming] You cannot power other pedals from a tuner!
[/sorry, pet peeve….]
You can't "power" any other pedals from a tuner. All the pedals like this simply have a 'through' power socket for daisy-chaining - the *power supply* is what powers the other pedals. You can power as many other pedals as the power supply can, less the draw of the tuner. It's exactly the same as if you use a standard daisy-chain with the tuner on one of the leads.

I think the Boss is great, never used the polytune pedal though, only the app
I just don't like their pedals.

I also dislike the TC tuners- I've not had a switch break but the multi string sensing stuff is less accurate than doing it one string at once.
I have a TC one on my board because it takes up sod all room- why do the Boss ones have to be so massive?

A tuner that has no button to mute the signal to your amp so everyone can hear you tuning up.

I would be powering it from one of the 500mA points on a Strymon Ojai and daisy chaining the drives from the tuner. My only thought was whether doing this might cause some kind of unwanted digital noise, e.g. like the noise you get if you daisy-chain analogue and digital pedals.

My tuner is built in, i prefer it that way.
I have one of the original polytunes, it's great. It's one of those things I useall the time without thinking about it. Between every song I give a quick strum without thinking about it then tune the single strings as needed. Iam conscious the switch may not last forever, but it's payed for itself many times over already.
I have Polytune mini, which does the job. I have it connected to the tuner out on my Lehle volume, and use the volume pedal to mute. I agree with other posters that the multi-string mode is essentially useless but I'm ok with that. The Boss one above just looks weird, like it's had a limb amputated, and I couldn't stand not being able to switch it off. Having said that, I do miss the 'strobe' mode of the original Polytune. Does the Boss do anything similar?
