Freeloader Tuner Out to Harmonizer?

Post by Dennis Detweiler »

Does anyone know if the tuner output jack on the Freeloader can be used as a signal to operate the chord changes on a vocal harmonizer? I need to patch my steel pickup into a vocal harmonizer on the other side of the stage. It will require about 15 feet of guitar chord to get from the Freeloader to the harmonizer pedal. The bass player is using the harmonizer. The harmonizer needs to hear a chord to function properly. Bass notes won't do it effectively. Has anyone tried this yet?

I use a vocal harmonizer (tc helicon play acoustic)
I would expect the tuner output would work fine, main thing is to play complete chords.
