boss tuner - fix for a common problem

[chillhuman]

I just wanted to get this out there for anyone who might be having the same problem - My tuner recently developed a short - the same problem I have had in a previous boss tuner - when I got the back off and dropped the board down, it turns out that there is a thin metal shield around the input jack. Mine has started to come undone as the input jack started coming loose. This was creating a short, which was fixed by kicking the unit, from time to time. I used a twist tie to pull the flaps back to the sides of the jack, tightened up the jack, and now it works fine again. Hopefully this helps someone else stay in tune w/out buying a new tuner!

I noticed that little "hood" in my TU-2, must be to try and shield the hi impedance input from little digital chirps getting picked up if you use it with the bypass jack that doesn't mute the signal when the tuner is on. 

Weird little fact, the TU-2 uses 6x more power when its on then when it is bypassed, must have a shutdown mode for all the digital stuff.
