Tuner before or after Fuzz?

I have been making some changes to my pedal board and no longer have my volume pedal and so the tuner needs to be in-line. I have the Magnetic Effects Black Moon Fuzz and a TC Polytune. 

Should I put the volume pedal before fuzz or elsewhere in the chain?

    I have my Polytune before my fuzz.

    Tuner first - fuzzes produce lots of harmonics and shash which can confuse tuners.

    I always put fuzz first.  I thought the buffer in the tuner would mess with the fuzz (if Ge).

    Tuna first. Saying that, sometimes I put my Wah before the tuner. What a thrill.

    Same here, and turn the fuzz off to tune.
