Pedal tuners!

timmysoft

Whatcha using and why?! I've just got the Snark one, it's ever good. Much prefer it over the pitch black and polytunes that I've owned before. Really nice display and the pedal itself is a very pedal board friendly size.

Over the years have been through TU-2, pitchblack, Tc polytune mini, and have too ended up with the snark, it's my favourite of the bunch for sure.

Picked up a TU-2 cheap and does just what I want.

It also acts as a buffer for the rest of my signal.

Not really interested in the newer polyphonic tuning tech.

I Just want something that's simple and accurate.

I've got a pitchblack these days for the rock n roll board. Works fine, I suppose and was pretty cheap. The mute is the handiest thing since I sold my volume pedal. I probably use it more for the mute than the tune function.

For my jazz setup I use a clip on - either a snark or a korg one, depending on whichever I find first, although I do prefer the snark. Obviously if I'm playing with an acoustic piano I just tune to that.

Pitch Black works fine for me.

Just bought a Polytune Mini to save space on my board.  Pleased with it so far.  Have a TU3 surplus if anyone is interested.

Used to use a tu2 and that was great. Ran out of space on my board so I'm now using the built in tuner on the zoom ms70cdr. Works fine..

Used a TU-2 for years, then got a Polytune Mini. I still have that but my gigging board now has a TU-3 (I needed the buffer). Does the job perfectly.

I use a polyphonic pitchblack and to be honest I miss my old trusty tu2.  My eyesight is failing and I'm struggling to see the end of my cock let alone tuning on the floor via a tiny screen.

Had a Korg DT10 for years and it was perfect bit a smaller board meant I swapped it for a Polytune Mini. That didn't last long so now I have a good old TU2.

Lately, I've had a Korg Pitchblack (excellent), Hardwire HT-6 (good but huge, but the display is a bit unclear in daylight) and currently have the Polytune Mini. The Mini's pretty damn good - stable tuning, does exactly what it says on the tin - but it's noisy. All sorts of digital rushing/popping sounds while it's active if your amp's set to a gain-y tone when you're tuning.

I've noticed that polyphonic tuners tend to be more accurate and faster to respond if you roll the volume off on the guitar a bit and switch to the neck pickup (this is actually recommended in the HT-6 manual).

I've got three or four TU-2s -- just very cheap to come by so I leave one in the rehearsal room, one by my home practice amp, one as a paperweight and so on.

The poly Hardwire HT-6 was really good until it died.

Then I wanted to go back to old skool and got a TU-3.  It's noticeably faster than the TU-2; somewhat easier to read too.  And super easy to tell it that you're using a different tuning.

Same here, I have the poly model.

I think we have 5 DT10s - in various finishes - having used them for at least 10 years I haven't found anything easier, quicker or more stable to use. Having said that I now have Polytune minis on both pedalboards just for size.

I have a TU-2. If it ever conks out, I shall get a TU-3.

I've got a TU-3. It's a really good, easy to use tuner. It's difficult to say more as it just works.

TU-3 has an excellent bright mode that is a lifesaver if you find yourself gigging outdoors in daylight

The DT-10 is clear, solid, not twitchy, and has a decent buffer - actually if space were not a factor I'd have gone back to one 

On a mini-board the Polytune Mini is fab.

Peterson strobo stomp until I got the Turbo Tune. .
Totally satisfied with its performance.

Pitchblack +, the dual input was the winner for me.

I like to leave my tuner permanently on, and mute via my volume pedal which is further along in my chain when needed.

I have a Hardwire Tuner and a Boss TU3. IMO both are good but the Boss is slightly more compact and I feel like it tracks slightly faster.  I'd go Boss personally unless the buffer is an issue.
