I've got one on my pedal board and a clip on Korg thing in my bag for emergencies. Failing that? iPhone!
:-O
Kids today don't know how lucky they are with the cheap accurate stuff available nowadays.
I have a similar model to yours, a JHS GT1000 that cost £20 in the '80's.
A wonderful revelation after relying on tuning forks and pitch pipes previously.
This is it (not my pic though)

Demonstrates the inexperience of the musicians too unfortunately.
There's just no excuse for not being in tune.
If you can't do it by ear either because your ear for pitch isn't up to it or because of background noise, buy a tuner!
I have a reasonable ear so in a reasonably quiet environment I can tune by ear, no problem. But at a gig, with lots of background noise and not wanting to inflict my tuning noise on the audience, a tuners vital.
I don't understand why so many players just don't bother.
Noise, randomness, ballistic uncertainty.
tbh, I don't see the problem with tuning up on stage, orchestras do it. But someone else said to me the punters turn up to hear you play the music they don't pay to hear you tune up.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
poor bastards.

I carry a Korg plug-in tuner to Jam nights, I know my guitars stay in tune pretty well anyway. So for a 3-song set no problems.
On the board (when I can be arsed to put it back together) or if I ever gig (not likely anytime soon) I have a Boss TU-3 which would be on the board, No Question about it.
