The Micro Crush does sound hilariously awful…

How about the Fender G Dec 30...yes, I have one in the classified LOL
Worth checking out the YT demos...the tuner is on the screen face front & is a sliding scale line 60/40/20/0/20/40/60 sort of thing....plenty of amp/effects tones of use it with the FUSE software and use the tuner on the laptop. It also has the SD card and aux in for playing other devices/music through. Small footprint, very easy to carry. Very under rated practice amp if you ask me. At 30w it can go loud enough too should you wanna test something at higher volume.
Have original box etc. It is in as new condition & does look like a typical Fender amp so not a monstrosity etc
If you wanna know more pm yr email addy & I'll send pics/info etc
It's great for listening to music through using the aux too.
My 'stuck record' suggestion for an amplifier is a Pignose. Absolutely no frills, the Pignose will reveal the difference between pickups very clearly.

Moderate quality tuner (can you afford a cheap Korg Pitchblack or similar large display?) wired to a VERY cheap amp of any kind, then put them both on a wall mount or shelf with one curly guitar cable hanging down.
I'm sure you could DIY something like the above.
I'm suggesting this because you did say the tuner was more important than the amp sound quality...
If the tuner is more important then the amp, you will need to get separate items.
I have a THR, the tuner is okay but I wouldn't ever use it for assembly or set-up work. Its a close enough for rock and roll kinda tuner. I have a person stroboflip and its a whole different league. Sometimes I change from the Peterson to the THR for a reality check, the Peterson's accuracy can be distracting if you have a guitar that won't quite intonate perfectly.
The phone suggestion is a good one. I purchased the stroboflip a week before they released the App version at 1/20th the price

iRig 2 looks like the best option? There's loads of choices for iPhone, but very few that support Android.
Is it possible to get the device thing, which looks incredibly simple, for less? Loads of eBay sellers in China sell replacement adapters - but they're all iPhone.
A lot of paying for iRig 2 appears to be the software, I only really need the device.
Reviews are very mixed, but it appears to be the only even half decent option for Android devices, so we shall wait and see.
That's actually exactly what I do - I use the TC Polytune app on the iPhone, although they don't do an Android one... but if there's a Peterson one I'd get that. I just keep the phone on the workbench and it picks up perfectly well from the old Peavey Special amp behind me.

Has anyone got an old iPhone they're willing to sell me? Cheap as possible really, thanks.
I'll feedback on the quality of the tuner and apps etc.
