I had a TU-3 which I let go on here last year, possibly a mistake, having found it a bit bulky, and went for a fender clip-on, but that does not always work well on different guitars, it's a bit too sensitive to clip-on position.
So I'm looking for advice on whether there is a better clip on, or is it that pedals are simply the better product?
But then I would really like something smaller than the TU-3.
Just seen the sonic research ST-300 mini strobe - a compact size, but how usable is the strobe? Or going back to BOSS, how about the TU3S?
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this.

1 - It's not susceptible to vibrations from the environment (eg a bass player who won't STFU).
2 - It's also a handy kill-switch.
Also as I'm quite a thrasher on stage I hit my headstock against people alot so don't want to break a clip on. Also the mute function is very handy too.
Not that I'm obsessed.
The polymini is excellent, the others do the intended job.

FWIW, those Sonic Research tuners were very popular on Harmonycentral way back when- all the cool kids had them, and the general consensus was that they were very usable and accurate. Other stuff has come along since then- current Boss and TC tuners both have a strobe mode and similar on-paper accuracy if that's what honks your horn.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
As I'm not gigging atm I don't have one on my board, but absolutely wouldn't gig without a pedal tuner in general
there seems to be a real shortage of units right now, my local, hotrox, says that since behringer took polytune over last year, it has been a struggle, especially for the small guys, to get a supply.

Have a TC Mini on my pedalboard for my electrics.
I tend to use clip-ons on the acoustics a lot of the time. On vibration mode they aren't too sensitive to background noise. Some are better than others though. The old Intellitouch one I got when they first came out is nowhere near as good as some of the more recent ones.
