Acoustic tuners?

The white one is the most frustrating little piece of equipment I've ever purchased. Save yourself the trouble and don't buy one. They cut way too many corners in making this one cheaper, in my opinion.

The black one, on the other hand, is a worthy investment. I've had no troubles at all with this one, only that in dark stage environments, it can be hard to read.

My preference is the Tony Rice method...tuning fork and ears .

In a jam, noise etc., I use an Intellitouch even though it's not that accurate. I've been thinking about changing to an Intelli, but I need to try one to see how accurate they are (lots of the acoustic crowd where I live have these now).

Anyone use the Peterson Strobo Flip or Strobostomp 2? Does the Strobostomp 2 DI work very well?

Turbo Tuner. More accurate than a Peterson, cheaper, and smaller. Fits easily in my case. Can't recommend enough! http://www.turbo-tuner.com

+1 Turbo Tuner - I can't recommend it highly enough. Works just as well on my electrics too.

The Turbo Tuner is truly excellent. Cheaper, smaller, lighter, and also easier to use and FASTER!

Peterson Srotoboflip. The built-in mic is great, the accuracy is unparalleled, and the sweetened tunings are like the cake under the icing.

I just went through this myself. I purchased the Black Intelitouch and the Planet Waves SOS. They're both going back to the store today. The Intelitouch has trouble deciphering what pitch you're at and the SOS, while accurate, won't tune your guitar if you like to tune in any thing other than standard tuning. I like to tune down a full step. I also have a Boss TU-2 which is better than both of them but if you don't have a pickup in your guitar then you're screwed.

I agree with gtr777. I love my SOS tuner more everyday. It's always in my pocket and I've never been more accurately in tune. I lost one and went and got another right away. True, it's good only for standard tuning, but that's all I use. (except for my 12 string, but that's a whole other thing!) 15 bucks! Ya can't go wrong!
