Recommend a great non-pedal tuner for +/- $50?

Boring topic, tuners, but I'm ready to throw my old boss tuner out the window, doesn't register my signal any more. Anyone have a nice, sturdy tuner they like that has line in (plug in the guitar) capability and is not a pedal? Thanks.

I haven't tried to use it yet but I just bought a korg pitchJACK today as my other small cheap tuner bit the dust recently.

Upon leaving the store I thought it might work to just plug it into my tuner jack on my VP as well.

it cost $25 I think.

we'll find out how well it works tomorrow.

love my Korg GA-30. 20 bucks and +/- 1 cent, can't beat it. Good luck seeing it on a dark stage, though

Raise your price a little....$129 for a tuner that is PERFECT on pitch...
True bypass, and accurate to .02 (I have to be careful here, I made a mistake before comparing this to a Strobostomp, which up to now has been my favorite) of a cent. Allows "your own tuning"


Well...I'll just copy their text:

• A True Strobe Tuner in a Stompbox Format
• True bypass
• Muted output
• Chromatic and guitar/bass modes
• Fully programmable for alternate tunings and temperaments
• Extreme accuracy: ±.02 cents guaranteed
• Rugged die-cast aluminum case
• $129.99
• Made in USA

up to now I have been a Petersen Strobostomp fan, but someone here turned me onto this tuner...I just sent my order in for two of them actually, and from Youtube video shootouts, I think it is even better.

Personally, tuning and tuners I think are worth more than 50 bucks...but I can't help you if you insist on staying below that number. I'm sold on this tuner, and have never tried it so far...

When I was in undergrad, my local shop had TU-12's that were decades old that they have used for setups over the years. So you know they're built to last. Definitely worth the investment.

oh yea and +1000 on the A440 tuning fork. it will help train you ear and make you not depend on electric tuners.
