+1, except mine broke... I was playing and left it on the floor, stepped on it in the middle of the night... I guess it doesnt like 260 lbs on it.

You need to train your drummer with a different tool. I find it helpful upside the head with a stern "I am tunning my guitar!"
When he wakes up he will be more considerate.

The peterson one is the fastest and most sensetive that ive tried...but the planet waves micro is so cool cos its tiny, and you can leave it on your headstock 24/7. Plus ppl can bbarely see that a tuner is attached.

Is the Peterson the strobe one? I have a friend that has that one, and I don't like it much. I definitely prefer the snark.
I have a pedal tuner in my rig, so for me it's not a big deal in the band. My g/f was constantly telling our old drummer to STFU so she could tune, though.

Re: Head stock tuner
Just to add. I have 3 clip on tuners. 2 Snarks and 1 Samson tuner. For me, this is how I rank them:
Black Snark > Samson CT20 > Red Snark
The Samson is faster and feels more durable than the red snark. The only downside I saw was that when I opened the battery cover, there was a mark on the PCB that read "Cherub XXXXXX" so I'm thinking they use the Cherub PCBs and rehouse it to be sold as Samson.
The black snark is absolutely wonderful. Tight and accurate. Faster response than the Samson CT20.
Another one you should look at would be the GoGo Tuner. http://www.gogotuners.net/

Re: Head stock tuner
Just got a Korg :
Upside :
So good I got two . Small and reversible so you can hide it under the headstock behind it so it's not seen .
To get the reverse reading ( upside down from the regular view ) press the switch and hold for 10 seconds and viola !
As far as accurate , I have two other tuners in my DAW GNX4 Digitech
& my Roland GR33 guitar synthesizer module
and it's right up there with them .
Really cool to be able to tune an acoustic with everyone else playing loudly and not have any affect on the tuner's performance , a plus 1 on the cheapie KORG @ $19.95 .
Down side - -
Fragile over all ( but still sturdy ) wonder if I sit on it one night and poof .
¡ Damn thing is easy to loose sight of it's sooooooo small
!

Re: Head stock tuner
I like the Snarks, but use the Planet Waves ones. The regular and mini. They don't look as much like a bobble head on the end of my guitar. You don't notice them as much.
As for pedal tuners, I LOVE my new GoGo Pedal Tuner. The huge display is so easy to see. I'd use their clip on tuner, but I don't want something orange hanging on the end of the headstock.
