Re: How do you feel about tuning pedals
I use the Boss...it's cheep, works pretty damn well, if ti were to break I can get another one anywhere, plus when Im on stage I don't have to bother the crowd tuning my guitar!

Re: How do you feel about tuning pedals
I use my Boss Tu-2 Pedal Tuner...this thing is GREAT...I absolutely love it..and I think every guitarist should have one at their feet. If I didn't have it, I'd probably get like a Boss TU-12 and hook it up to the tuner out of my volume pedal, but I love the TU-2...and every guitarist needs one

Re: How do you feel about tuning pedals
A guitar tuner built into a pedal so you can have it on the floor in front of you at a gig.
I've been gigging with a Boss TU-2 for over 3 years now and it does the job excellently. It has a clear display that's easy to read in any lighting conditions, it has seven tuning modes (guitar, flat guitar, double flat guitar, bass, flat bass, double flat bass, chromatic), the battery (if you use it on battery) lasts for ages, it does silent tuning, and it's compact and sturdy (the standard Boss pedal format). I don't notice any degradation in tone having it between my guitar and amp. It fully meets my needs and I don't see me needing to buy another tuner.

Re: How do you feel about tuning pedals
i use a boss tu-2 also and it's great quick and easy to use and see...i'd be lost without it there. plus since it goes into a bypass mode when you step on it and cuts the sound off from the amp it makes a great kill switch so to speak for certain songs where you need dead silence in a certain area.

Re: How do you feel about tuning pedals
also makes a great kill switch for changing guitars...I recommend all guitar players/electric stringed instrument (banjo, violin, etc) players in bands to have one of these!

Re: How do you feel about tuning pedals
I use the tuner built in to my Magic Stomp. I used to use an Akai but I don't have room for it on my current (compact) board. The Peterson tuners are da bomb. They're 30x more accurate than any of the other tuners mentioned in this thread. I use one of their non-pedal units for setting intonation and tuning in "critical" situations such as recording.

To me, the TU-2 is most useful for it's ability to chain power to other pedals. If it weren't for that feature, I wouldn't see any purpose to it at all.
