Headstock Tuners

[sblueplanet]

Does anyone have any insight into purchasing a headstock tuner? I've never used one so is there a particular model, are they are as accurate, etc.

Two here that I've used and liked:

Accurate, easy to use and not too heavy on batteries. The Korg Pitchclip is a one-button job which is way less confusing at gigs! Best to leave them on during your performance though, I'm forever losing mine.

I've got an amp with a built-in tuner now, which frankly is a bit of a relief.

I absolitely love this. Super efficient and easier than wasting space on a pedal tuner. I have that same DAddario one linked above I think, maybe an older version.

Purchased a Boston BTU-150. Goes green when in tune, red when flat and orange when sharp. Auto cut-off when not in use or when unclipped. Simples!

I found most to be a false economy - yes they're cheap to buy but the replacement batteries make them financially nonviable long term. Get something you can daisy chain.

If you don't otherwise have pedals it's annoying to go to the trouble of having one just for tuning. If you already have pedals, and a power supply, then it's not much extra faff. The Korg Pitchclip is the easiest clip-on I've found so far, and it's very good on batteries compared with the D'Addaro/Planet Waves tuners.

Get a TC Polytune, it is by far the best I've used, beats the cheap Snarks and even the expensive Peterson Stroboclip

This is what I do.

I've got this tiny one in permanent situ on my fretless Precision. So small, light and accurate it's amazing.
No flies on my intonation now either!

TC Polytune is by far the best I've ever used.

Yes they keep them warm and ward off any temperature related tuning issues
