    Default Clip on tuner

    I am wanting to get myself a clip-on tuner for my acoustic for when I'm not using my pedal board. I know there are lots on the market but I don't really know which ones are good. Can anyone recommend one?

    I have the planet waves one. It's ok, but a bit slow, and doesn't register the low E very well on my Taylor. But for the £10 or so I paid I can't really complain

    I've got a couple, but the best is the Snark SN-2 - cheap and fantastic.

    Don't leave it on the head if your guitar has a nitro finish though - it will mark.

    Cruiser is great, it's sensitive enough to use for intonation also includes chromatic, bass etc. we even stick it on the trombone to checks notes.. I'd be lost without it.

    However when it starts running out of battery it's useless.

    Don't even know what make mine is.. Goes and looks... Intelli, apparently.. Cheapest I could find at the time - works fine - nice and simple.. They're dearer than the Snark ones, by the look of it.. If I were looking now, I'd buy the Snark!

    The basic twelve quid Fender one does the job for me, although the display can be difficult to read if it isn't angled correctly.
    Fender 1997 California Series Strat, Fender CP 50s Strat, Fender 50th Anniversary MIJ '52 Tele, Fender Std Tele (being refinished)
    All through a VOX VT20+, stomp boxes = redundant.

    I have the Intelli one and the Snark. Snark is definitely better but battery doesn't last as long.
