Best clip on tuner?

[tjclem]

Mine is many years old I am hoping technology has improved. What does everybody like?

Peterson StroboClip HD or HDC

I typically do not use clip ons, but these are by far best ones I have tried.

I have 2 that I really like over all of the others I've owned.

TC Unitune. Works great with low B and bright enough to see outside. IME They all work better clipped close to the nut instead of out on the headstock.

I like my TC Polytune when I'm not using a pedal tuner.

i've never had an issue with any of them (korg, peterson, snark, etc.).

but i like this one because i don't have to remove it when i put my axes in gig bags (and the 'discreet' profile):

After my 1rst electronic tuner was the Korg credit card style. It worked fine for a decade until I gave it to my grandson when he started guitar lessons.
Next 2 were a freebie door prize clip on from a Guitar Center opening that crapped out on me. Next was a little Fender clip on that just barely worked.
Last year I got a Snark.. works great!

another vote for the TC Polytune. Works well, seems quite accurate when tested against other tuners and runs a long time on its battery.

What he said! My favorite as well for the same reason.

I have the Peterson one, and it's great!

 

[pyrat56host]

Peterson is only one I have ever used that doesn't make me want to throw it. Excellent~

I have the Peterson hdc but it struggles to catch notes on the b string if you're using a 5'r.

TC Unitune is my fav, although they seem to be back ordered everywhere

I use the TC Polytune as well and concur with it's accuracy, speed, and battery life. I also really like the low profile when not in use. When folded back after tuning, it doesn't stick out like other clip-ons.

Thanks all I ordered a Peterson

I prefer to use a pedal, but recently bought a rechargeable snark. It works fine.

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

The Polytune Clip works well for me.

Sounds like you got what you needed but, I'll add another vote for the Peterson. I've owned all the tuners and I stopped trying other types once I got Peterson tuners. Some may be just as accurate but it more than that, the strobe tuning is just the easiest and fastest thing to visualize and adjust to. With other tuners I feel like I'm playing a video game and chasing something. I think you'll be happy with your choice.

My poly tune crapped out. New battery, full reset, and still does not work?
