Tuner pedal

A couple of things that I really like about the Boss TU tuners (and indeed, all their pedals) is that the foot switch is (a) big and (b) really quiet. There might be tuners out there that track faster, but given that my TU-3 tracks fast enough for me I’m not looking for alternatives since that switch is so quiet and comfy. Once I’m tuned up, my main use of the pedal is muting so for me a quiet switch is more important to me that raw tracking speed.
 
About the Sonic Research Turbo Tuner: The full size version of the pedal can be set to pass the signal out while in tuning mode (by use of an internal switch), but the Mini version of the pedal can't be set that way and will always mute the signal.
