recommended guitar tuner?
Searched and there's no threads on which tuner to buy. I need a tuner, what do you recommend for no more than like $40-$50 max.

you can probably find a boss tu-2 for about $50 used.

does it matter whether its a pedal tuner or not? If not, any thing by korg should do you just fine.

i wouldnt reccommend a boss tu2... it doesnt have a true bypass... which means it has the potential to scrape out a bit of your tone even when its not engaged... and if you're a purist, or anal retentive like me, you probably wont like that. Planet waves just made a pedal tuner thats pretty similar to the boss tu2, but it has true bypass, looks prettier (imo), and is usually around 20$ cheaper.

I use a cheap little $15 Korg GA-30. It's not a pedal tuner, but it more than gets the job done.

Defo get a korg. Maybe a Ga-30 or something along the lines of that, but you shud really learn to tune it by ear

alot of people wont hear the difference. and if that's the case, don't worry about it.
i however can usually tell the difference between a tuner being in my signal chain and one not being there. tuners in general are notorious for sucking tone. so i keep my tuners out of the signal chain by feeding it a split off dead end signal. for example an ernie ball passive volume has an input, a regular output, and a tuner/aux out specifically for this. so the tuner hears your guitar, but since it's out of the chain, you don't hear the tuner. otherwise i just unplug my guitar from my pedalboard and plug it into a rack tuner. it takes like 5 seconds longer. 
i havent used the planet waves tuner, so i can't comment on how good of a tuner it actually is. nor on it's tone sucking issues(or lack there of). but i know the tu-2 is a good tuner and thats that.

I've had my Boss TU-2 for a few years now, and it's great. It's pretty rugged.. has taken some cosmetic hits, but it still works perfectly. Also, it works as a power supply for a chain of other pedals if you have them, so it's very nice to have.
