best guitar tuner
Discussion
Good choice of name.
If you want to do funny tunings then get one that tunes each note rather that only tunes each each string. Mine only does EADGBE and detuning in semitone steps based around those notes. I can't go to open D with it for example, or even go to dropped D without pressing buttons in the middle of tuning. Annoying.

I just bought the cheapest chromatic tuner (a QuikTune QT12 at ~£15) in my local shop and I'm perfectly happy with it - easy to use, clear display (not backlit but I didn't buy it for stage use so it's not a problem), works equally well with the built-in microphone or plugged in, has resisted being bounced off the floor a few times, the batteries last for ages, and generally just does exactly what it says on the tin.
I'm not convinced there's any point paying a lot of money for a tuner unless you want specific features (e.g backlit display, rack mounting, pedal format with silent tune, etc, etc, etc) or really need the accuracy of a full-on professional strobe unit - even the cheapest of the cheap seem to work pretty well.
