Never go anywhere without your strapon :thumb:

Seriously, I only use a clip-on tuner at home. At band practice or gigging, having the option to silent tune and have the tuner act as a kill switch for your rig is worth the extra $$$.

recently got the kork pitchclip for my acoustic
it kinda blows
wierdest thing happened
its got a basic LED readout for notes
and red LEDs in an arc above you know basic tuner
so i turn it on the other day
the LED readout is flipped over now
so the note letters are upside down
read correct, korg is upside down and arc on bottom
besides that anomoly its not consistant
had a cheap fender one that worked OK
better than an iphone tuner app for sure
but kinda sucks for electric

I drone out of tune all the time by bending the strings. And by playing like shit.

Sometimes I put the tuner on my cock too. You know to make sure it's working right.

Well... In my dream band that's what's happening. In real life it's normally the other guitar player trying to be Stevie Ray Vaughn and me being like "I guess I'll just make sure I'm in tune."

tis a strap-on for your guitar, nothing more.

tuners belong on the fucking floor, not protruding like some dildonics from your precious headstock.
so much gear...
