Yeah, the Snark is good, I usually use that with my acoustic guitars. I also use a Polytune 3 which is the first thing in my signal chain for electric or bass.

I've never had good results with tuning apps on my phone. Usually because of background noise - which is where the Snark shines, working through vibration!
- dehrmann 5y agoSecond on the Snark because it uses vibrations. It'll tune an unplugged electric guitar.
- vr46 5y agoI found that my Snarks kept getting eaten by the dog so downvotes for making a dog-friendly tuner. I now have a strobe clip-on tuner that does ‘sweetened’ tuning and that aside, it’s much easier to read and apparently does not taste good to the dog.
- Gravityloss 5y agoI used to have the tuner pedal early in the chain, but recently I've found it more useful as last pedal. That way I can troubleshoot my signal chain without the amp being on / audience hearing noises. Might not work for everyone.
- Joeboy 5y agoI like my Snark, but I'm a bit troubled by the instructions saying not to leave it on any instrument with a polyurethane finish, which I think is most guitars. Not sure how much I should worry about that.
- ratww 5y agoFunny, I have a similar tuner that is permanently attached to both poly and (significantly more fragile) nitro guitars, and never saw anything of the sort happen. Also I thought poly was virtually indestructible, those guitars never age... If you want something permanent, I can recommend a D'addario. They can attach to the tuner screw and won't be in conctact with the wood.
