Topic: What your Opinion about Tuner pedals who makes the best one?

I am needing a tuner pedal that I can mute when we play out.  I'm not concerned about anything except muting the volume to tune the guitar so if its not true bypass I can live with that.  I've got $100 budget for this that I'm planning on buying it next week.

The Turbo Tuner is the best tuner available.

Ok, so what makes a Turbo Tuner better then the Korg or the Poly Tune?  Right now I'm leaning towards the Korg Pitchblack+ because of its huge screen and the fact that American Music Supply sells them for $69 new.

Is it plastic housed or metal?

A report on durability would be cool. I toss all my pedals into a dufflebag that gets tossed around quite a bit.

After reading this Nic, it occurred to me you might make use of one of the cloth wine 6pack carriers I get free when buying 6 at the local store. individual compartments bottle sized that surely would fit a pedal and a soft cloth to protect them that could be rolled up.

I can't believe no one mentioned the peterson strobe. More expensive but if your serious worth every penny.

Re: What your Opinion about Tuner pedals who makes the best one?

I was at a $100 price point the reason nobody suggested the peterson strobe.  As for the casing of the Korg I can't say because I don't have it yet.  It looks like a cast aluminum casing with a black finish.  They have a chrome body of the same thing that costs $130.  Everywhere else has this pedal listed for $100.  I'm not too crazy about the size foot print this thing will have but its ok.
