have a look at the Sonic Research turbo Tuner - the ST200. It is the ONLY true bypass strobe tuner under £100 - so around $130 it SHOULD be.

If you're having the tuner inline for guitars then stay well away from ANYTHING boss. Fine for playing live - but in tone critical situation you need a true bypass tuner. If you're going rack mount - try and get it switched on something like a Lehle. No point in having £2k worth of amp and a similar priced guitar if you're goin to shove it through a 10penny opamp . Get it true bypass....the only choice in your price range is the Turbo Tuner ST-200.

They are pretty much as good as a Petersen - certainly as accurate and fast - yet dont cost $400 {the stomp pedals tuners}. EDIT - i stand corrected .... the strobo stomp comes in at $188. Good buy that. I'd still get the ST200. Cheaper and the same !!
