MusicRadar’s verdict:

“The humble tuner has seen a resurgence in column inches of late thanks in part to TC Electronic’s ‘revolutionary multi-string tuner’ PolyTune pedal, and Boss’s own update of a classic: the TU-3. This seemingly simple yet hugely significant technological ‘stomp’ forward is bound to make an appearance on guitarists’ pedalboards the world over but, for now at least, the Boss TU-2 reigns supreme. Everyone has one, and we can’t live without it.”

Your votes:

“TU-2 as a given...” (Thanks, noisepolluter)

“I'd probably go for the TU-2, every player should be in tune :)” (Thanks, Cass)

“Live it’s got to be the TU-2 hands down because as everyone here has said it keeps me in tune!” (Thanks, d.am)

“Boss TU-2 is the essential stompbox.” (Thanks, Grunfeld.)

“Yes, Boss TU-2 tuner. Keeps me in tune, allows me to mute when changing guitars or just in between numbers. Everything else comes and goes.” (Thanks, erictheweary)

“Boss TU if I'm being boring.” (Thanks, jim222)

“Boss Tuner - the only one you need really. That and a decent amp!” (Thanks, juleskahuna)

“Gonna have to be boring and say my Boss tuner pedal. Essential for maintaining pitch during a gig. I find I rely more on the amp or onboard EQ to colour my sound.” (Thanks, tenstrings)
