Looking for live us suggestions on the pedalboard.

I've used the Korg PB for years and noticed some new competition out there. Who has tried these and compared them? What is/was your verdict? Looking for 1) accuracy, 2) display, 3) true bypass, and 4) capability to tune on the fly rather than muted or having this option (not really that important). 5) honorable mention feature: polytune and live to see what's maybe out of tune on the fly.

-Korg Pitchblack (regular, Advance, Custom)

-TC Polytune 3

-SR Turbo Tuner

-Gogo Tuners the Caliber

My Korg PB is 5 years old and I’m noticing it’s not tracking fast. It’s taking a few seconds to “recalibrate” between strings tunings and it’s kind of a hold up.

Cheers!
 
Just got a Korg PB Rack unit and love it....Works great with bass and guitar!
 
I have a Polytune and have since removed it from my chain in favor of using the Fender tuner app. It's awesome and more accurate than any pedal tuner I've ever used.

Thanks, man. I’ve edited my post as I’m looking for pedal units.

I’ll check out the Fender for at home, though. Cheers!
 
Ill never use anything but the tuebo tuner. Jist sold mine from 2010 to buy the updated mini version.
 
I'm still a fan of Peterson tuners. Maybe I am old school?
 
I’ve also had the Korg PB for years.
I’m actually kind of in the same boat, and have been looking around.
The boss WAZA tu3 has caught my attention.
Looking forward to hearing some opinions!

Oh ok sure no problem. I like the app because I always have my phone on me, and using the app instead means one less thing in my pedal chain. Plus like I said, my guitars haven't sounded better and more accurately tuned since using the free Fender app. YMMV...
 
Had a Boss then a Peterson Strobostomp and eventually got a turbo (regular and mini for different boards). They simply are the best. Super fast and accurate. The other guitarist in my band has a Boss and it takes way longer to get to the point. It's like dial up vs broadband. There's no going back. If you're a pro and need to tune fast between songs (or during a song) there's nothing better than the Turbo. YouTube is a great resource also.

The Shure GLX-D for my wireless setup has a built in tuner that works pretty good too.
 
I've had several from what you listed. Turbo is the best. Still have it, no need to look at anything else.
 
Got Turbo turner years ago and haven’t looked back.
 
The tc polytune works fine for me, I have a JHS buffer that splits the signal out so the polytune is out of the path and always has a signal. Works pretty well.
