Why would anyone buy a tuner pedal instead of using a clip on

The one reason I can think of for going with the former is to maybe not disrupt stage banter between songs when your gigging (if your in the type of band that dies that), or to cancel out the sound of disconnecting the 1/4 inch jack when switching guitars

Good luck with your clip on when it flies off, beans a chick in the third row and you get sued, mate.

Plus pedals are generally more accurate and have more modes/settings.

I actually need to buy one but I'm a cheap motherfucker, I've been tuning with my phone for ages now.

I dont play in a band, so both of these aren't really valid points. Thanks though!

Peterson do a version of their strobe tuner (accurate af) as a phone app. Supposed to be pretty good

If you're playing live it will kill any output from you amp for you without having to think about fiddling with knobs on your guitar. It's just quick step on the pedal, tune your shit, step on the pedal, jump into the next song

to use on stage

I use mine at the end of my chain as a kill switch and they're more accurate and harder to lose

if you have a pedal board with power source you don't have to keep buying batteries

>i dont play in a band

well then expect more music/gear related things to not make sense to you

I don't know which one that is, but the one that I don't use is the Fender app, that one is terrible.

I use another one but I can't remember the name of it, it even tells whether notes are C2 or C3, or example, and can adjust for individual frequencies.

I have the Peterson app and it's great. You can use hertz, cents, or midi to read what pitch your string is at. The hz readout is super useful for intonation, and very accurate, especially when you plug the guitar into the phone directly with one of those plug things. When playing normally, I usually just use the phones mic which works good enough.

you can literally check fix intonation with a $5 clip-on tuner. i just did last week and my guitar sounds perfect

do you have autismo?

I just don't really see the point. My guitar doesn't ever go out of tune and if I tune it before bringing it on stage then I don't need to re-tune it there. And for stuff written in another tuning I have another guitar I can just bring.
