Recommended tuners... for setting up guitar and bass (self.guitars)

I'm working on setting up my dusted-off guitar and bass and for intonation I need a better quality tuner then the Korg GT-3 I have. Which ones will help with the intonation? One that shows how much any note is off, not just the one of the open string.

Highly recommend Peterson StroboStomp. Precise, easy to read and responsive.

Can't go back to using anything else after getting it.

Can confirm StroboStomp is responsive and accurate. I also have the clip on version. This is probably as accurate but is more prone to spin out, but can easily be used with acoustics.

Only thing I’d say against the StroboStomp is that the jack socket is tight and wouldn’t accept my Boss jack plugs.

Can you tune an acoustic guitar with it as well? As I have both electric and acoustic, that would be perfect.

It's a pedal taking electronic input. You'd have to capture the acoustic sound and feed the signal through it.

Then I guess I'll be better off with something else, but I'll keep it in mind. There seems to be an app that kinda works the same way. I could use that for the acoustic ones. (or keep the GT-3 for that)
