Tuners

Any recommendations other than the D'Addario?

I can't hear 2 or even 5 cents off and that's with pure sine waves, so 0.1 accuracy means fuck all with an actual fretted instrument.
So choose the one that suits your pedalboard, tuning habits (live situations, etc.) and EYES.
I love my trusty old TU-3 even though it's like 2-3 cents off.

Having used an old Peterson strobe ( real strobe) for years I am super picky. The first thing I will say is the new Peterson pedals are no way a replacement and not particularly in tune to my ears. I find most tuners to sound a shade off with one exception. The Turbo Tuner, it sounds sweet and right. It also is 5x tighter tolerances than the Peterson pedal. The boss sounds like ass and the rest are in the middle. Live it doesn’t matter much but for intonation and setup the Turbo is the best option by a mile.
 
I go between the Turbo, Strobo Stomp and a Polytune (namely clip ons). The Turbo is a lifesaver for setups and recording, but the Strobo Stomp display is fantastic for gigging.
