Question: Anyone know of a rechargeable tuner pedal?

Alternatively, you could make the power cord have a Y. Cut power cord at female end plus 6 inches. Cut an extension cord at female end plus 6 inches, Strip wires. Solder both ends of power cord and extension cord together, Wrap the shit out of it with electrical tape. Plug wall wart into extension cord.

I bought one of these. It’s a 3 prong Y adapter for US power. This one is made by 1-Spot for their Truetone power supply system, but it fits the AC In on the back of an amp.

Perhaps, something similar is available in the UK.

Speaking of smartphones, have you ever tried an tuner app on your phone? I have no idea how good or horrible they are, I've just seen other people using them. And you couldn't do it completely silent so the phone can hear it.

I've had bad experience with smartphones near my amps. They can generate a weird clicking noise if lying on the amp or close by.
Not always, but sometimes I even have to take the phone out of my pocket and move it across the practice room.
Took me 2 trips to the tech and almost bought a new bass amp before I figured out it was the dang phone.
Most all my amps have tubes in them either in the preamp, power section, or both.
Maybe it's not an issue with digital stuff, but my intuition thinks it might be even worse, IDK.
I have a free tuner app on my phone that works great tho. I use it in a pinch to tune acoustics in situations where I don't have my guitar/clip on with me.
 
Found my rechargeable tuner. The Valeton GP-50 I recently got for my birthday has a decent built in tuner that can be put in bypass mode and has a built in rechargeable battery. It also has the bonus of potentially being a backup going straight to the PA on a gig if the Katana has a problem. :thu:
