I purchased a strobe tuner a while back and found I still like my TU12 best. I just bought a new old stock TU12 on Ebay.

I agree, the Boss TU12 is a very reliable tuner, mine are the the TU12 EX, basically the same tuner. I keep a look out for them when they show up here on the forum.
I keep one in each of my seats and at home in my music room.

I used one for decades (purchased used circa 1986) before it finally crapped out. Replaced it with a TU-15 which lasted for a couple of days; it was junk. Now I use $14 Fishman FT2s (that used to cost under $10 not that long ago).

I had a TU-12 for years, finally 'upgraded' to a Sonic Research ST122 which had the 'preset' sweetened tunings that I liked a lot. Now I've got a StroboStomp, same sweetened tunings are available as the ST122, I believe these are the 'Newman tunings'?
When I had the TU-12, I remember I just tuned the G# a bit flat to sound right to my ear, everything else straight up. How do you guys that still use them tune? Straight up just pains me, those pesky thirds just need to be tuned a bit flat, or I cringe. That's one part of the Newman tunings I believe?
All that said, I dropped my old TU-12 many times, and it got where the case would pop apart when it happened. I just snapped it back together and moved on. LOL... It was/is a great product.

I use the Newman tunings as shown below.The TU-12 gets them close enough for my ears.
