Hi Megadeth45
I agree with most on here that you can’t go wrong with the Boss TU-2. Overall, it’s a great tuner and it can do a lot more than you would think. For example, you can set it to a half-step or whole-step down when you down tune, which I’m assuming you do judging by your profile name 😉
Have you looked at the Planet Waves Chromatic Pedal Tuner? It’s pretty decent. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that the TU-2 has, but it’s still pretty good, and a bit cheaper. I actually did a review of it here:

It sounds like you play a lot in dark-lit stage environments. The pedal is great for that, and it’s also True Bypass which I know you were wondering about.
Also, if you’re ever in a jam and have internet access, you can tune real quick at http://www.guitar2ner.com
Good luck man!
