The Boss TU-2 chromatic tuner (stompbox) is a “must have” for every guitar player.  I tune several times during a set and the ability to isolate the guitar from the sound system instantly, visually tune the guitar, and switch back is critically important.

In a pinch, when not on stage, I’ll use a guitar tuning app on my iPhone, such as the “cleartune” app, which is surprisingly accurate.

Note: the manufacturer is in the process of discontinuing the TU-2 tuner and updating it with the TU-3.  I don’t own a TU-3 yet but when the time comes, that will be the one I’ll get to replace my trusty TU-2.
