Could someone please recommend the best electronic tuner for a Rick 12?

I need one that will handle the octave change......
My favorite is the Boss TU-3: Very accurate and easy to read! It's the next best thing to a strobe tuner! And it's virtually indestructable!
Thanks for the reply!

I finally agreed to tune our guitars a half step down last year after repeated requests from my bass player and rhythm guitarist, both of whom carry the brunt of lead vocals. So, the Rick 12 is now a half step lower as well. I have no idea if it makes a difference. It played fine in standard tuning.
