A chromatic tuner has all the notes, rather than just the standard EBGDAE of a regular guitar tuner.

You can tune to any tuning you like, as long as you know which note to tune each string to.

how much are those?

Like anything else, they vary -- and you get what you pay for....

Qwik Tune sells one for under $20. It'll probably do to tune a guitar, but not for setups, etc.

Boss makes a nice pedal (TU-2?, I think) that goes for around $100, and several handheld units. Korg makes some decent handheld units.

Fender makes a nice pedal that you can pick up for around $45.

The pedal tuners are nice cos you can leave them inline with your effects and they have a "kill switch" that mutes your sound while you tune.
