For your second question. A Marshall Guv'nor, try Ebay. Usually go for around £30-50. They are really good pedals.

I think TU-2's are around £69 and i think the Guvnor is around £49. You could buy both in Aberdeen from either R&B or Bruce Millers for those sort of prices.

The TU-2 is a godsend but to be honest i prefer the Jackhammer to the Guvnor

To be fair... he did say IMHO

Not a fan of the guvnor. Think it's fairly guff. Good on bass though.

This may sound stupid, but how good can a tuner be? Why pay 80 quid for one, when surely a 10 quid one does the exact same job?
