Accuracy of the in-game tuner

I have just bought an amp (Marshall CODE 25) which has a builtin tuner. After tuning using this function, Rocksmith's tuner shows that my guitar is tuned too high. I guess I need to tune using the RS tuner in order for the game to hear the notes but I was wondering which tuner would be more accurate. Would anyone know?

The tuner before the song is off. The tuner in the pause menu is much better.

The tuner before the song is made to take in consideration that the game system looks for transient that are up to 20 cents off depending on how heavy you pluck the string. so by default the tuner is looking for a string off by 20 cents (below) to compensate the attack to obtain the most accurate result possible with the recognition system while the tuner in the menu isn't taking this offset in consideration.

So yes it's off but it's for a very good reason.

I use a quarter for a pick, that way I'm always within 5% accuracy.

It seems so, I always tune twice when switching tunings

For me it gets to the point where I don't even trust the before menu tuner. I just get through as fast as possible and just use the pause menu one. I would get rid of it if I could but the pause menu one is pretty on point.

Maybe download a tuner on your phone and see which one correlates with it? I use g-strings for Android

I always tune with a separate tuner, either pedal or clip-on while the game is loading.

I always have a snark on my headstock and never use the in-game tuner. It isn't accurate enough for me.

is it possible to disable it and not be forced to use it when you play a song tuned in Eb for example?

Not that I am aware of.
