Reinventing the traditional image of clip-on tuners, the TU-10 offers a stylish design and robust body with high- performance features derived from other BOSS tuners, such as Ace-Pitch, flat tuning up to five semitones, and Stream mode. A unique feature - the "true color" LCD - provides a full, multi-color visual experience not seen before in other clip-on tuners. In addition, the reflection-display function dramatically improves visibility. From the Manufacturer TU-3 Chromatic Tuner Bringing the legendary stomp pedal quality and ruggedness to the tuner world. The world’s top-selling stage tuner, the BOSS TU-2, evolves and improves with the debut of the new TU-3. Housed in a tank-tough BOSS stompbox body, the TU-3 features a smooth 21-segment LED meter with a High-Brightness mode that cuts through the harshest outdoor glare. Choose between Chromatic or Guitar/Bass tuning modes, and enjoy visual pinpoint tuning verification with the Accu- Pitch Sign function. • 21-segment LED meter with brightness control • High- Brightness mode enhances meter visibility outdoors • Accurate to +/- one cent • Accu-Pitch Sign function provides visual verification when tuning is complete • Chromatic and Guitar/Bass mode (tune by string number, with support for 7-string guitars and 6-string basses) • Flat tuning is supported with Guitar Flat mode, which allows for “drop” tunings up to six semitones below standard pitch • Tuner automatically mutes when the tuner is on

  • Boss TU-3W Waza Craft Pedal Review
Style: Waza Pattern Name: Tuner
I recently purchased the Boss TU-3W Waza Craft Tuner pedal after having used the Peterson StoboStomp HD pedal for a few years. I gave a 5-star review of the Peterson StoboStomp HD pedal which is well deserved. As I wrote in that review, the Peterson is the best for tuning accuracy. It is the most accurate pedal out there. However, do you really need that kind of accuracy on a pedal? Is it even beneficial? One thing I noticed when I started using the Boss TU-3W Waza Craft tuner pedal is that it seems to do its job in a quicker way than the Peterson pedal. The TU-3W seems more suited to situations like band rehearsals and gigs. The accuracy of the Peterson StroboStomp HD is great, but really, that extra accuracy is not really needed when you’re just tuning up at a gig or rehearsal with your pedalboard. Unless you also need that tuner for working on intonation and setups, it’s really not necessary. For as little as most of us need an accurate tuner for setups and intonation from time to time, there are some smartphone apps that are just as accurate as a strobe tuner, these cost from five to ten dollars each. The TU-3W simply zeroes in on the note, lets you know when you’re in tune with the brightly illuminated light, and that’s it, you’re in tune. Assuming that your guitar is properly intonated, that’s all you need. The less complicated, the better. The buffer on the TU-3W is very good, and it sounds great on my 12-pedal pedalboard. In all fairness, the buffer on the Peterson Strobostomp is also very good. The advantage of the TU-3W is that switching from the buffer to true bypass is much easier to do on the fly, whereas on the StroboStomp the switch is in the battery compartment and more difficult to get to. Between the BOSS TU-3W and the Peterson StroboStomp HD, they are both excellent pedals and you won't go wrong with either one. It's a matter of preference at this point. I found the large number of "sweeteners" on the Peterson to be a distraction, and I honestly never used them other then messing around with them a few times. I found the BOSS TU-3W to be able to get the job done quicker then the Peterson. The Boss pedal design and form factor is better designed and more intuitive, and is also easier to install on a pedalboard than the Peterson. On the other hand, I know players who absolutely love the many sweeteners on the Peterson, as well as the higher level of tuning accuracy for doing setups. It all depends on what you need the pedal for. You won't go wrong with either pedal. The Boss TU-3W Waza Craft is a great pedal and is recommended. ... show more

  • For when you're tired of clip-ons.
Style: Standard Pattern Name: Tuner
Clip-type tuners have their place and are very useful in many situations. But there's nothing like being able to use a pedal to leave your hands free and get the job done quickly. This is a sturdy and well-designed pedal, as you'd expect from Boss. Not cheap, but good. Have bought two.

  • Good.

I used to use a clip on, but now can tune up despite unnecessary guitar twiddling going on around me. Also a handy mute switch.

  • Boss is the best!

Boss makes the best effects pedals for sure. I have been using Boss pedals for years now and I've never had any issues with any of them. They sound great and are super durable.

  • Choice of two display modes to let you know if your in tune!
Style: Standard Pattern Name: Tuner
Everything I read says you have to have a tuner pedal on your board. So I picked this one based on other reviews. I'm a beginner intermediate player, but I understand the value of being in tune, and the aggravation you feel when what your playing just doesnt sound right. Just plug your guitar cord into the pedal and you can get yourself tuned up to exactly where your supposed to be within a minute or two... depending on the quality of the guitar and your string tuners. I have no compalint other than my $19.00 metronome and SPARK amp have tuner capabilities included. However not quite to the exact precision of the BOSS TU-3. This also has a bright display mode which can even be seen in daylight, and modes for step up and down tuning, as well as a stop scrolling lights which stop when your string is in tune, or a green light which lets you know when your in tune. If your serious about playing guitar, and you have the extra money to set out, don't hesitate. You won't be sorry. ... show more

  • Don’t even think about 9v batteries
Style: Waza Pattern Name: Tuner
Build quality is spectacular. Tuner operation is very simple and works well. However, you need to run this on a power supply. It eats 9v batteries for breakfast (yes even with the input jack unplugged). 4 stars for that reason.

  • EXACTLY what I wanted (and needed) in a tuner
First, let me start out by saying that I probably could have bought the original TU-3 (non- Waza Craft version), and been sufficiently pleased. However, anything that promises premium quality and uncolored signal has my attention, whether I can tell a difference or not. And hey, it just looks cool! The top feature I needed in a tuner pedal, aside from accuracy, was speed. I've always used the clip-on style, namely the , which promises to be fast and tight. It's a good tuner that has served me well without any complaints, but I felt like I should invest in something of a more professional grade. I narrowed it down to this TU-3w, along with the , the , and the ultra-affordable . It was tough to choose, as these are all well-regarded tuners. The PolyTune's ability to tune all strings at once was interesting, but a lot of people said they ended up checking each one individually anyway. Plus, since my primary use will be with a bass guitar, I doubt that I'd actually use the polyphonic method. A lot of folks said the display was sometimes more difficult to see in polyphonic mode (since it has to display all strings at the same time). The Korg Pitchblack was a contender simply because it's one of the tried-and-true tuners, and the Custom version just looks cool, but nothing really stood out otherwise. I really like the display on the Snark SN-10S (and so did a ton of other reviewers), and even though most reviewers said it was fast, accurate, and built like a tank, there was just something weird about it being priced at a fraction of the others (and I don't know why that would be a problem!). Since I couldn't make up my mind, I defaulted to this one since the TU-3 seems to be "the" industry standard tuner -- everyone either has one or has used one. I'm really glad I did, and I won't think twice about the others. Of the clip-on tuners and tuner apps I've used, nearly all of them seem to have some level of lag. Worse, many of them give a slightly different reading for the same note that you've just tuned. Speed means nothing when you can't get a consistent measurement. This TU-3w picks up and locks onto a note faster than I can look at it; tracks the tuning smoothly and steadily in absolute real time; never second-guesses itself; and it's so easy to read. If there's a better way to tune, I can't imagine how. Even if I spent more than I really needed to for the Waza Craft edition, I'm extremely pleased with every penny that I invested, making it one of my most prized tools in my gig bag. ... show more
