Description

The BOSS "TU" line is synonymous with reliable, roadworthy and accurate tuning. Today, the world's most famous tuner prefix gets "clipped-on" with the debut of the TU-10. 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

  • More than I needed
This is an awesome tuner with lots of cool additional features for all kinds of tuning capabilities. Nice bright display is easy to see and the floor pedal format is great. You can also power other pedals through this unit if you get the A/C power supply. I use mine with 9Volt and very happy with performance. I do a lot of open tunings so a must have for live performances. Very happy with purchase. ... show more

  • For when you're tired of clip-ons.
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.

  • Double duty pedal, tuner and a splitter
When I'm playing at home, I play with a Peavey Vypyr amp. Those amps have terrible tuners. Never seems to pick up the correct note on my guitar. This tuner is much better. Easy configuration, you can set it for guitar or chomatic or flat steps down, etc. The interface is super easy to read. I personally like the style where it looks like the LEDs are spinning right/left for sharp/flat, but they have the standard off from center tuning that most tuners use. All in all, this is a great tuner pedal, and I'm very happy with it. It does what it does very well. The thing I really like about this tuner is that there is an output and a bypass. Output gets cut when the pedal is active. If you are playing live, this is the one you will want to use. Bypass never gets cut. It's great for at home or if you are tuning somebody else to your instrument. But there's another awesome use for it; you can use it as a splitter and run your signal through 2 amps. This is fantastic for recording. Setting one amp up for the low end and another amp up for the high end and then mixing them together in the studio software makes for a very full sounding recording. If you want to run the same effects, put the tuner last, if you want to run different effects, put the tuner first. ... show more

  • Works great, but....
First of all, consider how you want to power it before purchasing. It comes with a 9 volt battery which they say is not for heavy duty use and therefor not made to last long. One reviewer said it eats batteries. Within 2 weeks of light usage the battery died unexpectedly when I went to use it. I considered getting replacement batteries but decided to purchase the Boss power adapter and not have to worry about the battery dying. Secondly, I was playing a gig immediately after tuning my electric bass. One of the band members told me my E string sounded out of tune. I showed him with the tuner that it showed it was in tune. At home I decided to compare the tuning using the pedal tuner with my tuning app. I discovered the tuning was the same, EXCEPT the tuning app registered my E string as a half step different than the pedal tuner. I trust the tuner app and also checked the tuning manually to confirm. A Google search found other musicians having the same issues with the pedal tuner. The solution I discovered was to do a reset of the pedal tuner which resolved the issue, but I will be checking the tuning periodically against other methods to confirm it is working properly. I played upright bass for 30 years before electronic tuning was popular. I had to tune by ear. My advice is to use the electronic tuners but also learn to listen for accuracy of pitches and trust your gut if something doesn't sound right. ... show more

  • Choice of two display modes to let you know if your in tune!
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
