BOSS TU-3 Compact Chromatic Tuner

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.

Great classic pedal from Boss! Always accurate, Suitable for string instruments, great for live performances.

Had this one for ten years before a buzz in the system. Got a new one, same great features, mainly that I can remain plugged in to the PA system and click the pedal to tune without being heard…An Essential feature for my church playing needs. And the leds are real is easy to read from the floor. It also doesn’t seem to care if other instruments are being played while tuning, only cares about my axe. Great pedal!

I play three instruments in a Americana band. I want to cut the signal while I swap instruments and no feedback while the instruments not being used. The boss delivered, I can switch with no noise and tune on the fly. Great box!

Works at advertised, sturdy. Does the bass things with no issues.

It is built like a tank, it is easy to read- BUT- it is not stable or accurate enough for bass guitar from my experience. Takes far too long to lock in on low B and E strings. In live use it’s more of a get close and hope than assurance of solid tuning of lowest notes. If I fiddle with tone knobs and pickup selection it is a tad quicker, but just not practical for bass guitar in a live setting in my opinion.

I had been using a Polytune, then started having some problems with it, so I got this as a replacement and really like it better than the Polytune, mainly because it gives you a much more precise reading, even down to cents as opposed to so many tuners that will tell you the string is in tune as long as the intonation is within an acceptable range of tolerance. So if one string is a little sharp, and the next string is a little flat, you got a problem! This tuner is sort of like an analog style that really lets you know where you're at. It is very silent, no click when you hit it. However, unlike the Polytune, you just hit one string at a time, which works for me. How can you go wrong with Boss?

Best utilitarian pedal ever! Everyone needs to tune, and this gets the job done efficiently and quietly! Worth it!

Excellent tuner pedal! The BOSS TU-3 is incredibly accurate, fast, and easy to use. The display is bright and clear, making it simple to tune even on dark stages or in bright daylight. It's built like a tank, as you'd expect from BOSS, and feels very reliable for regular gigging and practice. The mute function is a great bonus for silent tuning between songs. Overall, a high-quality tuner that does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended! 5 STAR from me!

This is a great addition to your stomp rack. The tuner is super easy to use, has a number of tuning options and is super accurate. Could not be happier.

Rien à redire sur cette pédale c'est du costaud et ça fait le taf qu'on lui demande c'est-à-dire accorder sa guitare ou sa basse, plusieurs modes disponibles et surtout on peut accorder sa guitare jusqu'à 6 demi-ton en dessous, comme toutes les pédales boss ça marche sur secteur ou sur pile 9 volts, achat indispensable sur son pédalboard. Il y avait un truc à redire je dirais que le vu mètre est un poil trop tatillon.

The standard. Doesn't get any better than this and it will last forever.

The only tuner pedal you need + it will last a lifetime!!
