Behringer TU300 Reviews

Slow

Takes a very long time to identify the note you're playing. But if you're patient and not in a rush, there's nothing else to complain about.

Spot On!!!

Difficult to say much but I use this for standard tuning with my 4 string bass's and it works accurately, quickly and silently. I know some tuners struggle to accurately work with bass, but this one doesn't. The display is nice and clear and despite being made of plastic, it feels pretty weighty and robust and it also has a nice positive on/off action. The sockets all feel decent quality, though I won't be plugging and un-plugging on my board a lot. It's in front of seven other pedals on my board (powered by an Engl power tap) and when not in use it doesn't colour the sound or change the volume at all. I only use this for tuning bass but it has the option to tune other instruments and although I haven't tested this, I have no doubt it will work well for those too as bass is the instrument that most tuners are likely to struggle with.

I waited six weeks for this to come back in stock, and when I placed the order it arrived in just three days. I'm glad I didn't impatiently order a more expensive make. I have quite a few Behringer pedals now and in general they work exactly as pedals should. They are excellent quality for money. If you can see past the plastic cases, they are actually incredibly strongly built and have proven themselves to happily stand up to a rough gigging environment.

All in all I am over the moon, this is an outstanding tuner at an unbeatable price. Why would you pay more? Highly recommended.

Tuner for tuning for tunes

It tunes, I sound in tune, it's good and unless you have serious foot-eye coordination it should last a lifetime, Beringer pedals are great, end of.

great

Works great. It mutes the output while tuning and works good. Do note that there has to be a cable in the input in order for the pedal to turn on.

good value

nice tuner, no problems so far

Good pedal, but not great.

Build quality is good. It is plastic, but I do not mind it, it fits my needs and it is quite sturdy for what it is.

Mechanicaly handles as expected. But as a tuner it is not great. It certainly is an ok tuner, just not great, sometimes it struggles a bit with tracking the tone, especially on lower strings, and bass.

It has a bypass output that saved me some headache when I was building my pedalboard, as I used it as a splitter for my bass and guitar chains (I use my pedalboard for recording in my home studio) that start with Boss NS-2 noise suppressor send and end with an ABY switch running to NS-2's return.

Pros: It works, does the job done, maybe not as quickly as some more expensive tuners, but it works nonetheless. That extra bypass output saved my neck, and is a really great addition.

Cons: the tracking is a bit erratic and slower on lower strings.

Perfect for at home

Wanted a pedal tuner for my board (also to mute my chain) and this thing just works. No experience of using it outside my home, but for that, it's just perfect.

It has one 'flaw' which is the different tuning modes. It always defaults back to the first one, and so doesn't save your preference once you turn it off and on again. Not a big deal for me, but might be for you.

very bad... doesn't work with bass

Tuner is excellent. If this pedal broke I would buy another one immediately.

ok

The display is not amazing, but theres nothing wront with it. The case or whatever you call it is made of plastic and it doesent look very durable, but if you wont kick it, its probably going to last forever. The problem that we found out on a gig is that it doesent take bass very well, but for the price I think its really worth.

Solid tuner

Decent build, full-size stomp box style guitar tuner. Handy to have, easy to read though there are better options out there.

Great cheap tuner

The pedal has many features and is quiet accurat. I use it as a backup tuner but I would definitly recommend it for anyone looking for a great cheap tuner. I know a lot of people don't like these Behringer pedals because they are made of plastic. Personally I don't really mind it, as long as you don't stomp too hard on the pedal, it should hold.

Long term (8yrs) Review

Let me preface this by explaining that I use this live and for rehearsals (I don't have a separate rehearsal board). Therefore, over the past 8yrs it's had a heck of a lot of work asked of it.

I can't believe it still works ! It doesn't suck any input out of the rest of my pedals (I have it at the front of my chain, just after my wah). It mutes everything nicely. It's easy to read even with stage lights pointing at you. It's accurate and did I mention it's still going strong all these years later? Would I recommend it to a friend....?....already have! Would I buy another one...?..without a doubt. It's the hardest working chromatic tuner I've encountered. You should get one too!!

Great value for money tuner.

Good tuner

Nice tuner, but slow on the lower strings. But the price cover this cons

Tunes well and is cheap. Perfect!

Does what it should.

Tunes accurately, easy to use and all I will ever need.

Pedal feels a little flimsy (it is plastic after all) - someone with steel capped boots might break it after a while - and it is slightly slow to respond at first - but they are minor gripes for the features / price.

If I lost it, I would absolutely buy again rather than a more expensive version.

Not bad for price

A great beginner pedal. Useful for a quick tune up on stage.

If I had any complaint, is that how bright the light is when it's actively tuning. There is a small LED to indicate tuning mode, which will burn your eyes out if you are the dark.

Good tuner

Nice unit, don't expect to use it on a bass guitar, it will fail at E and sometimes even at A.

Tuner

Great Tuner for price..had it a couple of years now and still going strong.

Useful and Sturdy

This pedal is just what I needed and more. Cheap and affordable but not lacking in quality. Worth the purchase and essential to my set-up.
