Great tuner

I bought this pedal to allow for accurate tuning in any environment.

I considered some cheaper alternatives but got the opportunity to test this one next to a nux tuner and the difference was big enough to convince me that this tuner is worth it.

If you just need to tune a guitar tuned in E standard "good enough" for a rehearsal or practice at home, you can probably get away with a cheaper alternative - although this pedal certainly makes that easier and quicker as well.

When working with down tuned instruments this pedal is definitely more accurate though; I've successfully both tuned and setup the intonation of several guitars and bass guitars tuned as low as B-standard with this pedal.

Super Simple

Very very simple to use with the manual that is included you can learn how to use it and in minutes. Even if you don't look at the manual, still really simplistic, just plug in and tune. Came with batteries included in mine, not sure if it will be the same for all.

When tuning in D standard for bass and guitar, there is no problem, it picks up all the notes perfectly.

Good tuner

Bought for my brother to use as main pedalboard tuner.

The tuner is precise enough and does the job.

In typical Boss fashion, the 2 outputs can come in handy for various applications.

Works great, no quality issues and the price is good.

Great value

A quality tuner and a classic design. You cant go wrong with this one. Solid construction and plenty of display options (if thats your thing). Highly recommended.

The go-to floor tuner

Grabbed one of these for my guitarists to be able to tune and mute themselves without any faff. Just plug it in and let them get on with it. For the price and quality I don't see why you'd buy anything other than Boss

Best in town

This tuner is not only very accurate, it is so user friendly any guitar is very quickly ready to play. It is sturdy, versatile and looking good too. It is easy connected into your pedal board and gives you a chance to tune without others hearing you.

Next it give some extra's like power distribution to other pedals

Pros; versatile, accurate, sturdy

Cons; maybe somewhat higher in price, but it will stick to you a lifetime.

A classic but brought a lot of efficiency

I've been playing for 15 years the guitar and always tuned by ear.

I r"cently started recording my stuff and it was a pain in the ass to always lose a lot of time tuning the guitar.

honestly I don't know why I waited this long to buy this tuner because now before every session I just switch it on and spend 2 minutes adjusting my tuning.

about the quality: it's a Boss pedal, it's top quality.

I won't be able to go back anymore !

tune me up

A very compact, beautiful and easy to use tuner. only thing that I didn't like: for its fame and price I would appreciate a little more precision with low drop tuning.

Great quality for a reasonable price

This Boss tuner is one of the most used tuners ever and now I know why,

It’s so simple to use and feels super sturdy and well built, it even feels better than my EHX pedals. I was suprised when I got the package, it’s box even felt premium.. now I know why Boss pedals are in such a high regard!

The Boss of tuners!

This is a very robust, easy to use and reliable tuner. I have tried many others, but this one is by far the best.

High Quality

It is really good pro product.The handling it is good but sometimes you need to spend more times to set the screw.The battery change is a bit mor annoying beacause you need to set cables at side to prevent damage.As a tuner is perfect and the materials seems very long term quality.

A reliable, no-nonsense tuner pedal.

It is what it is: a tuner pedal. Does the job bloody well, reliable and durable as always, typical of any Boss stompbox.

Boss Tuner TU-3

I purchased this tuner on the advise of my son who has used this model for a few years now. He said you can't go wrong with it. He was right; it is a sturdily built, has a very clear display and is easy to use and most importantly as you would expect, it is very accurate.
