Boss TU-3 Reviews
Solid workhorse of a tuner
I've been using the Boss TU-3 for years now, being slung into guitar cases and backpacks, and it's barely showing a mark on it, superb build quality. It's quick and reliable to tune any guitar, and has very impressive battery life.
Overall it's a good tuner. The only two flaws I saw during the years are the high battery consumption (at least in my opinion) and the fact that when you're downtuned sometimes it struggles to catch the biggest string
Gives even more than I wanted
I was looking for a simple tuner, I trusted boss since I have had great experiences with their line of pedals in general. The TU-3, how should I put this, over delivered, it had way more options than I could have hoped for, and I doubt I will ever need another tuner no matter what i choose to do later on.
Solidly made - accurate and easy to use.
Case is robust and should last and last. Display easy to read. Solid piece of kit from BOSS!
Solid. Works. Reliable.
+ 100% reliable and precise
+ can power other pedals via 9V out
+ solid build
+ great price
It will remain on my pedalboard forever!
Until ofcourse Boss maybe will release the TU-4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I play live for many years and i'll never chang Boss Pedal tuners.
Quality tuner, very reliable and gets the job done quickly.
The standard
This is the tuner you'll find on a lot of pedalboards, and for good reason. It works great, is built to last and offers everything you want from a tuner.
I bought this when I bought my first pedalboard and has never failed me, tuning is quick and accurate, works like a charm. Would recommend every guitarist that's looking for a stage tuner to get this, it might be slightly more expensive than some others but it's a great value unit!
Great stomp box tuner
This is a really good stomp box tuner. It is built to last, it is easy to setup and use, and the screen can be seen clearly in both dark and light environments.
The best!
I think that it is the best Tuner on the market, it is accurate and precise. I bought it because I need it for setting up my guitars, and this is really reliable, but I'm going to use also as power supplier. It is amazing.
I'm not a great fun of Boss, but this is one of the pedals that I love from Boss Company.
Good Job.
Does what it says and is reliable
Very strong and reliable... great tuner
Perfect bang for your buck
Durable. With brighter led's then the TU-2 and just pretty much foolproof in use.
Industry standard for a reason
This is a great tuner! It's an industry standard for a reason. The tuning is accurate and the buffer provides a healthy signal level. The 9V dc link is a bonus. It comes handy when I just want to use the tuner in the beginning of a three pedal chain and not having to carry a bulky power supply and just use a small regulated wall-wart to power everything
Still the industry standard for a good reason
You can't say much about it: true bypass, perfect tuning, handy mute function. What else do you need? Don't waste your money on cheaper pedals.
Very nice product!
It works as expected, because I tested it some years ago.. I think is fondamental to an artist to have these kind of equipent for the studio or live. Anyway, I didn't expect there was a battery inside of it. I think it's really great improvement. Because the old version that I tested didn't had the battery.
Industry standard tuning pedal
it does exactly what it say's on the tin! Everyone and their mother has one and for a very good reason! They are built to last, they are very accurate and they are reasonably priced!
The bright LED display means it is very useful on heavily lit or very dark stages and venues which make it absolutely for use in live situations!
The robust metal casing make it so that this pedal can take a significant beating! So whether you attach it to a board that is kept in a case, or you throw it into a rucksack, this pedal will last a long time and will do the job very well
What else you need?
Using it with a 5-string bass guitar. It is fast, sturdy, easy to use, precise, comfortable. What else you need?
I used my friend's for a long time, but now I got my own and didn't have to think about what should I get: the Boss TU-3.
I can recommend it to everybody, who needs a tuner as his/her lifelong partner.
Good accuracy!!
Simple to use good accuracy and solid construction.
Good
Its does the job well. Undetectable audible signal loss .
Extremely reliable
This pedal is sturdy and delivers very precise visual feedback, which is great for the stage. Even more importantly, it allows to achieve very accurate tuning.
