Boss TU-3 5-stars Reviews

No more noise (tuning at least)

As soon as I opened the box and handled the pedal it had a reassuring weight and feel of quality about it. As for how it works it has to be the fastest reacting tuner ive I ever used. I havn't begun to check out its different features like pain free tuning for GADDAD and the other drop tunings, just to have a fast and accurate tuner with a mute will keep me happy for some time to come.

Reliable & Accurate

A top quality tuner that can be used for any instrument. This is the first and probably last tuner I'll every buy, because it's got everything I could ever need in a tuner. I can use it for guitar and bass and it's got different settings for tuning, although I always use the rotary one, which is the most accurate mechanism of tuning out there. You can also change the pitch and mode. It seems to have everything a tuner could possibly have.

Great pedal

Checked out loads of reviews for different pedal tuners and the BOSS TU-3 kept on coming up as the top scorer. Took the plunge and bought one and found it to be everything that folk had been talking about. Easy to use with the option for silent tuning if that's your bag or for audible tuning if that's your preference. Can't fault it either way, simple no-nonsense display give you a quick visual with a good response time. Enables swift tuning in the noisiest situations

Solid

This product really does speak for itself as on of the foremost industry standard tuning pedals out there. Obviously the big step from the previous model comes in the form of increased LED lights leading to tighter accuracy. The muting of the signal when activated is also handy although this function can be disabled if the user wishes. Extremely durable for extensive gigging purposes and very clear at all times so absolutely squinting required (take this from a man who chooses not to wear glasses despite being short sighted!)

Stay tuned

I have said it before, and ill say it again - your not a musician if you cant keep in tune.

The Boss TU - 3 is by and large the most widely used pedal tuner in the world, and can litterally be seen on most stages.

The build quiality as always with boss, is solid, and its rugged reliability lends itself to your set, giving you the confidence to push your own limits, and still be able to get back into tune quickly for the next song.

If you dont own one you should, if you do you know.

The standard is a standard for a reason!

A Tuner That Everbody Should Own

As far as tuners go, this is the best one that I have ever used. It's extremely reliable and is of typically excellent BOSS quality. Tuning my guitar when playing live is an absolute breeze with this great pedal. Don't have any hesitations about buy this tuner, you won't regret it!

classic

no fuss, precise tuner with the ability to give power to your other pedals out of it. perfect

Always in tune!

I changed my rig from a full digital setup to an amp and a pedalboard. So i needed a tuner, since I can't use the one in the Axe-Fx anymore.

I mainly play seventrings, so i was unsure, which tuner would be the best for me.

After a bit of comparing I chose this one instead of the Polytune and I don't regret it.

The handling is super easy and I have no issues with tuning the 7th string. As every BOSS pedal, this is one is built to last, so the quality is very good!

I use it on my pedalboard and for homerecording, it does every job!

If you are looking for decent tuner for your pedalboard, I recommend this one!

The standard in tuning

I bought this to replace my Boss TU-2 which I have had for 8 or so years. A psu malfunctioned on shorted out my old tuner. The price difference between this newer tuner and the old dependable was fairly small so I went for this one.

It has a nice feature of adjustable brightness which is very handy for day time shows! With the old TU-2 I had to leave a bag in front of it for shade! I haven't had an opportunity to test this function yet but it seems to be a great idea!

Very dependable construction and quite accurate from what I can tell!

I have tried a few other tuners but always go back to Boss!

Cracking Pedal

What can I say...Another great pedal from Boss. Bought this to have on stage area at church for the acoustic guitars. They are all very happy and the pedal is easy to read and doesn't mess with the sound of the guitars at all. The build quality is very good and even comes with a battery!

Boss TU-3

Brilliant little pedal, very easy to use, better than my previous TU-2.

Adjustable brightness means you can use in various conditions.

I keep it first in my pedal chain, two outputs mean it can be used it can be used straight through or in bypass, I keep it in bypass and use it as a kill switch.

If you purchase the optional daisy chain lead (PCS-20A) it can power a number of additional pedals.

The right hand button is the mode button, you can toggle between 6 modes.

The modes allow you to tune chromatically, choose bass or guitar and includes the ability to tune flat by semitones. This tuner also works with 7-string guitars and 6-string basses.

I have used it constantly for two years now and no problems at all, couldn't be happier with this tuner.

Does what it says on the box

Does everything it says it should, without a fuss.

Also, if you live in the UAE it will cost you 50 Euros to deliver and an extra 10% of the total order to COLLECT from a local post office; they did not deliver to the address I asked them to. DHL have delivery vehicles and offices, however, instead use Emirates Post who have very poor customer and organization.

Great tuner

This tuner does everything you;d expect a good tuner to, it's accurate, the casing is tough so it's great for gigging without fear of it breaking and the led display is bright enough to be seen on even the darkest of stages

In tune anywhere

Why bother with stupid clip on tuners???

So you have waited all your life saving for your lush 59 Les Paul, it's beautiful in all its glory and then you notice that the stupid clip on tuner has reacted with the nitrocellulose finish and devalued your pride and joy be 50%!!! Why bother with them as they are only +\- 3 cents apparently but noooooo they are more like +\- 6 cents...

Let me introduce my best friend and probably the only pedal that is on every pedal board I ever use.. The boss tu3!!!!!! With its incredible accuracy of +\- 1 cent and the fact it's not attached to your guitar it's probably the best tuner on the planet... Buy one... You won't look back!!!

Good stage tuner.

My old trusty TU-2 died on me the other day, so I bought this new TU-3.

It responds quick to any signal and it is easy to see the display on dark stages.

Great tuner if you need a tuner with buffered output. It is not true-bypass, but it doesn't color the sound in any way as far as I can hear.

It is build like a tank, and it also provides a 9VDC power outlet so you can daisy chain power to other pedals.

It is also possible to calibrate the tuner to other pitches. This comes in handy if you are playing with other instruments that's not tuned in 440Hz.

Bought to replace a cheaper Boss tuner

My son bought this for use with his bass guitar. Two of my guitar playing colleagues have earlier versions of the same pedal and have been using them for 10-15 years. This new version looks like it will go on working for similar time. Rugged metal construction, really quick to detect the note being played and to tune in to desired note - chromatic or preset strings. Not the cheapest tuner available, but it works and will last.

Great Boss updated tuner

Boss tuner seems to be well made with a few updates from old model, Lights up better and clear on stage than old one, very accurate tuning reliable never breaks down have it for a few years now, no problems.Very sturdy done move on floor one of the better on stage tuners ive tried

Chromatic tuner, does exactly what it says on the tin and is good and sturdy for use on stage as you would expect from Boss. The brightness on the display ensures you can tune without having to bend down close.

Boss TU3

This product does exactly what is required. LED is bright and visible on a dark stage and also in daylight or under artificial light. Lots of features available - perhaps more than are necessary - but which may be useful to some people in certain instances. The chromatic tuning setting is probably the most useful for most people but this can also be changed to tune by string number (as in the low E string sometimes termed the 6th string, A string is 5th string, etc) so if you like that system you can set your tuner to that fashion either. Sturdily built as always from Boss.

Awesome tuner!

Not sure what else to say really. It's great to be able to kill the sound so that I can tune up without annoying the audience. Not to mention that it's got a good display!
