Boss TU-3 Reviews

Boss TU-3

Strong, Durable, very easy to use. Designed to do exactly what you want it to do, to tune your guitar or bass. Many functions on it that you probably won't use but IMHO it's one of the best tuners available to buy

Great tuner for the money!

Bought this to use live and I must say, it has worked without any problems despite all the tap-dancing on it at every show and every rehearsal. Sturdy, reliable and affordable.

My only issue with it is that it's kinda complicated with all the extra functions on it. I'm talking about the toggle switch between guitar, bass and 7-string guitar. Took me a couple of tries to understand what every switch did.

But overall, it's a great pedal!

Solid tuner

This is essentially the industry standard tuner. Its easy to use and works of a 9v power source or battery power.

The display is bright, but not overbearing and works well in low and high light settings. I find some tuners are too bright and can be annoying in a live setting, however this tuner is the perfect balance of brightness, while not distracting.

The tuner is accurate to the very smallest detail and it provides a variety of different tunings.

This pedal almost seems indestructible. I've thrown it around, dropped it, stomped it, so many times and it still shows no signs of ageing.

Solid pedal, I would highly recommended it as it offers value for money, ease of use and longevity.

Tu3 - Industry Standard Tuner

What can I say, this is a tuner designed to tune your guitar.

It is also perhaps the most fundamentally essential piece of kit that any guitarist should own. It is built very solidly and offers cents resolution for getting that precise tuning for your guitar and bass guitar. Accepts 9v and power supply (sold separately) which for its price is a little disappointing.

Not many people know this, but you can use these tuners as DI pedals as well, as the input impedance is set to 2M ohms which is the same as most instrument DI and Hi-Z inputs. Ive used this once or twice when I was short a DI on stage and it did the trick.

Conclusion:

This is perhaps still a little pricey when it comes to tuners. There are other cheaper alternatives out there that all tune a guitar. However, this is the best built (IMHO) and allows for the most accuracy and speed of tuning. There is a reason why the Boss TU line of tuners are so ubiquitous and considered the "industry standard". After using one for months you will understand why. Highly recommended.

Very good, very expensive :(

This is very good. There is a very good reason why it seems to be industry standard. But it's over priced. The Korg Pitchblack (standard model) is equally good (although I actually prefer it) but almost half the price.

This is very good but it's not the tuner I'd recommend...

Does the job PERFECTLY

If you are looking for a chromatic tuner pedal then this is the one for you. It has never let me down and is very sturdy. It is a most need for me and is great as it cuts off the sound from your amp when you are tuning so if you need silence when playing just press the pedal and it will do the job. Great pedal and i highly recommend it to everyone.

Boss TU-3 tuner

Easy to use. Good for acoustic and electric. Good for stage performance and home use. Seems to be very accurate. Looks good.

No complaints!

Rock solid tuner here. Bright on stage and has many options (the most of which you will never use).

Basically it cuts your signal off (really nice between songs on stage, obviously) and I use it often simply for that function. Also, the darn thing is a tuner, and dead on in that regard.

PERFECT!

I've used this for both the bass and guitar in live settings and it's done everything I could want it to do. If you take the time to learn how to switch the modes, there are no issues at all. I love the mute/gate when it is engaged as I do some bass playing for religious services and it is a great to be able to tune/adjust quickly on the fly. The LED lights are nice and bright and visible when the stage lighting is bright. Additionally, I've found the accuracy of the tuning to be spot on. I cant fault this pedal at all.

Boss TU-3

Top quality piece of equipment. Much more effective than the clip-on or hand-held devices which I have previously relied upon.

Good interface with PA when switching guitars.

every guitar player needs his tuner

superb tuner the professionals favourite

Excellent tuner... what more can I say!

Keeping Us all in TUNE!

This little unit is a faithful friend. When you need to tune up fast and accuratley the TU-3 really comes into play! Helping you with its bright LED display and then the lights 'CLAP' when your on the money, its bailed me out more than once. stomp on it once and it springs into life, killing your signal to the front of house desk, allowing you to get that sneaky tune up while the next track intro is playing. It also allows you to connect and disconnect from the system without the usual 'bang' or waiting to get the sound engineers attention. Smooth and a must for any serious guitarist!
