All user reviews of 4/5 for the Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner

I use it ... pfiou over 10 years and every day! Battery, AC, normal tuning, open tunnig, guitar, bass, outside, inside, in the rain, in the dark ... forgotten for days with a switched jack (and shoo ... the battery). I had a Seiko with a needle, but had to change a little knob for each string, so I kept it for the acoustic and I put a BOSS TU-2 for my electric guitars.
Highlight: right! Hein no blague.Solide, bright and fairly priced
Weakness: a few too many menus for my taste. So that if a kid likes to switch it bb eg you're accorded to 1! and 2! and Grouinnn 're wrong! Ca m 'has happened several times, you go to a con (especially since we saw you give yourself for 1 minute)
Point "nifornifèb" it is not trubypass it buffered. It may seem a fault (the chain pedal edge if the battery is dead), but it can serve as buffer when there are too many pedals and the signal s' écroule.A from five / six pedals true bypass it have to be careful. In any case it is silent and has no influence on the son.On also appreciate his bypass output that mutes the sound (and the ability to let the sound (output). The second 9v jack lets you share the diet with another pedal, AC can be useful.
Since I bought the new TC Electronic minipolytune, I thought that in fifteen years had advanced techno ... not at all. The tuning is as fast.
No regrets on this purchase so for a hundred euros you will be right for some twenty years of use without any worries ... 10centimes profitability per week)

I have the TU-2 for over 5 years now and it has never done me wrong-bond.
No modification of the sound of the instrument, no contribution or electric buzz of background noise and a fast and accurate tuning in silence (OUT) or not (with the other output).
The tuning can be done in strobe mode or "classic" mode. It is suitable for guitars, basses and specific to these instruments.
I had a 2 Strobostomp Peterson whose screen dropped ... I had to replace it. At the time Korg Pitchblack or other Polytune TC did not exist and I might have hesitated between one of these two models and the TU-2.
Personally, I place it in my pedalboard just before hitting the amp. RAS.
Easy tuner price barely higher of course, but that is his job.

The Boss TU-2 has been a great tool for tuning on the fly in gigging situations. Before this unit, I was using handheld tuners with little or no functionality built in for drop tunings. Playing both classic and modern music means you either carry way too many guitars around or you have a versatile tuning device such as the TU-2 to help. The features such as cent and stream make tuning in darkly lit venues a bit easier than using it in chromatic mode. It also has flat and double flat tuning which is great but for today's modern music, that is not totally sufficient which is a bit of a downside to this unit. I have manual handheld tuners that can be set for five flats to accommodate some of the crazy down tuned stuff out there today. Yes you can tune to a note but it’s a bit of guess work unless the unit is set exactly for that tuning as other units can accommodate. I think Boss has addressed this in the TU-3 but not sure but it is definitely worth doing the research as this feature would entice me to make a move. This unit also seems not to affect tone or suck bass too much but maybe slightly. True bypass would be a great addition if possible. All in all this has been a great asset to me thus far and I've not had any reason to want to replace it yet so thumbs up for the most part. If I were to jump to a modern rock band I might seek out something else but until then, this is doing the job. The output and by-bass jack are also a nice feature of this unit so you can use it based on the situation.

I don't know why I haven't reviewed this before. I've probably had the Tu-2 on my board the longest compared to every other pedal I've owned. Great tuner, very solid and reliable that's for sure. The LED is brightish, though I always want it brighter, it's still good and visible. It has a few extra options available that I don't think..anybody really uses, flats/sharps and all these different configurations available but I simply just use it as a straight on guitar tuner on my pedal board.

One cool feature about this pedal is that it also acts as a buffer. You'll notice this right away when you plug in that your overall guitar signal is louder and slightly brighter. It brings back some of the upper mids and presence that's missing when you connect through a butt load of pedals and cables etc. So that's just an added bonus! Way to go Boss!!

Of course I have since moved on from having so many pedals and now use clip on tuners as they're just lighter, quicker and I don't have to use any extra cables or use up extra space on a pedal board. Though I'd definitely recommend this tuner to anybody just needing a good ol' basic tuner with no hassles. It's always reliable and sturdy, it always has been!
