MGR/Billy « Boss TU-3 »
Published on 10/19/10 at 15:00This is a review for the Boss TU-3 Chromatic Tuner. It replaced the popular TU-2 that Boss put out many years ago. The TU-3 has a noticeably easier to read display and better accuracy than the old TU-2. There is also a strobe tuning feature, which may or may not be a new feature?
I was a longtime user of the TU-2 and when I heard the TU-3 was coming out I sold my old TU-2 for $45 and upgraded to the TU-3 for $80 total. I believe I bought it through Guitar Center's website when they had a special discount coupon.

I like that the unit kept the features I loved from the TU-2 like the sturdiness and only improved up in with adjustable brightness and better tuning accuracy.
There isn't anything I do not like about it. Boss did their homework and put out a sturdy, amazing pedal. Some people complain that the pedal isn't true bypass and that buffered bypass is not the same. I believe I have a decent ear and I do not notice any signal loss whatsoever.
Rock solid! You could throw this off a cliff, then go find it and take it to your gig. The battery life is great too.
Bottom Line if you need a pedal tuner I really would like you to consider this one. There are fancier tuners out there, but like it's older brother, the TU-3 will soon become the industry standard in guitar and bass tuning.
