MGR/MattG « Boss TU-3 Tuner »
Published on 02/23/10 at 15:00This is the updated version of the very popular TU-2 Stompbox tuner. It has several different tuning modes and also includes a power supply capable of powering up to seven other pedals.
I bought this tuner because I have recently been using the Behringer pedal tuner. I wanted something more accurate and also wanted something that would pick up my low E string better. I like Boss and I had borrowed a TU2 before but just couldn't bring my self to spend $100 on a tuner. I am very glad I did.
The tuner is much more accurate than the Behringer I had been using and it also seems to be a little more accurate that its predecessor. It has brighter LED's than the previous model which is great for tuning outdoors when you need them to cut through. There is nothing worse to me than tuning with your guitar coming through the PA in a live setting. When going from drop D back to E or visa versa, the tuner picks up the string immediately which makes for speedy tuning. You can also choose how bright the LED's are which is nice if you are running on battery power, if you don't need them bright, you can turn them down.
I don't really have any negatives, I still think $100 for a good tuner is steep, but if thats the price for a good tuner, so be it. I also wish there was a way to keep the store display running while you aren't tuning.
It is in the Boss case so its tough as nails.
If you need a good tuner for a live setting, this is the one to get in my opinion. Don't skimp on the Behringer, it will only raise your blood pressure.
