MGR/Billy « Boss TU-80 »
Published on 03/17/11 at 16:00The TU-80 is the latest model pocket or case tuner from Boss. It is slim, lightweight and can be used as either a tuner or metronome.
I found this at Best Buy for $24. I didn't know they sold music gear.
I can plug into the tuner to tune or it has a built in mic. It makes a beeping sound when my note is in tune. This feature would appeal to setting up the intonation of your instrument, new guitarists or well anyone that has trouble hearing notes.
The tuner has a chromatic mode, so say I want to tune to a C note I can do that.
The unit runs on 2 AA size batteries. I prefer this over AAA as double AAs last longer and are easier to find when they die.
The buttons are a little stiff, but I assume they built it this way so the tuner doesn't go on and off all day inside your pocket or gigbag. I guess you don't want your bag to start ticking either if you want to board a plane!
The tuner is slim and fits easy into my hands. I'd compare it to the feel of a smart phone or remote control for a cable box.
The buttons really take some effort to press, but I can live with that.
I have nice a few fine scratches have formed. I have only had this tuner for a year. Oh well it keeps on working just fine.
A very accurate and portable tuner metronome combo.
