Retailing for around $99, the Boss TU-3 Chromatic Tuner comes under our watchful eye. Does it perform well and what are the prominent features?
First, the Boss TU-3 shares the same exact form factor as any standard Boss floor pedal and is built out of rugged yet lightweight diecast steel that will endure thousands of gigs and hard nights on the road. The Boss TU-3 has a very easy to ready tuning method and display that is made out of strobe lights on the front of the pedal with move left-right to guide your string into perfect pitch. Boss went out of their way to make this pedal stage friendly, as the large and easy to read display is easily read while many feet away and in dark places. The LED display is comprised out of 21 lights for precision tuning.
The Boss TU-3 features support for seven stringed instruments, flat tuning mode, tune by string mode, alternate tuning mode.
What is an added bonus of the Boss TU-3 is the fact that it also acts aas a DC power source and will daisy chain and support the powering of 6 other pedals. This comes in handy and makes good sense, since the Boss TU-3 pedal is usually placed at the beginning of your signal.
Does the Boss TU-3 Suck? Answer- no. The pedal is a standard in the live music industry and works quickly and effectively. What is perhaps the best feature of all is the bypass switch that allows you to cut any and all noise to your amp and just allow for silent tuning.
Every live player should get into the habit of retuning their instrument after each song on stage. The Boss TU-3 will easy allow for this.
