Sweetwater Advice

Steven Dilmore
The Boss TU-3 is bright, accurate, and keeps you in tune. Simple enough, right? It's a tuner, it does what a tuner is supposed to do. Of course, it can power up to SEVEN OTHER Boss compact pedals too! Plus, it has a variety of modes to meet your needs, and is built ridiculously tough. I used mine to drive a few nails when I was hanging pictures the other night (true story). This is the one pedal you cannot do without. Even if you never use another stompbox for the rest of your music-playing life, you should use the TU-3 every time you pick up your guitar.

This pedal is an absolute lifesaver when you're on stage. I can't tell you the amount of times my bass has gone out of tune after I've been really laying into it for a song or two. Just look down, stomp the box and get yourself back to sounding like you should.

Boss TU-3

Simple to use. Easy to see. Most important fact: More accurate than any other tuner I have used. Durable and rock solid. The streaming mode reminds me of the old Conn tuners in the High School Band rooms back in the day.

Invest the money

This pedal is perfect for me as a frontman in the band. the quality of this pedal is what i expected from boss. strong and road ready. thanks to sweetwater for advising me with my purchases. this thing lights bright on stage and takes zero quality away from my other pedals and over all sound. invest the money in this, you won't be let down.

Never do a gig without one!

Every guitar player should have a tuner in their pedal board. Period!!! You can't go wrong with a Boss tuner, or a TC PolyTuner, or even a Korg tuner. Doesn't matter which one as long as you a have a tuner. But for me I always fall back to the Boss TU pedals. Their TU-3 is one awesome pedal you can count on - well in this case, "step on." Ease of use, rugged, dependable, never lies to you... I love it!!

Great tool and a must to stay in tune!

Received this tuner and immediately began using it in line which was why I wanted it. No disconnecting or stopping for tuning, just step on the pad and you are off the amp line. Vision of tuner is easy to see for old eyes too!

Boss TU - 3 Tuner

Great pedal so far, great construction.

rugged but needs power

This reliable tuner/disconnect would get 5 stars if the package included a power unit. When things are plugged in to the input, it is "on" so the battery will run down if you leave it plugged in. I guess I could go find an aftermarket transformer, but I'm unsure what voltage to use. Boss needs to make this a plug-in power unit straight out of the box (without jacking up the price...transformers are inexpensive).
