Premium Tuner and Signal Buffer in One Pedal

The BOSS TU-3W Waza chromatic tuner pedal takes everything you love about the popular TU-3 and enhances it with redesigned circuitry, offering exceptionally pure audio pass-through. Also, thanks to this updated circuitry, the TU-3W features selectable buffered and true bypass - a feature the guitarists at Sweetwater love! Beyond that, you get the same rock-solid tuning and innovative features that you've come to expect from the TU-3, such as an easy-to-read LED display and various tuning modes. Chromatic mode is ideal for tuning by note name, while Guitar/Bass tunes by string number - even for 7-string guitars and 6-string basses. Guitar Flat mode is tailor-made for Drop tunings. The BOSS TU-3W Waza is a pedalboard necessity!

Waza Craft: a higher art of stompbox design

The Japanese word "waza" means art and technique, an appropriate name for BOSS's premium line of redesigned guitar effects pedals. You see, the pedal collectors here at Sweetwater have seen more than enough special-edition stompboxes that are only a paint job away from the originals, which is why we're so blown away by what BOSS has done with the Waza Craft series. Even in their Standard modes, Waza Craft pedals sound like idealized versions of the originals, offering the same sonic character that made them iconic, but with less noise and more consistent tone. And when you A/B the standard mode and the custom mode, the contrast is nothing short of astonishing.

BOSS TU-3W Waza Chromatic Tuner Pedal Features at a Glance:
  • A special edition of the TU-3 Chromatic Tuner pedal with refined audio circuitry
  • Refined audio circuitry for the most transparent audio pass-through possible
  • 21-segment LED meter with brightness control
  • High-brightness mode enhances meter visibility outdoors
  • Accu-Pitch sign function provides visual verification when tuning is complete
  • Chromatic and Guitar/Bass modes (tune by string number, with support for 7-string guitars and 6-string basses)
  • Guitar Flat mode allows for Drop tunings up to 6 semitones below standard pitch
  • Tuner automatically mutes when the tuner is on
  • Can supply power for up to 7 BOSS compact effect pedals
Keep your axe in tune with the BOSS TU-3W Waza chromatic tuner pedal!

Reviews

Great Pedal
I received this yesterday and have been playing with it ever since. I like the black color, the light brightening/dimmer function, the accu-pitch function, (my favorite thing), ok everything. Plus, I got it on sale.

There is nothing that I don't like. It fits just right on my pedal board and I can power it with my Cioks Sol.

Shipping was quick and Logan was helpful as always.
Music background: amateur, recreational player but love to play
Boss TU-3W Waza Craft Chromatic Tuner with Bypass
What is there to say. Its a great tool in your signal chain. No more fumbling with clamp on tuners. Accurate and just a stomp away anytime you need it. Runs nicley off of an MXR iso-brick.Has many features all of which a player may grow into as they progress and situations present. There are many pedals and tuners out there but IMHO Boss builds consistently good pedals. The TU-3W is another example of this tradition.
Music background: Amateur musician, sound guy
Perfect tuner
Never a fan of strobe style tuners. The Boss is more intuitive for me. Built like a tank and the new display colors are easy to read. Dead accurate tuning and the new built-in buffer is just what is needed at the beginning of the chain.
Music background: 45 years jazz and contemporary Christian
None Better
Best on the Market!
It will outlive me!
Building a pedal board for bass. It's a Boss tuner, it buffers & hopefully a niece or nephew need it one day cause I'm not getting any younger.
Music background: 25+ years on bass & I started late ; )
