Great tuner

luffarvante, 08.07.2021

I bought this pedal to allow for accurate tuning in any environment.
I considered some cheaper alternatives but got the opportunity to test this one next to a nux tuner and the difference was big enough to convince me that this tuner is worth it.

If you just need to tune a guitar tuned in E standard "good enough" for a rehearsal or practice at home, you can probably get away with a cheaper alternative - although this pedal certainly makes that easier and quicker as well.
When working with down tuned instruments this pedal is definitely more accurate though; I've successfully both tuned and setup the intonation of several guitars and bass guitars tuned as low as B-standard with this pedal.

Super Simple

LucianoCanto, 07.07.2021

Very very simple to use with the manual that is included you can learn how to use it and in minutes. Even if you don't look at the manual, still really simplistic, just plug in and tune. Came with batteries included in mine, not sure if it will be the same for all.
When tuning in D standard for bass and guitar, there is no problem, it picks up all the notes perfectly.

Best item in my boss pedal-baord. In live performances, I only take a rapid look to tune the guitar. If you purchase this item, don't forget to switch off other pedals connected an plce it first of the line (in my opinion)

Industry standard... no need for anything else

Slamdog, 08.03.2015

The TU-3 is the latest update from Boss on the standard pedal tuner. . It can be the only pedal you have or one on your full effects board. Either way, it works well. Clear display in daylight or on a dark stage and with more steps than the tu-2 even more accurate. Power from the 9v battery it lasts months or as part of your board setup on mains it doesnt load the psu too much so it can tag on the end of a chain of pedals.

used in standard mode its great on both guitars and basses. I have never needed to switch it to any of its other modes!

Construction is excellent. its built like a tank. my kids have dropped kicked stood on wedged under 4x12 cabs, dragged around and generally abused the first one... it still looks almost new and works perfectly. I bought a second one as it was a pain not having another to use when tuning guitars after maintenance and the kids had the only one with them. Thomann has the best price in europe, even with the shipping to the UK. five stars!!!
