Provides easy-to-read tuning with a display made to be visible in dark or bright conditions.

One of the world's top-selling stage tuners, the BOSS TU-2, has evolved and improved into the TU-3 pedal tuner. Housed in a tank-tough BOSS stompbox body, the TU-3 chromatic tuner features a smooth 21-segment LED meter with a High-Brightness mode that cuts through the harshest outdoor glare. Choose between Chromatic or Guitar/Bass tuning modes. Accu-Pitch Sign gives you pinpoint visual verification that tuning is complete. The BOSS TU-3 tuner incorporates a convenient Note Name Indicator that can display notes of 7-string guitars and 6-string basses, while the Flat-Tuning mode can support up to 6 half-steps. It's the kind of instrument pedal tuner that no performing guitarist or bass player should be without.

Features

  • 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 mode (tune by string number, with support for 7-string guitars and 6-string basses)
  • Flat tuning is supported with Guitar Flat mode, which allows for drop tunings up to 6 semitones below standard pitch
  • Signal is automatically muted when the tuner is on
  • Supplies power for up to 7 BOSS compact effect pedals (with optional PCS-20A Cable)
  • Accessories:
  • Owner's Manual
  • Leaflet ("USING THE UNIT SAFELY," "IMPORTANT NOTES," and "Information")

Get in tune, quick, easy, and accurately with the BOSS pedal tuner. Order one today.

        Comments about Boss TU-3 Chromatic Pedal Tuner:

        When I say that this is a tank, I mean that in two ways. You can drop this thing from pretty high and it will stay intact. The thing will also tune you up while a drummer is playing. We all know that most tuners and drummers do not get along. The only things I don't like is that it doesn't come with a power source (comes with a battery though) and that you have to register your product before you get the warranty (as with most pedals.) I digg it and I use it for everything, from gigs to practice.

        Great tuner for the price, for 3 weeks. Then it just quit working. Called MF on Sunday night, received replacement on Tuesday. So far it's working.
        Easy to use.

            Comments about Boss TU-3 Chromatic Pedal Tuner:

            I can't think of any tuner less complicated, economical and better suited in a working environment. It sets up easily in pretty much any format one might choose and is very easy to see in dark or well lit rooms and my sight isn't that sharp. If you're a working guitarist or bassist, I recommend this tuner to the highest degree.

              Comments about Boss TU-3 Chromatic Pedal Tuner:

              Very accurate, I can tune my 5 strings bass down to a low "A" easily. For a low "G" it barely detects the frequency, but still useful.
              It has two outputs (bypass and output), the second one mutes your sound while tuning your guitar/bass, this is pretty useful also if you want to switch your guitar/bass between songs without turning off your amp. No messy sounds.
              I recommend to use the power cable instead of batteries, otherwise you will not be able to finish your concert when the batteries are already drain. One 9v battery is included, the power cable is not included (to bad from boss for such an expensive pedal. I use "One Spot" cable for my TU-3). The battery is pretty easy to replace, no tools needed.
              Very strong metal case and rubber bottom for improved traction.
              This TU-3 is more accurate than my boss TU-12 (which cannot even detect the low B frequency) and the onboard tuner of my Orange 100BXT amp. I uploaded a comparison to youtube if you wanna watch.
              TU-3 is somehow costly, but i strongly recommend saving some money until you can buy this one (for its quality and precision).

                    I have always had great luck with all my Boss pedels. When I get a chance to get a good deal I add a new pedel here and there. Being far from professional I love the different tones I can create with just a turn of the knob. Now it will be so much easier to keep in tune with just a step on the pedel.
