Product Description

The Boss TU-3 has arrived, carrying on and improving on everything that made the best-selling TU-2 great. Housed in a tank-tough Boss stompbox body, the TU-3 features a smooth 21-segment LED meter with a High-Brightness mode that cuts through the harshest outdoor glare. On the TU-3, choose between Chromatic or Guitar/Bass tuning modes, and enjoy visual pinpoint tuning verification with the Accu-Pitch Sign function. The Boss TU-3 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 six half steps. The Boss TU-3 is the tuner that no guitarist or bass player should be without.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (31 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Cost effective 'road worthy' tuner"
Sound: I've used this for both the bass and guitar in live settings and it's done everything I could want it to do. If you take the time to learn how to switch the modes, there are no issues at all. I love the mute/gate when it is engaged as I do some bass playing for religious services and it is a great to be able to tune/adjust quickly on the fly. The LED lights are nice and bright and visible when the stage lighting is bright. Additionally, I've found the accuracy of the tuning to be spot on. Feature: Most useful features described above. However, if you're going to use it alot, get a power adapter. This thing loves batteries. But DON'T buy the Boss one. I bought the "one spot" adapter and it has held up far better with no issues. Didn't give it a 10 due to the adaptor Boss has and the fact that it loves batteries. Ease of Use: I read manuals unlike most people. So if you read the manual, it is SIMPLE to use. I browsed through the little manual in the box and had it up and running for both guitar and bass and can now change it on the fly. Quality: Boss - always has rugged dependable stuff. Their adapters suck though. Get a 'One Spot'. Value: I have a Korg rack tuner for bigger gigs, and I use this for smaller ones. Well worth the money for the smaller gigs but could be used for large ones as well it that's your preference. Manufacturer Support: Never have needed support of any kind. Says alot about their products if you ask me. The Wow Factor: I've always been partial to the simplicity/look of MXR boxes as the Boss boxes are a bit bigger. But I have no issues with this one at all. It has already received its share of nicks and bumps from consistant setup and tear down - that makes it "prettier" in my opinion. Overall: Overall a 9 - again, hate the adapter, but this product itself is worth every penny.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Best tuner on the market."
Sound: Doesn't produce sound. It's a tuner. Feature: This is amazing! It allows you to tune basses, guitars, everything! In all tunings! Ease of Use: All you do is plug on end of the cord into you amp, and the other end into the input of the pedal and press down on the pedal and it tunes for you. Quality: 100% awesome. Overall: I would reccomend this over any other tuner.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
