The display and tuning functions are identical to the TU-3-the only thing eliminated is the pedal switch. Scaled down in size, the TU-3S gives you the same industry-standard performance in a tiny footprint that saves precious pedalboard space. The BOSS TU-3 is the world’s go-to stompbox tuner, trusted by players everywhere for its reliable operation and bulletproof durability. Buy some for friends (Christmas and birthdays!!).World-Standard Performance in a Tiny Footprint I am very satisfied with it and hopefully will not have to buy another one for a long time. I paid a little less for the Fender pedals, but it makes no sense to keep buying a cheap one when you can just spend a little more and have it a lot longer. I had a Fender pedal (two of them, really) and neither one held up very well my buddy's pedal has been going strong for a good long while (at least fiv e years, possibly longer). It also tends to pick up other strings (it'll flash back and forth between the one you want and another string) but I just helf my hand on the other five while I picked the one I wanted. The only thing I don't like is getting to the battery, but I'm also getting a daisy-chain power cord, so that won't be a problem (I kept leaving it plugged in, which will drain yer batteries quick). It's very easy to use, and I like the half-step-increment tune up/down option. I'd been wanting one for awhile and decided to risk my wife's wrath and do it. I bought the pedal at the urging of my friend and bandmate. The last tuner pedal you'll ever have to buy I wish I added it to my setup earlier to be honest.
Although $100 bucks is a good chunk of change, it is worth it to have accurate, reliable tuning ready at the push of a footswitch. The pedal is also very quiet when engaging and disengaging the foot switch for muted tuning. I only use the wall adapter as I've found batteries drain fast in most pedals. I really don't use a lot of the different modes that this has, so I can't comment on that. I also think it looks better than the Digitech, although Digitech pedals, which I also have several of, do feel more beefy and heavy compared to Boss pedals.
The Accutune feature is a nice touch to give you a little more confidence that you are tuned properly and your note will ring true for more than just a small fraction of a second.
#Tu 3 chromatic tuner series#
Digitech Hardwire was another consideration, but I went with Boss since the Boss TU series has been a benchmark for quite some time. That said, I then needed a higher end more dur able tuner and I have several Boss pedals, so this was an obvious choice. So, I used it for a while out of the loop and now it seems to have a hard time even picking up the guitar signal. It worked pretty well for a while in my chain but eventually after about a year the wall outlet power adapter socket wore and would intermittently lose contact which would cause popping and unreliable operation of my whole effects chain. So I bought a Beringer TU-300 which is also plastic but is a stompbox configuration for about $25. Plus, if it got accidentally stepped on it would break. I have a Sabine STX-1100 which cost about 40-50 bucks but that is plastic and doesn't have a footswitch. I bought this because I wanted a more durable tuner that I can rely on in my effects chain so I won't have to unplug to tune. Durable and reliable in your effects chain
