TU-3: Chromatic Tuner

The New World-Standard Tuner Has Arrived

Features

The world’s top-selling stage tuner, the BOSS TU-2, evolves and improves with the debut of the new TU-3. 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. Choose between Chromatic or Guitar/Bass tuning modes, and enjoy visual pinpoint tuning verification with the Accu-Pitch Sign function. The 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. It’s the new-standard tuner that no guitarist or bass player should be without!

  • 21-segment LED meter with brightness control
  • High-Brightness mode enhances meter visibility outdoors
  • Accurate to +/- one cent
  • 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 six semitones below standard pitch
  • Tuner automatically mutes when the tuner is on
  • Supplies power for up to seven BOSS compact effect pedals
  • BOSS five-year warranty
