Description
BOSS TU-3 Chromatic Tuner — The World's Best-Selling Stage Tuner
The BOSS TU-3 Chromatic Tuner sets the standard for stage tuning reliability. Built on decades of BOSS tuning technology, it combines a sharp 21-segment LED meter, pinpoint +/-1 cent accuracy, and a road-tested all-metal chassis into the most trusted compact tuner pedal on the market.
The TU-3 covers an extraordinary tuning range from C0 to C8, supports 7-string guitars and 5-6 string basses, and offers multiple flat-tuning options for down-tuned playing styles. The High Brightness mode ensures clear readability under direct sunlight, while the Accu-Pitch Sign function provides an unmistakable visual confirmation the moment your instrument is perfectly in tune.
A built-in DC OUT jack lets the TU-3 serve double duty as a power supply for other pedals on your board. With buffered bypass to preserve signal integrity and compatibility with the full BOSS PSA adapter family, the TU-3 is an essential, always-on foundation for any pedalboard.
Key Features
- +/-1 Cent Accuracy: High-precision tuning detection ensures you're always spot-on, whether on stage or in the studio.
- 21-Segment LED Meter with High Brightness Mode: Crystal-clear readability even in direct outdoor sunlight; brightness is user-adjustable.
- Accu-Pitch Sign Function: The entire meter flashes when tuning is confirmed, giving instant visual feedback without staring at the center needle.
- Wide Tuning Range (C0-C8): Covers everything from the lowest bass frequencies to the highest guitar harmonics across all standard and extended-range instruments.
- Multiple Modes for Guitar and Bass: Chromatic, Guitar (with up to 6-semitone flat), and Bass (with up to 3-semitone flat) modes support 7-string guitars and 5-6 string basses.
- DC OUT Jack for Daisy-Chaining: Powers additional pedals directly from the TU-3, reducing the need for separate power supplies.
- Silent Muting on Engagement: Engage the tuner for completely silent tuning between songs.
- Buffered Bypass: Maintains signal strength across long cable runs.
