Leading the industry for nearly three decades
In 1998, BOSS introduced the TU-2, the world’s first pedal-based chromatic tuner. This groundbreaking product was an instant success, making stage tuning easier and more convenient than ever. The TU-3 followed in 2009, building on its popular predecessor with increased tuning accuracy, an improved LED meter, and expanded functions. TU pedals, which regularly appear on stages around the world, continue to be the favorite tuners for everyone from local musicians to famous touring professionals.
Precise Adjustment Made Simpler
The clear 21-segment LED of the TU-3 eliminates guesswork, offering Cent and strobe flow options to suit your preferences. The innovative Accu-Pitch Sign function speeds up stage operation by displaying a bright streaming indicator when you reach your target. The default chromatic mode automatically detects any incoming pitch, while the selectable guitar and bass modes provide fast string-based tuning, with support for extended range instruments and drop tunings.
Pitch-Perfect Performance
The TU-3 features a wealth of practical functions in its compact size. Activating the pedal engages the mute function, allowing you to tune silently and keep your audio system quiet during instrument changes and set breaks. The High Brightness mode reduces glare for improved meter visibility on sunny outdoor stages. And when you power the TU-3 with an optional PSA series adapter, you can use a PCS-20A parallel cable to distribute power to other pedals on your board.
