Tu 3 chromatic tuner12/27/2023 ![]() 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. 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.
