Now shipping, the Boss TU-3 Chromatic Tuner ($160.50 MSRP) takes the place of the TU-2 pedal tuner and adds many new features.

The TU-3 guitar and bass stompbox tuner adds functional enhancements to the original’s specs, like the new high-brightness meter mode that improves visibility under bright sunlight, and a 21-segment meter light that provides accurate and visable tuning. Similarly, the new Boss Accu-Pitch function visually verifies when the target pitch is attained, and the sound output is muted while the tuner is on so that you can tune silently while on stage.

Housed in a rugged Boss stompbox chassis, the TU-3 also features Chromatic and Guitar / Bass tuning modes that allow you to tune by string number, supporting seven-string guitars and six-string basses. The TU-3’s LED meter and arrow indicators clearly show when the instrument is in tune, no matter what light you view it in.

Meanwhile, Flat Tuning mode lets you calibrate the TU-3 for tunings up to six half-steps below standard pitch, and the tuner’s reference pitch can be adjusted over a range of 436 to 445 Hz.

The TU-3 is available now. Want to see it in action? Check out Gearwire's video demo.
