TU2 - COMPACT CHROM TUNER

Product Information

One of the most noticeable updates on the TU3 was the display. Boss increased the number of LED indicators on the tuning scale to 21 from the original TU2’s 11. This change makes it much easier to see when a note is approaching pitch. Which buttons on the pedal can help you tune your notes and change sound? While both the TU-2 and the TU-3 have ‘Mode’ and ‘Stream/Cent’ buttons, only the TU-3 has a footswitch thrown into the mix. This means you have more control, and you can do much more than just activate the pedal with the footswitch. Reference Pitch Seven easy tuning modes include Chromatic, Guitar Regular, Guitar Flat, Guitar Double Flat, Bass Regular, Bass Flat, Bass Double Flat A wider tuning range (in the case of both pedals, C0 to C8) means that you can tune your guitar notes in any direction you like. Since both pedals are chromatic tuners, it’s a given that these higher ranges will be available. The Boss TU-3 takes many of the features of the TU-2 and improves upon them. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the light display that indicates where your guitar is tuned.

How large is the pedal? This can help you choose where you’re going to put the pedal on your pedalboard and can tell you how portable the pedal is. The Boss TU-2 and TU-3 are the same sizes. Both are incredibly small so they will fit well on your pedalboard. WeightThe display is brighter as well, a decent upgrade that allows you to see the note or pitch level clearly without bending close to the pedal. The pedal also determines your note much faster than the TU-2 did, so you can tune your guitar faster. The small LCD screen on each of the pedals shows your current string and note names while you play. The TU-2 has a 7-segment display, whereas the TU-3 includes 21 segments for a more versatile display. There are several modes within both the TU-2 and the TU-3 which allow them to tune to other guitar sounds (guitar, guitar flat, bass, and bass flat). The TU-3 has 10 different modes available, where the TU has 7 different modes. Control Buttons

The weight can also give you some indication of how portable the pedal is. The Boss TU-2 is a bit heavier at 15oz, while the Boss TU-3 is 14oz. The difference is small but may matter to you. Expected Battery LifeBOSS tuners are beloved by musicians around the world for their reliability, accuracy, and user friendliness. Since 1983, the TU-12 has been an industry standard.

The TU-3’s every feature works to streamline the classic functionality of the Boss TU-2.

point LED indicators and new "stream" meter display tuning discrepancy via speed and direction of LEDs (speed of LED movement gets slower as pitch becomes more accurate) While the TU-2 and the TU-3 look to be essentially the same, they have some key differences that set them apart. Let’s take a look at what these differences are and what they mean for you.

As with the overall form factor and design, Boss didn’t really change anything between the TU2 and the TU3. As far as ease of use goes, both work in an almost identical fashion. Modes are selected through the mode button and display type is changed with the stream/cent button. What pitch does the pedal use as an internal reference for your notes? Both the TU-2 and TU-3 use the same internal reference: A4, or 438 to 445 Hz. The standard guitar is tuned to 440 Hz and the fact that this reference is within a normal range can help you get the results you want when you tune up or down. Connectors Activating either of these tuners when they’re attached to your pedal board couldn’t be easier. Simply stomp once to activate the tuner, this will mute output allowing you to tune in silence. When you’re done, stomp again to reactivate the output. Functions
