The BOSS TU-3W Waza chromatic tuner pedal takes everything you love about the popular TU-3 and enhances it with redesigned circuitry, offering exceptionally pure audio pass-through. Also, thanks to this updated circuitry, the TU-3W features selectable buffered and true bypass. Beyond that, you get the same rock-solid tuning and innovative features that you’ve come to expect from the TU-3, such as an easy-to-read LED display and various tuning modes. Chromatic mode is ideal for tuning by note name, while Guitar/Bass tunes by string number – even for 7-string guitars and 6-string basses. Guitar Flat mode is tailor-made for Drop tunings. The BOSS TU-3W Waza is a pedalboard necessity!
The Japanese word “waza” means art and technique, an appropriate name for BOSS’s premium line of redesigned guitar effects pedals. Even in their Standard modes, Waza Craft pedals sound like idealized versions of the originals, offering the same sonic character that made them iconic, but with less noise and more consistent tone. And when you A/B the standard mode and the custom mode, the contrast is nothing short of astonishing.
