There are corresponding LEDs that let you know what you are doing when you are messing with the switches.īut, I NEVER use those extra switches. The “UP” and “DOWN” switches are used to hold a specific tone, or when used with the “PITCH” switch allow the user to change the reference pitch (A) from 440 to 445 Hz in 1Hz increments. The controls are simple, with an ON/OFF switch that allows you to choose a low or high frequency range, and “PITCH”, “UP”, and “DOWN” switches. If you are going to run the tuner in line and leave it on the whole time you are playing, you should go buy an adapter. Boss recommends the PSA-120 adapter, which is the same one for almost all of their effect pedals. If you want to invest in an adapter, there is a power jack located on the right side of the case. This tuner uses a standard 9-volt battery, and it does not suck through batteries very quickly (unless you forget to turn it off, like I do). A ¼-output jack is included so the TU-12H can be used in-line. In addition to the condenser microphone, on the TU-12H there is also a ¼-inch input jack located on the right side of the case. I choose the TU-12H because I play the acoustic guitar quite a bit, and there is no microphone built into the TU-3. I use a Boss TU-3 on my bass pedalboard, but in my practice space I exclusively use a Boss TU-12H tuner. Boss (part of the Roland Corporation) has been doing this for years with their effects pedals and with their venerable tuners. What do I really expect from a chromatic tuner? Not much, really: accuracy, simplicity and a reasonable price.
