What are your thoughts on the Boss TU3 chromatic tuner, is it ok/good for PSG?
Thanks, Bill

I use mine with no problems.
One guy told me about his Peterson tuner, which is pretty fancy and supposed to "sweeten" your tuning. I pretty new and don't know much about that- but I do know the Boss TU-3 is built like a tank, cheap, accurate, and relatively beer-proof. So I haven't felt the need to upgrade yet.

I put a strip of painter tape across the top of the scale and make sweetener marks, labeled for the note it sweetens...I use a pretty simple scheme, touch-up, F, C#, D#,G#, and just tune the Es with pedals down...works for me, fits in with the band well, and is ideal for the TU-3. F# string is in enough tune due to cabinet drop..
Got this method from Pete Burak, who does it on a TU-12 older-style with an actual needle...I added the tape because I don't want to have to remember exactly how far to sweeten the notes...

Borrowed one from a friend...don't like it, thanks for the input,
I have a Seiko SAT 800 it shows the actual sharp/flat cents also like the needle better.
