![]() How does it lock on to the notes? Phenomenally well, quick even on the low B on both 7-string guitar and 5-string bass. You're recommended to keep a battery in there (it isn't being used if there's no instrument cable in the input) but since I don't play live I just removed it. It comes with a battery installed that has been used for testing. The enclosure is like all Boss compact pedals - tougher than boots and with everything, especially the battery compartment, easy as anything to access. Similarly you will need to allow for this if you're using a power brick PSU and switch to high brightness now and then. If you're daisychaining other Boss pedals using the TU-3's pass-thru power you'll need to bear in mind that there will be less power available for those pedals in the daisychain. The display can be switched to a higher brightness so that it's visible in sunlight, but the power draw of the pedal really leaps up if you do, from 30 milliamps to 85 milliamps. It certainly powers my old compressor/sustainer pedal also made by Boss, using a simple daisychain cable. The fact that it can pass along power to other Boss pedals is a major plus, and it will even feel older Boss pedals because I believe it steps down the power to conform to older pedals. Fortunately for me, I always intended to power it from a power brick (in my case a TrueTone 1Spot) using the adapter cable that TrueTone provides, attached to an outlet that can provide 12v. It runs from standard 9v PP3 batteries or from a wall-wart power supply that is *not* provided. This means I can have two FX chains behind it, in my case one vintage and one modern. One creative use I intend to put it to is to act as a signal splitter for effects pedals since there are two outputs, "output" and "bypass". It has multiple tuning modes and display options, will easily deal with 7-string guitars and 5-string basses, and will allow drop tunings directly from the front panel using the mode control. I've held off buying one for ages and finally decided I needed to finish my pedal board with one. I see what all the fuss is about the TU-3 tuner pedal.
