Dean Brown

I’ve used the Boss since the 70s. When I was playing the Roland 505 guitar, I used to put it first in the chain, because it loaded the signal in a way that seemed to work with my other pedals and amp. Eventually, I started using other guitars and found that it didn’t work well in the chain with them, so I would just hook it up to the tuner out on the volume control pedal.

Best non-strobe tuner ever

Besides a costly and bulky strobe tuner, this is the most accurate and consistent tuner I've ever used.

good needle tuner

this is my intonation tuner when I'm doing set ups.... always ahs been. I prefer it to strobe tuners unlike a lot of techs. Worth seeking out.

Precise and legible

At first, I was skeptical about using the Boss TU-12H because every other guitarist I knew was using more modern-looking tuners like the Polytune, or other, newer Boss tuners. Fortunately, the TU-12H, despite its awkward fit on my pedalboard, has been extremely reliable, very responsive to every note played, and is never hard to read.
