Behringer TU300 Ultimate Guitar/Bass Tuner

Purchased this pedal a while back. Used it at many, many shows and it's been through a lot. A lot of stomps, and maybe a tiny bit of abuse (I'm in a band in which we used to be punk rock and very careless , but recently changed our genre a little to a more alternative power pop style, to endure the advancements we've made in our musical and songwriting abilities) And this is my most used pedal, minus my Big Muff. When I stomp on this pedal, I get the same response as my hardwire metal distortion. So, it's a very responsive and good stomp and it doesn't feel like it's going to break or nothing when you stomp it, as you may think a pedal this price would be. May I also add that it doesn't look as light as it does. In fact, it's pretty much the same weight as my hardwire. So, nevertheless, there is damage I've done to this pedal. Coming home from a show, and unloading my gear back into my studio, I noticed a crack in the plastic right where it says 'pitch'. The pedal still works tremendously, yet there is a crack (shown in pictures) so durability may fail you if you are carelessly stomping on it like a banshee. Like I was last year. That is literally the only problem I've had with this pedal. It tunes remarkably well, yet it is easy to break if you're gonna be stomping hard and carelessly. I will continue to use this pedal religiously. And, if it breaks I will buy again. For the price, this pedal is a deal breaker. Cheap price, but not a cheaply performing, or crafted product. I give this pedal a five star rating, even though it's durrabilty has failed me due to the fact, as said earlier in the review, it has been through a lot.

Works great

When it arrived it came in the typical stomp pedal cardboard box and the box was in great shape. When we took the TU 300 out of he box, our first impression was that it seemed pretty nice for a $25 dollar stomp pedal. It’s made of plastic and seems rugged enough. The pedal has a rubber push foot pad like other pedals of similar design. The base of the unit is made with a no slip rubber base and was easily adaptable to our pedal board. Inserting the battery was a little tricky at first, on either side of the foot pad you have to push in each hinge pin in order to access the battery compartment. The pins seem a little flimsy and may break over time. The battery compartment is not as easily accessible as with some other brand guitar pedals. When we plugged the TU 300 in, the inserts were smooth and the pedal was quiet, without any humming or buzzing. The tuner seemed a little sluggish when reacting to the strum of each string but after a few moments we didn’t seem to notice that too much. Switching between tuning modes using the MODE switch was smooth and simple as well as switching between LED display modes using the STREAM/CENT button. The ByPass insert allows the signal from the guitar to reach the amp even when the pedal is engaged. We used the TU 300 at a live event and it performed well without any issues at all. The Behringer TU 300 Chromatic Tuner for Guitar and Bass reminded us of the Boss TU 3 but for about a quarter of the price at $24.99 at amazon.com. Although the unit is made of plastic it seems tough and rugged and held up fine during a live performance. We did have some issues with the battery compartment but nothing we couldn’t figure out very quickly. Overall the Behringer TU 300 Chromatic Guitar Tuner is an affordable alternative that we would recommend to any guitar player or bassist.

It's not quite up to the Boss standard in my opinion. That being said this would be a good inexpensive option for the entry level musician who won't be 'counting on' this pedal on a stage. Pros: It's battery operated so it's possible to bust this out and use it even if you're short one outlet for a power supply The body seems fairly sturdy although made of plastic It's accurate Cons: It added a little noise to the chain. This could be avoided by taking it out of the chain if any of your other pedals have a direct output that doesn't lead back to the amp. Do not sequence this before a compressor. If your pickups are hot and you use a noise gate, that will help. The battery compartment is the pedal itself, and it's held into place using spring loaded hinge which I found challenging to put back in place after putting a battery inside. It does not include a power supply, so out of the box the battery is your only option.

I've enjoyed adding this little gem to my setup. If it were to cost $100, I would give it four stars for the lack of quality, but for its price it exceeds my expectations. It feels well built physically, it's quite responsive to very minor differences in pitch--it's all around a decent piece of equipment. Only two criticism, which for $23 I can look past: first, it's a little slow to pick up the first note after being switched on, even if it was on only a minute prior, so it takes a few plucks of the string for it to register. Second, it was a fairly convoluted process to put the battery in, as the user has to push two pins in on opposite sides of the pedal and use a third hand to pull up on the moving part. Replacing a battery on Boss gear is much simpler. Then again, I'm glad I bought this and not a Boss pedal, as I'd rather spend my money on effects pedals or other equipment. Also, some reviews I saw before purchasing the product mentioned an overwhelmingly bright blue light to indicate that the device was active; however, the pedal I received has a significantly more subtle orange LED light, which is perfect (though I'm not sure if that's only because I have a battery in it, but I imagine it's the same light even if 9V DC is plugged in). If you're even thinking about getting this product... just get it. It's worth it.

Used on 2 tours. Had no issues and kept me in tune.

Behringer are fantastic pedals. I grew up with these from being like 14 years old. While I no longer use this, I use the polytune3 for various reasons. But it's an excellent, cheap and accurate tuner!!! No. It won't break because it's plastic. Unless you launch it at a wall..... It's just 100% a good pedal and worth it. I use my polytune now because it has a few settings I like having as options and also as I now play pro in front of big audiences with lots of fancy kit, I want confidence in my tone and noise, not saying these pedals affect tone or noise... But obviously the more you pay the better quality you're getting for your signal....and so I upgraded. 100% buy it, try it, you don't like it, return it for free... But I used it here live and you tell me how the tone sounds?

野外で使用することが多いのですが、 LEDも見やすく、反応もよいです。

Guitar pedal tuner works wonderful. Light on the pocket. 9v battery required.

Warning, does not come with a power cable
