COOL TRICKS!!! ★ ★ ★ ★

The first cool trick for the TU-3 is Bass Doubling. Step one plug your amp into the Bypass output then next plug the pedaly of your choice like a WHAMMY or an octave pedal into the output port. Third plug the octaver into a bass amp. Then enjoy the cool sound. The second cool trick is utilizing it as a direct box. If you let the output go to your amp and then plug the bypass output into your interface you will be able to record both your amp and a direct track. The third cool trick is the ability to split your signal to use stereo effects by removing your amp from the output and then plugging the two outputs into mono and stereo. After that plug both outputs into an amp for each.

THIS IS NOT JUST ANY STAGE TUNER.

The TU-3 is a personal favorite of professional musicians. It just an industry stand because of its reliability. The alternative tuning feature is excellent for slack key instrument. You can even tune a ukulele!
