How do I Drop C with A Boss Tu80 Tuner besides using a capo.
i don't think you can
What is the best placement for a boss tu-2 tuner on a pedal board.I own a overdrive chours and delay pedal's
someone told me it dose not matter where you put the tuner.
I
It does. Put it right up front as the first thing you plug into, since it's transparent (won't alter your guitars tone or signal). If you put it last or after certain effects, you stand the chance of muddying your signal so you won't get a true reading of a note, plus god knows what kind of other tones your gonna get from a tuner with a chorus running through it.... especially if you're trying to tune with the thing on....and with a deep mix.
I have the following guitar effects pedals: Boss TU2 (tuner), CS3 (compressor), SD1 (overdrive), dunlop wah, dunlop volume ped, Boss RV2 (reverb), DD3 (delay), CH1 (chorus), and finally NS3 (noise suppressor).
This concerns the NS3. It's got send-return jacks on it, besides the input-output jacks, and I'm trying to decide if they're worth using.
Here's my current chain:
Guitar - TU2 - vol - wah - CS3 - SD1 - Input to NS3 - Output frm NS3 to Input of amp; Effects send from amp - CH1 - DD3 - RV2 - Effects Return to amp.
But, would a better chain be one like:
Gtr - Input to NS3 - Send from NS3 to vol - wah - CS3 - SD1 - Return to NS3 - Output from NS3 to Input of amp; then Effects Send from amp - TU2 - CH1 - DD3 - RV2 - Effects Return to amp.
I'm hopeful some knowledgeable fellow guitarists can follow that and give some advice on setups that work. I know it's an individual thing, just want some ideas on what you guys do or would do.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Always put the Noise Suppressor at the end of the chain with your overdrive pedal.
The NS3's function is to silence any extra noise coming from the other pedals, so if you put it first, how can it silence anything?
Extra noise usually comes from the overdrive/distortion pedal, so put it at the end of that chain.

I dont have that tuner, but there are 2 ways I tune to D that may help you.
One way is to play your E and D strings at the same time. Then downtune the E string until it sounds the same as your D.
The other way I do it with my tuner is if it just displays what Key the string is in, just tune the E string to where you tuner says D instead.
I got a guitar tuner last week and for some reason when i play, say the low E key it picks it up as b for some reason and then the pointer to show if its tuned jumps around, i tried changing the batteries and it did not work. How do i fix it i was going to send them an email but you have to put in a bunch of info and I dont want to go through that can anyone please help me???
I want to tune my acustic guitar to standard tuning. It shows "guitar bbbb''. Is that standard tuning? How many b's need to show (I think they might be notes), and should I have it on chromatic, or guitar?
Try chromatic. Most chromatic tuners will indicate the note you're closest to when you play them.
Be sure your battery is in good shape . . . a lot of tuners "get stupid" when the battery is low. Also, especially with an acoustic, try to turn down the TV and stereo when you're trying to tune.
Standard tuning for guitar is E A D G B E
Hope this helps.
i have a small korg tuner, it works good but i can only do normal tuning on it. i cant do any other tuning like drop d!
i also have the tuner from my boss me-50, works great. i can do all kinds of tuning. however the korg and boss tuners tune a little different.
i dont know which is right but the boss tuner tunes higher than the korg, or vise vers.
i saw this intellitouch one that tunes using the vibrations rather than sound.
but is that reliable? does that make for a better tuning?
can the intellitouch work for different tunings like drop d?
It's the best tuner on the market in my opinion. I've used one for years and so have most of my guitar-playing friends. I use it on my acoustics exclusively but I believe it's just as effective on electric. The main benefit is that you can use it no matter how noisy the environment is, since as you pointed out it uses vibrations. It is easy to use, accurate, and yes, you can use it for drop tunings since it's fully chromatic. It's not inexpensive but it's worth every penny. Go for it.
currently running from amp to guitar: boss chromatic tuner- boss ge 7 eq- boss digital delay- boss flanger- danelectro chorus- boss metal zone- ibanez tube screamer- dunlop wah what else should i get? help me make the decision...
i agree with the compressor that will make your sound better
Mine is as follows: Les Paul/Tele/G&L Legacy>Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah>Fulltone Fulldrive II Mosfet>Fulltone OCD>Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9 Turbo>Keeley Katana Boost>Analogman Clone Chorus>Boss DD3 Delay>Boss TU2 Tuner>Reissue '65 Super Reverb....... I just got one of those Fender Blender pedals and am not impressed so I don't think it will make its way onto the board.
Nice. That's an expensive chain.
Fender Jaguar>Slash Sig Crybaby Wah Pedal with Distortion Circuit>BOSS DS-1 Distortion Pedal>MXR EVH-117 Eddie Van Halen Phlanger>BOSS RC-20XL Loop Station>BOSS TU-2 Chromatic tuner>EVH 5150 III HD Guitar Amp Head>Marshall Half Stack
Yummy.
I am building a pedal board, and i know the order you chain your pedals is important. please help. this is what i have:
1. Boss AC2 acoustic simulator
2. Line 6 DL4 delay
3. Dunlop Cry Baby wah
4. Boss Tremolo
5. Boss Chorus
6. Boss Tuner pedal
thank you for your time!
the best answer I can give is....WHATEVER SOUNDS BEST TO YOU!!!!
the standard and most common starting point...will put your *tuner first, the *wah (envelope type effects), next put the *acoustic simulator, then personally I would try the *tremolo after that, followed by the *chorus, last, *delay. now in the future you may get a distortion/overdrive pedal, people will generally put that before the chorus/phase type pedals. personally I would run the guitar straight to the tuner, simulator, wah (in that order) to the amp, effects loop output to the trem, chorus, and delay, back to the loop input on the amp (in that order).
Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner review.
For the budding guitarist one of the best ways to learn music is to play along with familiar tunes, and for more experienced axemeisters, the ability to build songs using loops and backing tracks is an important writing tool. The BOSS eBand JS-8 Audio Player is a versatile solution that suits both scenarios. Designed for guitarists who play and practice at home, the portable eBand has a built-in speaker stereo system and offers preset guitar sounds and effects, functions to change tempo and pitch and the ability to record sessions.
eBand is marketed for guitarists who want to learn songs, solos and riffs, practice new songs outside of band practice, or create new songs while jamming with audio tracks. If a user prefers to play along to a song from their own music collection, it can be loaded onto the audio player via USB memory stick or a SDHC memory card up to 32GB. eBand also has the ability to import songs from any audio CD using the included utility software.
The audio player allows the user to mix things up and create new sounds. It features COSM preamp technology, which works by using multiple modeling methods to accurately emulate the existing sound, and guitar effects derived from the BOSS GT-10 pedal. Pre-recorded vocals or guitar parts can be minimized and there's 300 audio-loop phrases onboard for backing tracks and rhythms.
To help keep guitarists on time and in key, tuner and metronome functions are built in. eBand also has a record function which is capable of saving an entire performance. After all, jamming alone wouldn’t be much fun if you couldn’t show off your creations to your band.

I've heard worse than these, except for "The Christmas Shoes". "Feliz Navidad" does get on my nerves when heard for the 100th time. But most Christmas songs are actually pretty lame if looking at them from an artistry perspective. What affects the like/dislike quotient may have to do with the era that you grew up in. Most of these songs are from the late 70's, early 80's and that is what I know, in addition to songs prior to that. So they bring back all those joyful memories. On the other hand, I have trouble associating with some of the songs that they released today for Christmas. Are they any worse or better than these on the list? I think people will vary on their opinion. One of my favorite tunes, "Christmas in Hollis" by Run-DMC may not evoke much from someone in Wisconsin but to me, a former NYer, it brings back all types of fun memories.
As a final comment, I do like most of these songs to some degree although I found Rafael's comments extremely funny on them (especially the one from Band-Aid).
