Boss TU-2 chromatic tuner....

[vandeleur]

This is in praise of my fav pedal of all time .
Every one here must have had one of these bad boys . Well anyone who has played in a shitty boozer carried all their stuff in and out and been ignored all night.
Bedroom guitarist need not apply.
This is the tuner for people who end up with their gear thrown in the back of a shitty van to get to the next gig.
I have had mine swilled with beer, squashed , trashed , stolen and returned i have had someone throw it at someone ( honestly).
This fucker will be sitting pretty with the cockroaches at the end of the world.

[Kristy]

It's a piece of shit.

[vandeleur]

Am sure they will use that in their next add campaign.
I like it, if your gonna fucking gig the least things that fuck up the better .
Hey , here is an idea post your fav pedal .

Criteria it's got to be one you owe/owned


What the fuck

[Kristy]

A $7 pitch pipe and time to learn how to tune by ear. All you need.

[vandeleur]

Fuck off , so the point of the pedal is you can have it running and tune up with out it coming through the amp . So quick tune up adjustments between songs even during ...
Try pipes at a festival gig or tuning by ear in front of being jammed next to a bass cab.
It's not for bedrooms it's for gigs :-)

Typical self-professed musician with their BOSS pedals:

Crap guitar player: "Hang on! Hang On! I've got to plug all this shit in! Anybody know where any outlets are? I'm a a musician! I have no job. I can't afford to keep putitng batteirs in these god damn things!"

The rest of the band: "Oh, for fuck's sake!"

Crap guitar player: "Think I left my extension cord in my girlfriends car and it's parked six blocks away. Hold on while I go get it."

The rest of the band: *farts*

*Crap guitar player comes back 15 minutes later*

Crap guitar player "Sorry dudes, stopped for a cigarette. So where are the outlets?

*a half hour passes the crap guitar player plugs of this shitty, over priced pedals in looking like a pretentious asshole in doing so*

Crap guitar player "Yeah, hang on, I gotta tweak everything...my fucking delay is off."

*the rest of the band packs up and leaves while the crap guitar player continues to self-masturbate with his pedals, tweaking this, tuning that*

[LoungeMachine]

He could have tuned up in the time it took you to "write" that little one act play

[vandeleur]

Damn I wish I hadn't stated this now

Six months for now you'll be putting that pedal up for sale on Ebay or Craigslist. Mark my words.

Two words: pedalboard required.

Same here...

[LoungeMachine]

Had it for years

But it would be much cooler to just hold a tuning fork up to your head during a gig....

Good point. Most musicans who use effects pedals usually don't invest in BOSS. The majority of their pedals are overpriced and noisy.
