Boss Introduces TU-70 Autotuner
 February 14, 2000
BOSS is proud to introduce the affordable TU-70 Guitar
& Bass Auto Tuner — the first LCD tuner with a backlit display.
This low-cost, compact tuner is perfect for guitar and bass players needing
a quick and easy way to tune up, particularly where lighting is low, such
as on stage.
To make tuning easy, the TU-70’s backlit LCD features a super-smooth
tuning needle icon, resulting in a tuning resolution that is 30%-75% higher
than competing models. In addition to standard flat and double-flat tuning,
the TU-70 features an open tuning capability for simplified Open D, E,
G and A tunings.
Guitar players will appreciate having both the guitar string number
and fret icon in the TU-70’s display, making tuning more intuitive.
And bass players can change the display from the standard 4-string setting
to accommodate 5- and 6-string bass guitars. Because the TU-70 supports
both guitar and bass, a convenient memory backup function remembers the
current mode so users can quickly tune up from power on. To prevent unnecessary
battery consumption, the backlit LCD will dim after three minutes of idleness,
and the entire tuner will shut down after 10 minutes of inactivity.
