I'm looking for a Boss TU-3 Tuner Pedal at a lesser price than its being sold everywhere else (£69) - anyone know of a 2nd hand one going at all?

I got one of these the other day

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rockburn-Retro-style-heavy-duty-Pedal-Tuner-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ270511754847QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Guitar_Accessories?hash=item3efbc1ce5f

Metal construction, cheap as chips and seems to do the same job. No Buzzing or noise (from what I can tell so far anyway)

Obviously a TU-3 will be better, but for price wise I think this is awesome.

Alternatively, ebay for the Boss. They go for £50ish on there.

TU-3s aren't better than anything, a tuner is a tuner really. They don't add anything to the signal path, so in theory there's no way should add noise.

The TU-3 is really slow to respond, especially on lower notes. For £14 less you can get a Korg Pitchblack, which you can use as a strobe tuner (which is far more accurate), it's much quicker to respond, and it'll tune from A0 to C8.

I much prefer the korg stuff, also - if you're not setting your intonation (i.e giving it to a tech/luthier) then there really is no need to have a mega accurate tuner to within 1 cent etc, it's only going to make tuning up more finnicky & take longer, which is no use on stage.
