BOSS ANNOUNCES NEW TUNER LINEUP

“Stay Tuned” With the Latest Additions of BOSS Tuners for Guitar, Bass, Brass and Wind Instruments

Los Angeles, CA, January 15, 2009 — BOSS tuners are renowned the world over for their quality and reliability. In this spirit, Roland Corporation and BOSS are proud to debut a new full line of tuners for every price range and level of musician with the TU-1000, TU-12EX, TU-12BW, and TU-88 digital tuners.

TU-1000: Professional Stage Tuner
Featuring a huge, striking, high-intensity LED meter for visibility on dark stages or outdoors, the flagship TU-1000 offers ultra-smooth, accurate motion and superior brightness to make tuning fast and easy. Its large, unique floorboard design powers up to six effects processors and includes two audio outputs, including one with direct signal flow. The TU-1000 handles open and alternative tunings with ease, and will be the new tuner of choice for the professional touring guitarist.

TU-12EX: Chromatic Tuner for Guitar and Bass
A direct descendant of the legendary TU-12, the TU-12EX features the famous BOSS needle-type meter and LED tuning guide in a sleek thin-line body and compact size. New features include a flat tuning function (up to six semitones lower), reference tone, auto-off, and Accu-Pitch™, which helps musicians verify their tuning by sounding a beep when the correct tuning is reached.

TU-12BW: Chromatic Tuner for Brass and Wind
Brass and wind instrument players are now able to experience the quality tuning capabilities of a BOSS chromatic tuner. The TU-12BW features an expanded tuning range to correspond to a wide range of brass and wind instruments and the famous BOSS needle-type meter and LED tuning guide. Quick Response mode and a reference tone are available to check pitch when playing sustained notes. The TU-12BW also includes a Contact Mic and dedicated Holder to attach on music stands.

TU-88: Micro Monitor and Tuner
The BOSS TU-88 brings stylish, portable, and accurate LCD tuning to musicians at an affordable price. In addition to authentic BOSS’ tuner and metronome features, the TU-88 features a built-in headphone amplifier, so players can directly monitor or record sounds from stomp boxes or electric guitars with the built-in speaker simulator. Guitarists can also jam along with songs from a CD or MP3 player with the new mix input function.

The new BOSS tuners will be available in early 2009.
