From these previous electronic tuners we now arrive at the TU-3. The TU-12 and TU-12h were originally designed to fit in the cavity near the handle of the Boss 6-pedal-unit, the BCB-60. Prior to Boss developing the pedal form-factor, these tuners were housed conventional plastic enclosures that tuned using flat/sharp light indicators, and bouncing needles in-a-VU-meter-style presentation. The original inspiration for the TU-3 consisted of both the original TU-12 *and* TU-12h. The TU-3 Chromatic Tuner took the TU-2's existing functions and improved upon them by offering more tuning modes, and a greater calibration range. This is only mentioned because the TU-2 was itself a reimagining of the Boss TU-12h 'High Range Chromatic Tuner'.

The TU-3 is an advancement on the previous pedal form-factor TU-2.
