Rating: - * This is What you need ... This is what you need when it comes to fine tune your guitar or bass Live, on the Stage! Rock solid casings and jacks, the LEDs are just brilliant, precise tuning. The batteries wont die that fast. And it does not affect your tone. It's true Bypass. 5 Stars. Rating: - * Great Tuner ... A great tuner for performing or rehearsal. The muting effect is worth the price alone. Very versitile. The only tuner you'll need. I also own the TU-12 which is great but I think I'll be using this from now on, especially when playing live. You won't be sorry you bought this item. Rating: - * Tune it or die... ... I purchased this pedal to round out my newly purchased fender's effects chain. The intelli tuner I use on my acoustic guitar just wasn't cutting it, and the used Boss TU12-H I tried had seen much better days. Form-wise it fit right in with the rest of my boss pedals, it's rugged and easy to use, and I REALLY like the ability to mute the signal to tune or unplug and switch guitars. I power it and my other pedals with a 1 Spot adapter and multi-harness. A winner! Rating: - * The Industry Standard ... I've had the Boss Chromatic tuner for 8 years. I used it as a gigging musician for three years, and it was the one part of my rig that never failed me. It's simple to use, very durable and versatile (for both guitar and bass, and with half step and step lower tunings). Now I use it in my home studio - it's far more reliable than any other tuner I've used, gear or software. I've worked in the radio industry for over 5 years, and I've met a large portion of the alternative and active rock bands. When they come to play in the studio, they bring a Boss Chromatic tuner. I've had many conversations with these professional musicians about how they would vouch for it as their most indispensable piece of equipment. At $99 bucks, it might seem kind of pricey. But the rest of your effects pedals are worthless if your guitar isn't in tune. Even if you're just a beginner or a hobbyist, this is one investment you'll be pleased you made over and over again. Rating: - * Most durable and accurate plug-in tuner. ... I like pitch forks in my living room where I can tune by ear, but nothing beats the BOSS TU-2 Chromatic Tuner Pedal for on-stage, on-the-fly tuning, where your audience is your focus. The lights make the tuner easy to read even in dark settings. This durable pedal allows you to tune silently, then at the stomp of the pedal, you're LIVE! |

The real joy of the set, however, is nine NBA playoff games presented as they were originally broadcast and almost in their entirety. They last about 90-100 minutes with TV introductions and post-game interviews, but minus halftime, commercials, and some slower moments. The games include such absolute classics as the game in which rookie Magic Johnson started at center in place of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the 1987 "baby hook" game against the Boston Celtics. If you're used to watching current NBA games you might be tempted to just skip to the end, but it's surprisingly rewarding to watch the game develop, to watch the game's superstars strut their stuff (or see a couple of 1972 reserves named Phil Jackson and Pat Riley), and to observe how radically the sport has changed over the years. Variable picture quality and technical glitches are unavoidable (even the 2002 game looks washed out), but this is the first time complete or nearly complete NBA games have been available in the home-video era, and they probably still look better than the VHS tapes you've been saving over the years. Yes, it'd be easy to argue about which games from the Lakers' long history should have been included, and the highlight videos don't have a ton of replay value, but the NBA Dynasty series is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi
