Boss TU-3W Waza Floor Tuner

First I have to say I am a Boss fan and I am slowly collecting all the pedals in the Waza Craft series. So I will not return this pedal but I cannot fully recommend it!

It is a beautiful pedal looks so much better than the standard TU-3 version that at first sight I was in love with it... and for this alone and the Boss quality, it already deserves some stars. So what are my problems with this pedal:
First is the led light schemes. As pointed out by other reviewers it is really difficult to read the tunning when close to perfect. The blue led obscures the green and you might be playing slightly out of tune. You can find an angle to perfect see the tunning but takes time...not ideal in live situations.

Second is the supposedly better buffer which I do not hear any difference from the standard TU-3. Yes you can head the difference between the buffered and true bypass signal but not between the buffered bypass in both versions of the pedal. I actually like the fact it has a true bypass option as i already have a buffer on my board. As a matter of fact, the bonafide buffer in my TC-polytune is better than the Boss buffer in the TU-3w.

Concluding my sincere opinion is the following:
The Boss TU-3w is a very expensive tuner pedal for what it brings up the table. It is not better than the standard TU-3 which costs half of the price (or 3x less in used market) and the only exclusive feature is the true bypass. And ok it looks gorgeous but is also more difficult to tune than the standard TU-3 which brings the question if looks matter that much...
