BirDCord USB
Powers My
Legacy Roland BOSS TU-8
Use Case
I accidentally got in a unique use case involving my Roland BOSS TU-8 chromatic tuner, which is now classified as a legacy product by Roland BOSS.
It's been such a long time since I used my Roland BOSS TU-8 chromatic tuner.
If I can remember exactly that was 2019.
If I can remember exactly that was 2019.
However, when I placed a fresh battery today, my Roland BOSS TU-8
won't just power up/turn on.
So, initially I concluded that the battery clip with oxide build-up might be the issue.
I thought that was the end of my bass tuner.
In the long shot,
In the long shot,
I might get it repaired by
a technician, which remains uncertain.
Then, a twist of fate.
Today, my BirDCord USB for
9 volts arrived, which was originally intended for powering up a T-Cube EQ-7 series pedal for my bass guitar.

Enjoy! (Also, do subscribe to my humble YouTube channel).
Lightbulb moment!
I did check the product specs of both, the TU-8 Roland Boss, and the BirDCord USB cable and guess what,
A PERFECT MATCH
MADE in HEAVEN!
BirDCord specs:
USB Type A
Converts 5 DC to 9 volts DC
with DC 5.5 x 2.1 mm
Center negative polarity
FACTOID: Yup! BirDCord follows almost all of Roland BOSS products
specs, and it says further on the BirDCord manual, "BOSS style"!
All right, so that finally solved my DC power problem, and also a new leash in life for my legacy
BOSS TU-8 chromatic tuner is not that that "legacy" after all.

As I initially suspected turned out to be true, the defective battery clip, which I will never be using anyway.
So, this is BirDCord USB is for keeps in the use case bucket involving powering up legacy products in my case 9 volts i.e., BOSS et cetera.
