Review: Night and day coming from a clip on! - Was using a small tuner that you clip on to the guitar end and tuned with that for about 2 weeks and the sound just felt off, so after looking at many reviews on reddit (yes there..) people suggested this brand and pretty much any non clip on type tuner, so I gave this a try. It is NIGHT and day difference, the guitar finally sounds like it should and its such a good feature to not have to hear the tuning through the amp every time. Easy to set up, just plug in line with the rest of the pedals you have and press the button and tune away, press again and you are back to playing on the amp. A bit on the pricy side for an item that you use rarely (well depends on how often you play) but I mostly check before every session and all seems to be somewhat still in tune after a day, there is some shift as of course nothing stays in place even if you dont use it. Not too heavy to move about, the plug inserts are snug to the point that you need to put force on it to unplug which is great for places where you might be moving around a lot and definitely dont want it coming loose. Display is super bright, and you can clearly see if you need to adjust anything it will show as red if its wrong (out of tune) or green on a very bright one if its correctly set up. And its big enough to read even from farther than 6 feet. Works well with a boss amp and some yoyo overdrive pedals and a fender electric guitar. Do grab an extender for your current pedals as this does not come with its powersupply. Review: The best tuner, and a reasonable price. - Whenever people ask what the best tuner is, my answer is always polytune. Others have other answers but there is no other pedal that is as accurate, fast and has the polytune feature. To even get close, you need to spend double the money, so nothing else has the value. On top of that, this is a mini pedal so fits on your board without taking up too much room. And it has a nice display that's easy to see even at a murky gig. ## Features - Built-in, high quality BonaFide Buffer - Selectable True Bypass / True Buffer modes - Always On' tuning mode - Polyphonic tuning lets you tune all your strings at once - Lightning-fast chromatic tuner offers 0.5 cent accuracy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06Y4G7NQD | | Amperage | 0.05 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Multi-Effect | | Best Sellers Rank | 972 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 18 in Tuners | | Brand | TC Electronic | | Brand Name | TC Electronic | | Colour | MultiColored | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch audio jack | | Controls Type | Push Button | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,028 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05706622022202 | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Included Components | Tuner Pedal Unit, Power Supply, User Manual, Carrying Case | | Item Dimensions | 12.1 x 4.5 x 7.3 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.1L x 4.5W x 7.3H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Ultra Compact Polyphonic Tuner | | Item Weight | 0.27 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.27 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Music Group | | Manufacturer Part Number | P0CM0 | | Model Name | PolyTune 3 | | Model Number | POLYTUNE3 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | 3 year manufacturer. | | Product dimensions | 12.1L x 4.5W x 7.3H centimetres | | Set Name | POLYTUNE 3 | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | POLYTUNE 3 | | UPC | 653341327130 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 9 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TC Electronic - **Colour:** MultiColored - **Item weight:** 0.27 Kilograms - **Product dimensions:** 12.1L x 4.5W x 7.3H centimetres - **Style:** POLYTUNE 3 ## Images ![Polytune 3 Ultra Compact Polyphonic Tuner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XRBHBqfKL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are you restricted to tuning 440 hz? If not what other things are available?** A: The PolyTune 3 supports alternate tuning as well as changing the reference pitch. You can select the following alternate tuning modes: - Standard Tuning - All strings tuned down 1 semitone - All strings tuned down 2 semitones - All strings tuned down 3 semitones - All strings tuned down 4 semitones - All strings tuned down 5 semitones - 1 Capo at first fret - 2 Capo at second fret - 3 Capo at third fret - 4 Capo at fourth fret - 5 Capo at fifth fret - 6 Capo at sixth fret - 7 Capo at seventh fret Reference pitch starts at 440 hz and is adjustable +/- in 1 hz increments **Q: Does it hold a battery? What type of battery does it use?** A: The Polytune 3 can be powered by a standard pedalboard power supply (Voodoo Lab, Cioks, Strymon, MXR, etc.) or it can also be powered by a standard 9V Battery. Brian Meader Sales Manager The Guitar Sanctuary **Q: Does the true buffer works also for active bass with on board preamp?** A: The onboard buffer works regardless of the instrument plugged in to the tuner. With a bass with onboard active electronics you don't need a buffer, but it won't hurt anything to have it in line. **Q: Can this tune 10 notes lower than standard bass tuning? I need it to hit a low F#. 5 notes below a B.** A: Low B is the lowest I’ve gone and it works great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Night and day coming from a clip on! *by Δ***Μ on 7 February 2026* Was using a small tuner that you clip on to the guitar end and tuned with that for about 2 weeks and the sound just felt off, so after looking at many reviews on reddit (yes there..) people suggested this brand and pretty much any non clip on type tuner, so I gave this a try.
