Polyphonic pedal tuner with integrated buffer for electric guitar and electric bass
The TC Electronic PolyTune 3 is a professional tuner pedal featuring multiple tuning modes, a 109-LED screen and a choice of bypass between true and buffered. The original PolyTune made guitar tuning as simple as strumming, and now the third generation of this pedal comes with classic and new features. Retaining multiple tuning modes including polyphonic, chromatic, ultra-precise strobe mode and alternate, the PolyTune 3 comes with an acclaimed BonaFide Buffer to ensure the signal and tone remains pristine over complex pedal setups.
This ultra-compact polyphonic tuner gives you fast, accurate tuning and a high-quality tone tool in a single unit. Polyphonic tuning lets you tune all your strings at once whilst the lightning-fast chromatic tuner offers 0.5 cent accuracy and the ultra-precise strobe tuner gives you ±0.1 cent accuracy for an ultimate tuning performance. The PolyTune 3 automatically switches between polyphonic and monophonic tuning modes based on how many strings you play.

One of the industry standard tuners, the polytune tuner is fantastic. I love the soft button footswitch, the LCD is extremely clear, it has the full chord tuning ability, which it's rival doesn't have. The fact this tuner has a built in bonafide buffer is extremely useful too, which allows you to keep the clarity of your signal, without any tone loss. I guess it's a little expensive for a tuner, but £72 for a tuner with a built in buffer isn't breaking the bank! Would definitely recommend this product for every musician!
I normally wouldn't spend this sort of money on a tuner but I had heard such good things about this one I realised how essential a good tuner was, especially as I have been struggling with viewing my current tuner in difficult lighting conditions. The tuner came very quickly, and was very well packaged (some might say over packaged but for me... better to be safe than sorry) and came in a sealed box, something I haven't had in a while for my pedals and so always worry exactly how 'brand new' it is or whether it has been a store test model. Haven't had too much of a go with it but it seems to work well and I am very pleased with my purchase... 10/10
Bright in sunlight and dark venues great accuracy and easy of tuning, compact on the mini board I built and cuts signal when operated great for speedy tuning
