POLYTUNE 3 MINICarrying on the POLYTUNE legacy, POLYTUNE 3 MINI packs an unprecedented amount of tuning power into a tiny footprint without sacrificing essential features, such as always-on mode and our audiophile BONAFIDE BUFFER circuit for uncompromised tones – making it ideal for fully-loaded pedal boards where every inch counts! |
Tiny Tone GuardianIs your signal in desperate need of a strong buffer circuit to save your tonal integrity from a platoon of hungry true bypass pedals? POLYTUNE 3 MINI has you covered for any setup, and then some. Thanks to its built-in BONAFIDE BUFFER, which ensures zero signal degradation and an extremely high signal to noise ratio, POLYTUNE 3 MINI is the ultimate 2-for-1 pocket tool for pedalboards – keeping your tone robust and your pitch in place. Switch off the buffer, and you’re instantly back in true-bypass mode. |
No Rest for the Wickedly Out of TuneWhen you’re on stage rocking out, there’s just no time to stop and tune up, even if you’ve gone a bit overboard with the whammy bar. With POLYTUNE 3 MINI's always-on mode, you never have to miss a beat. Additionally, there are 2 very practical DIP switches mounted on the side of the pedal that make it easy to go from buffered bypass to true bypass, and from standard mode to always-on. |
LED the Sun ShineWhether you’re performing in direct sunlight, under a massive light rig or just planning to be the first live artist on the surface of the sun, the bright display on POLYTUNE 3 remains clear and readable. And with 109 powerful LED’s running at full blast, you won't have to search for the display – it will find you! |

The standard tuning mode and the polytune feature are nice, but I generally use it only on the chromatic/strobe mode. I've heard it can also tune to 432hz and do other tricks as well. I tune to either E standard or Eb standard and it works great for that. I really love the strobe mode for the accuracy. I use the "bars" in strobe mode to get it close and then can use the strobe lines to get it as close to perfect as my hardware can manage.
I also appreciate that it stays in my chosen mode when I unplug the board and go to a gig. Pressing the little button by the power input can be fiddly while on the board, but I only need to press it when I'm toying with it at home. It's always gig-ready on the last settings I used.
The foot switch is great. There is no click. It just moves up and down smoothly, and a light tap turns it on/off. Same switch as my mini Ditto looper by TC.
I use the buffer for now. I have flipped the buffer switch a few times, but can't tell much difference in the sound when the tuner is off one way or the other. Maybe it will be more apparent to me in time. I use about 30ft of cable in my rig altogether, so I like the idea of a buffer at the start of the board. I have not used the "always on" mode.
I started with a heavy, ancient tuning pedal which looked similar to a boss pedal. It was awesomely accurate, but half broken and stuck in always-on mode, so I couldn't mute my sound while tuning. I upgraded to a donner deluxe mini tuning pedal, which is a nice size, but turned out to not be very accurate at all. It would get me close enough to be able to play, but I was never totally happy with my tuning with that pedal.
So eventually, I did my research and decided this was the best option for a mini tuner with guaranteed accuracy. And I was right. This guy almost never shows a string as being properly in tune and it's very easy to jump past that marking showing you as in tune. That is great in my opinion, as it means it is accurate. And I can absolutely hear a difference. My chords sparkle again and I'm in love with the sounds I get from this rig now.
The display is also nice and bright and easy to read from a distance.
My guitarist friends freak out when I let them tune my guitar and show them all the stuff this thing can do. It really is awesome and I'm glad I made the investment.
If you are a bedroom player, it may not be worth it, but if you are recording or playing live shows often, I absolutely recommend this tuner. It is about as good as any tuner can get and also in a tiny package. These are slowly replacing the old trusty Boss tuners as the industry standard.
This tuner is the most expensive pedal on my pedalboard and I am totally okay with that. I should have bought one of these years ago.
To help others and I did a lot of looking and research to find the best tuner but I had a hard time finding this answer, NO THIS DOES NOT COME WITH A POWER SOURCE. Yes I understand that if you are building a pedal board you will have a multi powbar source bar. For a noob, just getting into this, it could be a suprise that pedals normally do not come with a power source, so make sure you pick up a 9v/100Ma power souce to use this when you order. This one they call a negative center, and is the one that is a female connector or with the hole in the center.
Also, if you have only one guitar cord and you don't have a pedal board, then you will need another cord to go between the output of this tuner and the input of the amp.
Lastly, the way this is currently set from the factory, you need to press the pedal button to allow sound through, if not you won't hear anything through the amp and may thingk something is broken but I'm sure you will figure this out on your own.
