TC Electronic PolyTune 3 Tuner Pedal

Full Description

Fast, intelligent tuning

The TC Electronic PolyTune 3 builds on one of the world's most popular tuner pedals with even greater versatility and performance. Its famous polyphonic tuning technology allows you to strum every string at once to instantly see which strings need adjusting, making tuning faster than ever before. When you need maximum precision, simply switch to chromatic or ultra-accurate strobe mode for detailed single-string tuning.

Designed for every performance

From standard tuning to Drop D, alternate tunings and capo setups, the PolyTune 3 adapts to a wide variety of playing styles. It automatically stores your preferred tuning mode and reference pitch, so your settings are ready whenever you power up. Silent tuning mutes your output while the tuner is active, making discreet adjustments between songs quick and easy.

Preserve your tone

The integrated all-analogue BONAFIDE Buffer helps maintain signal clarity through long cable runs and larger pedalboards, keeping your sound crisp and natural. You can also choose between True Bypass, Buffered Bypass or Buffered Bypass Display Always On modes, allowing the pedal to integrate perfectly into almost any signal chain.

Clear visibility in any lighting

A bright high-visibility LED display makes tuning simple whether you're on a dark stage or performing outdoors. The built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display brightness to suit your surroundings, ensuring excellent visibility while helping extend battery life.

Built for modern pedalboards

The compact enclosure fits easily onto busy pedalboards while offering practical features including firmware updates via Mini USB, power output for compatible daisy-chained pedals and operation from either a 9V battery or external power supply. Suitable for both guitar and bass, the PolyTune 3 delivers fast, dependable tuning without compromising your tone.
