The TC Electronic PolyTune 3 is widely considered an industry-standard pedalboard tuner.Building on the original polyphonic tuning concept, the third generation integrates TC’s standalone BonaFide Buffer directly into the pedal, ensuring high signal fidelity across complex pedalboards and long cable runs.
Core Features & Performance
Polyphonic Tuning:Strum all strings simultaneously to instantly check which ones are out of tune.The pedal automatically switches to single-string chromatic mode the moment you pick an individual note.
Built-in BonaFide Buffer:Features a high input impedance (1MΩ) and low output impedance (100Ω) with a high signal-to-noise ratio (>112 dB) to prevent high-end roll-off.
Switchable Bypass Modes:DIP switches allow toggling between True Bypass, Buffered Bypass, and an "Always-On" buffered display mode that stays active even when the signal is unmuted.
Auto-Dimming LED Matrix:Uses an integrated light sensor to automatically adjust the brightness of the 109-LED display, making it readable under bright sunlight or dark stage lights
