tc electronic Polytune 3 Noir Reviews

Tuner and buffer!

Both the tuner and buffer work great. The display is very easy to read and being able to quickly check all the strings during a live gig saves time. The simple features of this tuner all function well and I can't imagine adding anything else to a tuner for guitar.

Great tuner

Screen is easy to read and not too bright, very accurate chromatic tuning, can also be used as an off switch for changing instruments.

Small footprint, many functionalities!

This little dude does what it says on it. The built in buffer and the small footprint is great for anyone who has ridiculously oversized pedalboards like I do.

A perfect piece of gear

Very happy with the purchase! It works as should and interracts with my guitar easily.

Excellent tuner

Only the best can be said about this tuner - small, precise - really excellent

Compact and accurate, but no bass mode for poly tuning

Does not have a bass mode for polyphonic tuning, which was a bit of a disappointment, but other than that it's really great. (Probably wouldn't have used the poly mode that much anyway.)

Compact Perfection

Cool compact pedal that sits nicely on any board. Black look is stylish and subtle.

Whether tuning one string at a time or strumming all strings, the dynamic display is very easy to use.

Polytune 3 Noir

This tuner fits on every pedalboard. It has a great display that is well visible when it is dark on stage. Of course, the price is affordable.

Does tuning very well

but buffer on or off has no effect on sound, nothing at all.

i think my pedal is broken or buffer is always on..

Looked like packaging had been opened when i got it, one of the stickers was missing.

So difficult to send these back to germany.

edit: has been working well for me, im keeping it always on with a buffer.

Love it

Pedal that everyone needs and it gets the job done ✅

Brilliant little pedal, simply and accurate

Love this low footprint pedal in black which bright LEDs. Very accurate "non-clicking" switch

Great little tuner

You can't really go wrong with this tuner on your board. I really like the buffered "always on" mode, where a quick glance on the display will give quick feedback on the tuning status.

Close to perfect

Overall great. The only minor issue is that the polyphonic tuning shows a couple of strings just a bit off compared to individual tuning.

Always in Tune!

Best pedal tuner out there period!

Truly a must on every pedalboard

Great and precise tuner, what could you ask more of it? It works really well, it accurate and saves a lot of space on the pedalboard. Quality is perfect. It’s all you can ask from a tuner!

Solid small tuner

Very small, stylish, does the job. I have a feeling that it could be more precise, but maybe it's just a feeling. Very recommended.

great tool from TC

I have more pros to say about this pedal than cons. The pros are the quality of the electronic features, many tuning are available to use even some features in need to study them more to understand the use, but all work fine actually. The cons will be the footswitch, it hurts a little bit the foot when you press it, need to wear some shoes to use it, it is better.

Great, simple, small

Easy yet flexible, well built product.

My Go To Tuner!

Small but mighty. No issues and the noir finish looks great.

Flexible and Reliable

This sits at the head of my pedalboard always on buffered because I have it between a sensitive fuzz and the next pedal which is an always on overdrive. Having the option to run as always on is a nice feature to have for a quick reference during a set and still with the ability to mute should the need arise.

Having the option to switch between true bypass and buffered offers flexibility for a variety of pedalboard setups. If you want to use a buffer for a long cable run, you can; if you want true bypass across the board, you can as well.

Pros:

- Fits almost any board thanks to its small size.

- Functionally flexible.

Cons:

- (Only a minor one) It does require a power supply since batteries aren't an option.

It serves it's purpose and it serves it well and it will be staying on my board for the foreseeable future.
