Very precise, sturdy build, great display

Was looking for a new pedal tuner and chose between this and the Boss TU3. I'm glad I ended up going for this, as the display is huge and very intense, the functionality is great and the whole unit is very well built. Has way more features than I personally need, but still easy to just use as a classic tuner.

Seems a very good tuner

I'm not a huge fan of made in China pedals. This one seems to be working fine. It has an additional 9v power out. so you can power 2 pedals with one cable. Fast to recognise the note and automatically switches between 1 string and poly. I like it

Changes Everything

Lighting fast, mutes amp, very accurate, lovely display. World of difference to the clip on tuners. This is pro grade and really makes guitar fun again as apposed to when I was never properly in tune. This gets me tuned up and sounding great

Must have

The most used tuner. Simply the best, it displays clearly the tune of your strings. It's also very beginner-friendly, one simply can't make a mistake tuning his strings. Being very compact It's very easy to find space in your board (a tuner should be the first pedal you buy but this is another matter). Imo a really valuable function of this tuner is the buffer, very useful if you have many pedals. Like the title says, a must have!

In Tune & On Song

Great tuner I bought this after my long serving Boss TU3 began to have issues. Fast, accurate, easy to see, sturdily built. Nice size and handles Drop D tuning on bass nicely. I have tried several foot pedal tuners and would recommend this one at the price point.

I have 2 clip on UniTune's, this one, and Polytune 3 Mini Noir, best tuners in the world.

Don't need any other tuner

Bought for pedal board. Works great. Visibility is good. Nothing bad to say about the tuner pedal.

A very straightforward tuner

As the title suggests, this tuner pedal is quite easy to use and it can be a buffer or bypass based on your preference which is great flexibility for some.

Great tuner, tunes quite fast.

I like the switchable buffer and tuner-always-on feature, I just wish there was an indicator when you mute your signal in always-on mode.

DC Pass-through is quite the handy feature for powering another pedal.

I find the polyphonic tuning option a bit of a gimmick, as it is almost there in terms of accuracy, but not quite. Have to strum the open strings quite a few times to get a stable reading. Might be from too low of a tuning, your mileage may vary.

Overall, if you need something reliable and accurate, this tuner is it, just remember to hand-check the jack nuts every once in a while :)

Best tuner ever

Great tuner with some improvmenets over the previous ones.

I have had a Polytune 1 for over 10 years it is still going. This one is brighter screen and includes the bonifide buffer that may never get used but its there. Id say there is a small improvment in tuning reaction. But it works great and lets see if this one lasts over 10 year. Oh the soft switch feels better than the original as well.

Great product and so much more than just a tuner.

A buffer as well as a super fast, easy to use, polyphonic tuner.

For me the PolyTune 3 is ma must have for any pedalboard.

Brilliant feature includes having the ability to daisy chain the power from the PolyTune 3 into the next pedal, saving one output on your power brick.

Excellent tuner

I absolutely love this tuner, only thing I noticed is, that when running on the 9V battery power and I press the footswitch it would make a pop noise through the Amp, if you plug it into power it doesn't do that anymore.

The reason they sell a ton of these is justified.

It does the job and does it well.
