昔はみんな持っていたBOSSの横型のプラスチックのクロマチックチューナーを私も使っていましたが，アレはとにかく接続しただけで音ヤセが酷くてトラウマになっていたこともあり，もうチューナーはギターとアンプの間には接続したくないとまで思っていて，クリップチューナーと，あとは普段の練習ではチューナーを使わず耳で合わせていました（私は絶対音感ではありませんが，Ａ音なら覚えているので，時報のプッ，プッ，プッ，ポーン！という音などを頭で思い出しつつそれにＡ音を合わせるとだいたい合っている，という合わせ方をしていました）。しかしこのPOLYTUNEは以前から気になっていて，今回POLYTUNE3が発売されたタイミングで購入してみました。
結論からいうとめちゃくちゃ良いです。今更ですがPOLYTUNEの特徴である６弦同時にチューニングできるポリフォニックモードが良いですし，私はフロイドローズなどのアーム付きギターを使いませんのでポリフォニックモードはいらないかなとも思っていましたがあればあるで役立ちます。チューナーに必須な反応の早さもかなり早く，６弦同時の感知とも相まってかなり早くチューニングできます。また精度もなかなかのもので，クロマチックモード（これも単弦を弾けば自動で切り替わります）で合わせると自分の耳チューニングの甘さを思い知りました。使っていませんがさらに超高精度のストロボモードもあるようです（ただそのモードへの入り方がまだわからない）。
またこのPOLYTUNE，トゥルーバイパスとバッファードバイパスの両方を切り替えられ，トゥルーバイパスの時点で昔のチューナーのような音ヤセとは無縁なのですが，むしろバッファードバイパスのほうが使えます。同じTC ELECTRONICの「BONAFIDE BUFFER」の回路がそのまま入っているということなんですが，バッファーとしての性能も充分で，長いシールドやエフェクターをいくつも数珠つなぎにした場合の音質劣化をその前に接続することで回避できます。しかもその「BONAFIDE BUFFER」が単体8000円くらいで売っているというのに，それを内蔵しているこのPOLYTUNE3はamazonで12000円以下ですから，お得すぎるというか，もう単体バッファーは用なし！？実際私はこれまで

I was on the fence about whether to choose this unit or the comparable Boss TU-3 unit. They're both the same price, and both get good reviews. I finally decided to go with this unit because it's a newer design and offered both conventional and "strobe" style tuning. The latter appealed to me because I have been using a Peterson Strobo-Clip tuner for some years, and really like the strobe tuning method. I decided I wanted a stomp-box tuner so that I could mute the sound and do quick tune-ups more conveniently than the clip-on tuner permits.
I play electric bass. I found that the conventional tuning mode on this Polytune 3 pedal was just fine for my needs, and I have not yet even tried the strobe version. It also revealed that I need to touch up the intonation on my jazz bass -- playing various notes up and down the fretboard showed some deviation from the correct tuning. All the more reason not to need the micro-precise tuning of the "strobe" style display.
When I say "conventional" tuning display, I mean a display that shows a needle that is positioned to the left of center if the tuning is flat, or to the riht of center if the tuning is sharp, and dead center when the tuning is correct. Some tuners have arrowheads on either side of center that light up when you are not quite at the correct tune. With this unit, the needle itself changes color, displaying as red when the note is sharp or flat, and green when it is correct. It is very quick to go through the four strings of my bass and tweak it for the needle to be green.
This is a chromatic tuner, meaning it listens for the incoming note and displays what it thinks the note is. That works fine for me. It is only necessary to know that the standard 4-string bass tuning is E A D G. There are handheld (not stompbox) tuners, like the Boss TU-12, that have fixed presets for tuning a guitar or bass, but that is not generally available on a stompbox.
The Polytune 3 has a "soft" pushbutton that puts it in and out of tuning mode. By "soft" I mean that there is no mechanical ka-chunk as the sawtich is operated. When the unit is tuning, the output is muted. When tuning is finished (by pressing the switch a second time), the output is connected again.
There are three modes available, which are selected by internal DIP switches. The first mode provides "true bypass" switching when the tuner is turned on and off, which means that when it is not tuning, there is a direct connection from the input jack to the output jack. The second mode provides "buffered bypass," which means that the incoming signal passes through a "buffer" amplifier when not tuning. (This can be advantageous in a number of situation, especially if long cables are being used.) In both of these first two modes, the tuning display lights up only when the tuner is active and the output is muted. In other words, you can immediately tell whether you are muted or not by looking to see whteher the tuning display is lit up. The third mode is also buffered, but the tuning display remains active all the time. Thus, in theory, you can watch your tuning as you play. I have only used this unit in the second mode (buffered bypass, display on only when tuning) because that best suits my needs.
There are many features which I may never use. For example, while the factory setting is A=440 Hz, it is possible to adjust this reference. Also, the unit is advertised as allowing the user to play all the notes on the instrument at once, whereupon it claims to be able to sort out which of the notes are off. I don't see any particular benefit to this for the bass, and I have read that users do not believe the tuning accuracy is quite as good in this "polyphonic" mode. Frankly, it doesn't take very long to tune 4 strings individually, and that's what I do. Since my bass keeps tune pretty well, it only requires minor tweaking to deal with room temperature change, etc. This takes no more than a minute at most.
All in all, I'm very happy with my choice of the Polytune 3. It's very easy to use, has quite a readable display, and makes keeping in tune during a show very simple. I suspect the competitive units out there (like the Boss TU-3 or the Korg Pitchblack) are also fine, which may make the choice more difficult in this category. All I can say is that I think people would be happy with this well-made unit, so hopefully that will help with the decision.

yeah i was on the fence about the polyphonic tuning thing and really was just wanting something like the little grey korg handheld tuner i have been using for the last couple of decades, read the reviews and decided to give this a shot anyways, glad i did, i will not be buying any other kind or brand of tuners for a very long time, this is so quick,easy and effective that it truly is a better way to tune. i'm glad i got out of my rut and decided to try some of this new fangled stuff, it really does work and it works well....it took me a few minutes of fooling around to figure how to turn it on/get power to it but beyond that pretty happy through and through, i had zero issues using the thing once i got it to turn on, i just did the normal idiot thing and didn't read the instructions and didn't know that how it needed to be connected in order to turn on, which is actually a good thing so the battery doesn't die when not in use...i wouldn't recommend anything else to someone asking me what tuner to get, i say get this one right here and to not look back.

Plug and play tuner for Guitar or Bass.
Strum all strings and see which ones are out of tune, or one at a time and dial in like familiar classic tuners. (This pedal detects whether you strum all or pluck one)
For guitar geeks, this pedal is even capable of strobe mode - a sensitive strobe tuner useful for intonation checks.
Engage the pedal and mute your rig for silent tuning whenever you want, or choose “always on mode” and get constant tuning feedback and mute with a stomp.
Handles Drop D on the fly and other tunings with a switch.
Small switch on topside changes tuner mode to handle drop tunings down to B and capo tuning all the way up to the seventh fret. Really? Yes!

I've been playing guitar for about 17 years and this is the BEST and most ACCURATE tuner I've ever used, and I've had more than a few, various brands and sizes. I would chose this tuner over any other brand. VERY EASY to use. It's EXTREMELY versatile- you can choose between true bypass or buffered (I use buffered), chromatic, strobe, or polyphonic tuning modes (I always use strobe), 9v battery or power supply, toggle between multiple tunings and frequencies and more. I use this tuner on my pedalboard and also on my workbench- it tracks notes almost instantly and the strobe mode is accurate enough for setting intonation. It has a soft touch switch, so there's no noise when turning it on or off. The display is perfect- bright, easy to read, not crowded, and the colors make it easy to see what's going on. It even has a 9v pass through that can power another pedal. Incredible. Cheaper than buying a tuner and buffer separately. I'd recommend this tuner to anyone. This is the last tuner you'd ever need. I might even buy another, just for the convenience of not having to take it off my pedalboard when I want to use it on my workbench- it's that good. I'm even planning on getting a Polytune Clip for my acoustic guitars.
Plus, it comes with easy to read instructions and a free sticker...which is always a nice bonus in my book.

I bought this tuner mostly because I needed a small stomp tuner. Checked out reviews and youtube videos and decided this was the one because of the tuning capabilities and true bypass feature. I also did some reading about capacitance added by long cable runs and using a buffer. TC’s Bonafide Buffer is one of the more highly regarded buffers, and its built into this tuner! I enabled the buffer via the dip switch (default setting is true bypass) and I was thrilled how much improvement I heard in my tone immediately. It’s also a great tuner. I’ve been using Peterson virtual strobes for a long time, so I enabled strobe mode and while the graphics aren’t quite as good as a Peterson, the accuracy is there.

I've been using the Polytune tuners for several years now. I own a few different ones including a Polytune 2 noir mini, and a full size Polytune 2. Some tuners have trouble on the low "B" and even "E" strings on bass, but the Polytune easily tracks the lower notes. The display is bright enough to see in sunlight, but not too bright that it causes a distraction on a dark stage. It's easy and intuitive to use, and features a pass through for the 9 volt power. It's built like a tank with its metal enclosure, and can run off of battery or pedal board power. Highly recommended.

I bought this to replace a previous tuner pedal that died.
I like that you can change up the function via the back panel. I have it set for always on with the button functioning as a mute. So, if I have a song where I'm playing a lot of open notes, I can adjust pitch if something gets off (gigs outside over the summer).
This pedal tracks well on my 5 string bass. Sometimes it gets a little iffy on my low open B, but I've yet to encounter a tuner pedal that consistently tracks that open string. I've never used the polyphonic setting.
Pedal sizing is very similar to every Boss or MXR full-sized pedal you've ever used.
Build quality seems good. TC Tuners are my go to. I used one of the PolyTune Noir's until it died (around 4 years of heavy use). I bought this as the replacement. I'm happy with it.

The TC Electronic PolyTune 3 Polyphonic LED Guitar Tuner works great. I added it to my pedal board and connected it to power (it does not come with an AC adapter, and does not use a battery). When I connected my guitar cable and tapped the polytune switch, the tuner turned on and with one strum of the strings let me know if any of the strings were out of tune. If a string is out of tune, just pluck that string and the tuner switches to a single string tuner mode and lets you fine tune that string to pitch. Once tuned, tap the pedal's switch again and it turns off. Very easy to use. I highly recommend TC Electronic's PolyTune 3 tuner.

I bought this from Amazon in May. It worked at first but then I started having problems with it. I didn't use it a lot at first and when it started acting up I thought it was my lack of knowledge on how to operate it. I had my friend (who also uses one) try it and it worked fine - it was during the timeframe that it decided to work properly. So, again I thought it was my lack of experience using it. I didn't use it for a while but started to use it again recently. It was working correctly for a few days then it started messing up again. I tried updating the software and changing the batteries and it worked again - for one night. The next day, again back to the same problems. I took it back to my friend and he tried it. This time it didn't work. Now, I know it's not me. Unfortunately, it was only had a 60 day warranty so I'm out of luck. I have read other reviews stating that other people have had problems ordering this through Amazon - received used ones or knock-offs. I will never buy something like this through Amazon. I am now buying a replacement from Sweetwater - same price and 2 year warranty.

This is the best tuner I’ve used. I love the polytune feature, which allows me to quickly check all strings simultaneously.
Easy to read. Super accurate strobe tuning option, selectable buffer.
What I also love is that it has a 9v output to connect another pedal to it. If you’re like me you have too many pedals and not enough power plugs. I wish more pedals had that!

5-string Bass here. This thing takes 15-20 seconds to register the E and B strings, and when you’re trying to jam, that time can seem like forever!
For guitar, this would be fine. It just doesn’t cut it for bass though, and I’m sad I hung on to it for so long (beyond the return date). I really wanted it to work. The way it is, it is certainly not worth dumping $100 on it.
