## Description

TC Electronic Polytube 3 Mini tiny polyphonic tuner with multiple tuning modes and built-in bonfire buffer.

Review: Amazing tiny tuner! Serious players need this! - This thing is amazing. Never have I been excited by a guitar tuner until now. I love it and I haven't even figured out all of the various options this thing offers. The standard tuning mode and the polytune feature are nice, but I generally use it only on the chromatic/strobe mode. I've heard it can also tune to 432hz and do other tricks as well. I tune to either E standard or Eb standard and it works great for that. I really love the strobe mode for the accuracy. I use the "bars" in strobe mode to get it close and then can use the strobe lines to get it as close to perfect as my hardware can manage. I also appreciate that it stays in my chosen mode when I unplug the board and go to a gig. Pressing the little button by the power input can be fiddly while on the board, but I only need to press it when I'm toying with it at home. It's always gig-ready on the last settings I used. The foot switch is great. There is no click. It just moves up and down smoothly, and a light tap turns it on/off. Same switch as my mini Ditto looper by TC. I use the buffer for now. I have flipped the buffer switch a few times, but can't tell much difference in the sound when the tuner is off one way or the other. Maybe it will be more apparent to me in time. I use about 30ft of cable in my rig altogether, so I like the idea of a buffer at the start of the board. I have not used the "always on" mode. I started with a heavy, ancient tuning pedal which looked similar to a boss pedal. It was awesomely accurate, but half broken and stuck in always-on mode, so I couldn't mute my sound while tuning. I upgraded to a donner deluxe mini tuning pedal, which is a nice size, but turned out to not be very accurate at all. It would get me close enough to be able to play, but I was never totally happy with my tuning with that pedal. So eventually, I did my research and decided this was the best option for a mini tuner with guaranteed accuracy. And I was right. This guy almost never shows a string as being properly in tune and it's very easy to jump past that marking showing you as in tune. That is great in my opinion, as it means it is accurate. And I can absolutely hear a difference. My chords sparkle again and I'm in love with the sounds I get from this rig now. The display is also nice and bright and easy to read from a distance. My guitarist friends freak out when I let them tune my guitar and show them all the stuff this thing can do. It really is awesome and I'm glad I made the investment. If you are a bedroom player, it may not be worth it, but if you are recording or playing live shows often, I absolutely recommend this tuner. It is about as good as any tuner can get and also in a tiny package. These are slowly replacing the old trusty Boss tuners as the industry standard. This tuner is the most expensive pedal on my pedalboard and I am totally okay with that. I should have bought one of these years ago.
Review: Polyphonic tuning gives confidence - These pedals are awesome for all players. A quick and simple tuner with a buffer built in, multiple tuning modes, multiple tunings built in with a tuner that can detect every string and tell you which are out of pitch at a broad view. That's before you add in a solid buffer to tidy up tone loss. The noise level was zero. The pedal is built to be durable. It is easy to see, easy to read, and doesn't add any distortion with the buffer. Overall, great gift, great bag backup, great pedal.

*by G***A on October 19, 2025*

Just an amazing little tuner. It is very accurate and easy to use. The dip switches to change mode are practical. The integrated Bonafide buffer is a great bonus, but being able to exclude the buffer can be equally very handy and is a nice feature.
