seems clutch to have for performances depending on how much a player switches tunings for tracks. cool its kinda small too so it ain't taking up too much room on a board
Strange. It should work for electric acoustics. If it can accurately register each string except the Low E, then I will make sure it's in the standard tuning setting. Hopefully that's the case because I don't have any experience with this pedal on electric acoustics and am unable to provide first hand feedback.
Hello! A dedicated output buffer is needed for setups with long cables and/or a lot of pedals; otherwise, the Polytune3 would suffice. Hope this helps 😁
Hello! Make sure the 9v power supply, input for your guitar, and output to your amp/other pedals are all connected. It should now turn on when you stomp on the ‘on’ button. Also, I find it doesn’t turn on until a guitar is connected. Hope this helps and let me know if you were successful! 😁👍🏽
@@RudyGOfficial its my only pedal. I have the 9v to the polytune3. I also have my guitar in the pedal and nothing else. Does the pedal need to be connected to the amp as well?
As long as the 9v power supply is connected, the LED screen lights up as soon as I insert the guitar cable to the input (right side of pedal). I then hit the stomp button. Four small red lights on the LED screen should turn on to indicate it’s on. When I strum the guitar, the tuner reacts to it. I can do all this without connecting the pedal’s output to an amp or other pedals. If that doesn’t work, I would disconnect the power supply and open the back plate to adjust the buffer/bypass switches. I currently have mine with the top switch ‘switched right’ and bottom switch ‘switched left’. Hopefully it’s not broken and you can get it working soon 🤞🏽
@@-Atmos1 I personally use the Super Snark clip-on tuner, which has the range of 415-466Hz. I'm not aware of a pedal with a range similar to that or more. Hope that helps!
@@-Atmos1 I haven't came across one by TC Electronic, but maybe look into the Peterson StroboStomp HD Pedal Tuner. This tuner has a reference pitch range from 390Hz to 490Hz. Is a bit more expensive though.
@@visible4225 Make sure your pedal is not connected to any power supply when handling the internal components. Hope this helps and stay cautious when handling electronics 😁
Thanks mate. Your review the only one I've seen that actually explained the innovative features of this tuner. I bought one! Love the T.C.!
Happy to have helped!
Just bought this pedal over the Boss TU 3 and the Peterson Strobo Stomp. After watching this video… I know I made the right choice! Great video❤
That's great to hear!
Perfect summary, thankyou
Not a problem. Glad to help!
Great video sir, thank you for taking the time to explain every feature 👍🏼
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 😁
Does the pedal work for all drop tunings?
seems clutch to have for performances depending on how much a player switches tunings for tracks. cool its kinda small too so it ain't taking up too much room on a board
Definitely. It shortens tuning time and saves space on the board, especially since it doubles as a buffer.
Great video!!
Thank you!
Why won’t this thing recognize low E on my acoustic Taylor?
Strange. It should work for electric acoustics. If it can accurately register each string except the Low E, then I will make sure it's in the standard tuning setting. Hopefully that's the case because I don't have any experience with this pedal on electric acoustics and am unable to provide first hand feedback.
Since there is a buffer built in this tuner. Do I still need a dedicated output buffer on the end?
Hello! A dedicated output buffer is needed for setups with long cables and/or a lot of pedals; otherwise, the Polytune3 would suffice. Hope this helps 😁
Does the buffer add extra noise? I have a JHS Prestige buffer and it clearly adds extra noise.
From my experience it does not add noise.
@@RudyGOfficialok cool and why are there two 9v inputs?
The
pedal reaches 432Hz?
@@Menestro Unfortunately, it does not. It's lowest pitch is 435hz
@ thanks
Does the 9v battery fit inside?
Yes it does 😁
@@RudyGOfficialhow’s the battery life with the 9V?
How do you turn it on? Got mine today and doesn't work

@@RudyGOfficial yes i think its broken now. I already requested a replacement. Thank you for the help.
You’re welcome and good luck with the replacement! 😁👍🏽
Is it possible to tune A = 432 Hz with this tuner ?
No unfortunately. The pitch range is 435-445Hz. It can’t go lower than 435Hz or higher than 445Hz.
@@RudyGOfficial
Thankyou for that quick response .
Any thoughts on the best tuner for
A = 432 Hz ?
@@-Atmos1 I personally use the Super Snark clip-on tuner, which has the range of 415-466Hz. I'm not aware of a pedal with a range similar to that or more. Hope that helps!
@@RudyGOfficial Cheers , just to add , have TC Electronic made an upgrade for the pedal recently so that it's possible to tune lower ?
@@-Atmos1 I haven't came across one by TC Electronic, but maybe look into the Peterson StroboStomp HD Pedal Tuner. This tuner has a reference pitch range from 390Hz to 490Hz. Is a bit more expensive though.
Can it go lower than 435Hz?
Say 430Hz.
Hello! The pitch range is 435-445 Hz. It can’t go lower than 435Hz or higher than 445Hz.
The back does not open
Hello! If you have the exact same pedal as mine, it should open with a flat head screwdriver.
@@RudyGOfficial wow thanks for replying so fast

@@visible4225 Also, if you suspect you have a faulty pedal, I recommend to follow up with TC Electronic or wherever you purchased the pedal.
@@RudyGOfficial one more question do you know how to stop amp from buzzing?
