## Description

Product Description First introduced in 2010, the first generation PolyTune revolutionized the way musicians adjust their instruments. With many endorsement by professionals and amateurs, PolyTune has made it simple guitar tuning like "Strum - Tune - Play". We've added an important new feature of buffer while retaining common functions such as multiple tuning modes such as polyphonic, chromatic, ultra-precision strobe modes and alternate tuning. But it's not just a buffer. By incorporating the acclaimed BonaFide Bufferer into the PolyTune 3, the signal and tone remain intact with long cable and complex pedal settings. By combining two of the most powerful technologies into one pedal, PolyTune 3 is more reliable Legal Disclaimer From 11/2018, the country of origin has been changed to China. Previously, the switch between the True Bypass Mode and Buffer Mode was removed from the back cover, but this product has even been removed with the black protective cover. You will need a Torx wrench size 10 to remove the protective cover. (Torx wrench must be purchased at a hardware store. )

Review: 視認性が良い。電源供給ができる。バイパスの切り替えができる等良い事は沢山。しかしバックパネル開けるためのネジが固着してしまっていた。日本の硬化で開けない方が良い。ペンチも壊れた。パネルも傷ついた。昔の余った人民元硬貨でやっと開いた。固着したら無理をせず返品した方が良いですよ。せっかく良い商品なのに惜しいな。
Review: これは完璧なチューナーです

- All strings tuned down 5 semitones

**Q: Does it hold a battery? What type of battery does it use?**

**Q: Does the true buffer works also for active bass with on board preamp?**
A: The onboard buffer works regardless of the instrument plugged in to the tuner.  With a bass with onboard active electronics you don't need a buffer, but it won't hurt anything to have it in line.

**Q: Can this tune 10 notes lower than standard bass tuning? I need it to hit a low F#. 5 notes below a B.**
A: Low B is the lowest I’ve gone and it works great.

当方4弦Bassで使ってますが 4弦の反応がイマイチです。なので開放弦ではなくハーモニクスでチューニングしてます。 音や視認性など問題なく使えます。
