Yep I ran into that same page and read it over. But I don't intend to be stomping it like an OD box either, so it should do me for a while. My only concern about the Pitchblack is it may not be the most robust. Looks like it's TB and the cost is about $129ish? Otherwise, I was checking around just now, and it seems like it would have been a great contender. The TT didn't show up in that review, and frankly, I never bumped into it in any of the sales venues I checked. The Peterson is reviewed as being not TB and it's also about $200, so that was out for me. (Yeah, we had to select each string at a time, there was no tone recognition back then :D ) I had purchased another one when the button got screwy (forget the brand) and the Korg was way more accurate. My first ever tuner was a Korg and still works after 26 years, although the string selection button is frigged up. Korg has a good rep in tuners and I personally had good experience with one. I ended up choosing the Korg Pitchblack, which is TB at $85 CDN. So, part of my selection criteria (well the main thing besides reasonable cost) was True Bypass. It has a perfectly fine tuner, but I want to get away from a buffered bypass as much as possible. But if you ever decide to get more pedals, you'll have more flexibility in how you order your pedals, which is really handy.What I am doing is eliminating my Digitech RP250 pedal. The Polytune 3 is an excellent tuner at a good price, even if you never end up getting more pedals, so I'd recommend it either way. The BOSS tuner does have buffered bypass, but you can't switch it to true bypass like you can with the Polytune 3. Ideally, you'd want a buffer towards the beginning of your pedalboard (AFTER fuzzes, if you ever get any) & somewhere at the end, but that would depend on how many pedals you have. So if you ever decide to get into electric guitars enough to want a pedalboard, it will be incredibly handy to have a tuner pedal that can switch back & forth between true bypass & buffered bypass.

I actually considered getting the Polytune 3 just because I could use it as a buffer in my pedalboard, but I passed on it because I just use the tuner in my recording software (I would get one if I needed one, though).
With the buffer after my 3rd pedal, the difference was massive. I recently bought a cheap buffer for about $20 (Pure Buffer Mini Guitar Effect Pedal by LokFy), and I recorded a riff with & without the buffer in my signal chain. I have 10 pedals on my pedalboard, and boy howdy, does that kill my tone by the end. Well, instead of simply passing through, pedals with a buffered bypass actually have a buffer which reduce the capacitance of your signal, so you don't lose that high end in your signal! But there is an exception.įortunately, the Polytune 3 can actually be switched between True Bypass & Buffered Bypass. Think about it like rolling down the treble tone knob on your guitar every time you add a pedal in your signal chain. You still get some signal degradation simply because the longer the guitar signal has to travel, the more the higher frequencies get dimmed along the way (as in, you'll lose some of the "sparkle" of the tone). True bypass is a method of sending the signal through the pedal without it going through the pedal's circuitry when it's off. Note that the mini requires a power supply it doesn't fit a battery. And when I needed one for another board, I just bought another of the same thing. I haven't actually looked at another tuner since I got the first one. But, they also can store several different tunings, down tune by semitones easily, and can be programmed to power up in mute.which I really like. I have 2 of the ST-300 Mini Turbo Tuners.mostly because they look cool. Then, you tune those strings and do the multi-string thing again, and the ones you just fixed show red. If the multi-string thing was all green, at least a couple strings would be significantly out. It seems convenient, but it's the only tuner I've had that disagreed with itself when you changed modes (but not tunings or reference). I will say that I really don't like the TC Polytune. You can buy based on the interface you want and price.
