It can power other pedals from the standard 9V DC output, with a power draw of up to 300mA The 109 LED display has a light sensor that adjusts the brightness automatically to suit the lighting conditions, or you can select your preferred brightness setting manually.

Key Specs: The Polytune 3 is a rugged, high-quality polyphonic tuner pedal, that automatically switches between polyphonic and chromatic or strobe modes. The Polytune 3 has a 9V DC output that enables you to power other pedals with a daisy-chain, with a combined power draw of up to 300mA. It also has an “always-on” mode that doesn’t mute the output while it is switched on, letting you check your tuning while you play and adjust the tuning on-the-fly. It even has an ambient light detector that adjusts the super bright 109 LED display for perfect readability in any lighting conditions. They’ve added the Bonafide Buffer circuitry which preserves your signal through long cables and convoluted pedalboards, and you can switch it to True Bypass if you so desire. If you are looking for tuning accuracy then the strobe mode is the one for you, with a +/- 0.02 percent accuracy, while the chromatic mode lets you tune within +/-0.5 percent. But the Polytune 3 is even better, it switches automatically between the polyphonic and monophonic modes based on how many strings you play. The Polytune revolutionized the way we tune our guitars back in 2010 when it first arrived, with its solid design, compact form factor, bright display, and of course as the name suggests the polyphonic mode which lets you strum all the strings on your guitar at once, then you tune and then you rock.
