Introduction

A tuner is a key and vital component on any serious guitar player’s pedal board.  However, for a 

pedal that does ‘nothing’ to your sound other than keep you in tune, you may find it irritating that a 

tuner takes up as much space as a regular effects pedal. Well that’s now history! Though packed with 

features, PolyTune

®

 Mini is ultra compact and takes up only a minimum of space on your board.

PolyTune

®

 Mini is based on the same technology as the original PolyTune and just as its big-brother, 

features our polyphonic tuning technology. This allows you to see the tuning state of all strings 

simultaneously when strumming all open strings, whilst the display will automatically switch to regular 

chromatic mode when playing just a single string.
