Polytune 3 Buffer when Passive/Unpowered
Hi…
I recently bought a Polytune 3 tuner and set it to the Bonafide buffer via the internal switch. The specific setting I opted for was “Buffered Bypass” and not “Buffered Bypass Always On.”
The tuner happened to become unplugged, and I noticed it was still carrying the guitar signal. There was also no battery installed.
I’m not an expert, but I understood that only a true bypass pedal would function in this way–i.e., would carry the guitar signal when completely unpowered. Does anyone know whether the Polytune 3 should work this way when unpowered and in buffer mode?
Basically, I want to be sure the buffer feature is working.
Thanks for any feedback you can provide…
