The warranty and replacement program for TC Electronics is certainly user friendly!
Last year I had two Polytune Mini's give up the ghost.
I had a two month old Polytune3 go down the other day, just completely dead.
TC Electronics is going to send a new one and not worry about the return.
I'm considering the Boss TU 3 Waza for my next tuner.
Is it just me and the Polytune?

I have 2 mini's and one full size with zero issues. Good to hear that they have quality customer service though!

I've been using my polytune 1 since shortly after its introduction. No problems as of yet. Shortly after the mini's introduction I purchased one of those for my nano board. No problems there except for an introduced hiss at the front of the board, so I put it last in the chain and it has been fine. I probably should have returned it for the hiss, but never got around to it and it works fine at the end of the chain.

PT-2 in use 3 yrs, no issues.
PT-3 in use 1yr now. Running in always-on buffer mode. Only complaint, footswitch remains functional in this mode, and if activated the signal chain is interrupted. One nice feature when 9VDC is removed the PT-3 defaults to bypass mode.
Could the Power Supply be the culprit?

I must be on an island
I don't understand my trend and statistics. We'll see if I can destroy a Boss TU3

I have a friend who had a Polytune go dead after about a year of use. I don't know what model it was. I was considering getting one until I learned that. I'll stick with my TU-3. Boss stuff is virtually indestructible. Actually the tuner on my board for the last few years has been the one in my Line-6 M5 multi-effect. It works great and I get the benefit of having all those vintage effect models, all in a fairly small footprint. $150 new.

I've got a full size and a mini and never had issues either. Could it be possibly be your power supply?

This new pedal the Polytune3 had been sitting in my Z - plus in line with my guitar. I was using a 9 volt battery without issue until there was an issue.

I use the Voodoo Labs also. Maybe it's just bad luck.
I like the tuner so much, I bought one of the minis for my bass player. It's the first I've heard of anyone having a problem with them.
