Possibly some sort of electrical issue with the pup, cord, or TD itself. In any case, as a tuner, it’s solid.

Good luck and let us know how it works for you!
60Hz power line hum is half way between an A# and B. ToneDexter displays a B with the circle running fast counter clockwise. If you are in Europe then I expect it to display G or Aflat.

Power line hum is undoubtedly what it is sensing. Typically you should only see that when your guitar cable is connected to TD but not to your guitar. Edit: It seems to be normal behavior that when there are no notes played, the tuner hones in on the background hum.
