TC Electronic PolyTune
Published on 02/21/11 at 15:00Basically the Polytune by TC Electronics is different from your standard tuning pedal because it can read all 6 strings at once, instead of having to individually pluck each string to get a readout.
You can opt to set it to what is called Monopoly and tune your strings individually if that is easier.
I was excited to finally see these in stores. I have heard about them for awhile. I bought one and it was $100.
The accuracy is great. I feel it is accurate enough to use for a basic intonation setup of your instrument.
It is compact, actually smaller than a Boss sized...…

It is true bypass, so when it is off it will not suck any of your tone.
The display can be adjusted to however you can see it best i.e. you can make it brighter or darker.
It is new on the market so I am curious how long it will last. What happens if it breaks? Those sort of annoying questions that I have no answers to. Other than that, the pedal performs flawlessly.
Feels solid. It can definitely take a few good stomps. I haven't christened it with having a drunk kick a beer over on it yet, after that, if I can still read the LED display I will update this to praise the Polytune's glory.
A step in the right direction. Don't be afraid to take a chance on it. A cool, modern and accurate way to tune.

I got this product from the manufacturer for review.

There is a lot to talk about here. The polyphonic tuning mode works quite well. If you know your guitar is out of tune, one strum lets you know which string it is so you don't have to go through all six. Murphy's law makes sure that it is always the last one you check. It also recognized if a string is only sightly out of tune. The LED's tell you how far out it is as well. If you play one string at a time, it almost instantaneously switches into single string chromatic mode. The chromatic mode is very accurate and isn't overly finicky. There is a needle mode and spinning mode for the LED's. Players that play in drop tuning, are taken care of because you can adjust the pitch down that it recognizes as standard tuning.
The only negative I found was that the polyphonic mode displayed my low E string as being flat when it wasn't. It was something I quickly adjusted to because it was consistently wrong between several guitars both acoustic and electric. I'm sure TC will get this glitch fixed. Also, it only recognizes standard tuning in polyphonic mode. I think the next step for T.C. is to make the polyphonic mode programmable to custom tunings.
It seems to be built quite well. I didn't have it long enough to test longevity but I imagine it will hold up.
This is a great pedal and when they fix the little glitches, it will be even better. I think it is just as accurate as the BOSS pedal but the polyphonic mode makes it a better pedal. It costs the same as the TU-3 and in my opinion is a much better option.
