All user reviews of 4/5 for the TC Electronic PolyTune

I used it for eight months. I had a Boss TU-3 before but I opted for the Tc PolyTune because it is true bypass. PolyTune mode works very well on a guitar, a little less on a low, there is more opportunity to get a good variety of tunings to set the mode to PolyTune its tuning. An output power supply allows the use of PolyTune to redistribute the power supply current that is connected and a special entrance connects the animal to a computer to load tunings in the pedal from TC electronic site (pedal toneprint ). I was using did not have all these features, I was using the pedal in color mode. Rolls Royce of tuning, we would have liked a screen look a bit beefier and I'm not a fan of the LED display, but ...

The price / quality ratio is good, I opted for the mini because it is true bypass, take up less space on my small board and not lose the characteristics of its big sister that I was using did not.

The PolyTune is T.C. Electronics' new tuning pedal. It is a quite innovative pedal as it is the first poly tonal tuning device. If you strum all open strings (in standard tuning it tells you which strings are in and out of tune. It also tunes individual strings chromatically. It is a simple on or off and true by bypass.

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.

Format tuner pedal, true bypass, beautiful display that's why I have taken
An external power supply output in addition to not lose an outlet on your power supply block
PolyTune mode is not 100% reliable is just to verify quickly made, I agree not live with this method I made to the former, it's still a handy option casually
on the other hand I use several different tuning mode between flat, drop D, open G. .. Hence the PolyTune we forget you have to press a little button on top to switch between modes is not very practical, hello waste of time ...
Another thing the machine does not show just flat sharps while small crappy tuners do it well, "kess ke c DSE pins ...."
Compared to the Korg Pitchblack, the above is PolyTune, metal box, button 3DPT, simpler display, flat screen (important for rack inclined), location and above all more reliable battery mode PolyTune

Polyphonic Tuner True Bypass pedals

In addition, when it is active, it produces a kind of Sufi dsormais weird on his pedals for a saturated damage should cut all his ... Can it be this problem is Submitted on mine!
Prfrant dsormais give me your ear, so I do not use more.
It is a good trs pedals!

For how long have you been using it?

I use it for some months now.

What thing do you like most/least about it?

True bypass, no "poc" is turned on, very handy feature PolyTune live, fast enough.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

Boss TU-2

What is your opinion about the value for the price?

Not cheap but not more expensive than others ...

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

Yes, without hesitation. It is true that the function PolyTune is not absolutely accurate and tends, with my guitar, to underestimate somewhat the notes. But in summary audit, to be sure that no rope is completely off, it works very well. The tuning-note is responsive and precise.
