    TC Electronic PolyTunePublished on 02/23/10 at 00:38
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    I use it since last week.

    Features:
    - True Bypass
    - Power 9v + supply output to power other pedals 9v
    - 3 tuning modes: tuning "all the strings together" automatically recognized when you play all the strings at once. We will enter the tuning of a single rope "when playing an open string at a time. There are two types of display are selected by a small "button" for this mode: The display classic type boss and a more accurate display type "circular" can be seen on the video demo QuickList (my preferred method!).
    - There is a USB socket at the rear of the unit, which is intended for technical service if the device fails. (I think) I have not tried to connect to my PC!

    Like:
    - The look at the iPod:) it's very design
    - The footswitch from the Boss TU-2
    - It provides power to other pedals. I feed with two distortions, nickel it works, I have no breath.
    - The accuracy of the display with tiny LEDs
    - Different display modes. Give a string at a time or all at once. It allows to quickly see if a string of tune without having to play all the notes one by one.

    I dislike:
    - None yet. We'll see about reliability, which is the highlight of the Boss.

    It's a great tuner, very fast (no waiting time), very accurate, looks nice, air-solid ...
    I tried the TU-2 Boss from home. The display is less sharp / clear, because LEDs used his larger and have a space. I have also found less reactive.
    I have not tried the TU-3.
    I would do without hesitation that choice!

    I use it for 15 days and this is my first pedal tuner format.
    The global tuning function works well, first installed in the pedalboard, even for a perfect myopic (light).
    It's a bit pricey for just a tuner but quite indispensable concert or rehearsal.
    An excellent choice.

    Great Tuner

    TC Electronic PolyTunePublished on 04/08/11 at 19:40
    This is very simple to use. Just plug it in, strum all of the strings, check which ones are out of tune, tune 'em up, and continue playing what you were playing. It can do tuning all the way from E flat to B standard, and is accurate within +/- 0.5 cent, which is amazing. It can tune from 435 to 445 hertz, for those of you who like tuning to something other than concert pitch. It remembers what Tuning, tuning mode, and pitches you use the most, to make it even easier to tune up fast and to quickly check your tuning mid-set. It has a Strobe tuner to show you even the tiniest change in pitch, and a needle tuner for those of you who prefer the standard tuner's view. This is an essential pedal …

It has a Strobe tuner to show you even the tiniest change in pitch, and a needle tuner for those of you who prefer the standard tuner's view. This is an essential pedal for every pedalboard. A Tuner is, in my opinion, the most important part of anyone's board. Making sure you're in tune, whether playing live, recording, just jamming with friends, or practicing by yourself, is one of the most important things in guitar, and this makes it even easier to tune, and stay in tune. The ability to check all of your strings' tuning all at once makes things even faster and easier to tune. I think it's a great option on a tuner. All in all, this is one of the fastest, easiest to use, and most accurate tuners available. It's a must have for everyone's pedalboard in my opinion. In my opinion, it's one of the best tuners available, second only to the Turbo Tuner. Tuning with this is fast, simple, and easy, which is what you want in a tuner. This tuner is everything you'd want and more in a tuner. This is an awesome tuner for an awesome price.

Certainly, we can not grant a string at a time, but between the time or the tuner recognizes the string height analysis (for each note) on the 6 PolyTune shows you the first arpeggio ...

    Hello,
    Before reading my review: I'm not a guitarist, but I bought a Polytune the guitarist in our group (the model expo negotiated because they had boxes in stock).
    For a few weeks he uses it and he is happy.
    He showed me how it works: it works exactly like the demo video.
    I put 9 / 10, because I feel that the bug is sensitive to the slightest movement of the handle (if you press a little on the handle while you turn the key string to tune, we see "Stork indicator of accuracy of the string in question.).
    This remark must laugh guitarists who have the habit of tuners!
    In any case from his point of view, it's great.

    Excellent all simply. Just look at the demo videos and say that it works the same.
    I bought after replacing my korg picth black (very good too, but unresponsive)
    I have a concert recently and it's great. the tuning is done in 2 Seconds and the public does not even realize it in general.

    Just essential for those who want pieces enchainer without taking the head.

    The Polytune is a stomp box size tuner that lets you tune your guitar or bass either in the conventional way. Where you can select the display to function like a strobe or needle chromatic tuner. Or as a polyphonic tuner where you strike all six strings, or 4 or 5 on bass at once and the display will show which strings are in tune, sharp or flat.
    This is super handy when between songs you just want a quick check that your guitar is still in tune.
    This replaced my Peterson Stobostomp on my board, which replaced my Korg tuner I used before that which had Buzz Feiten offsets programmed into it.

    In addition to the regular in/out 1/4 inch jacks, on/off switch, and 9 volt power supply jack you'll also find a DC power out jack to daisy chain power into the next pedal when you use an external power supply, plus the 2 soft buttons. One is to switch between needle and stream/strobo mode, the other to drop the tuning up to five semi tones. Comes in handy to use the polyphonic tuning function if you tune to Eb or D instead of the regular E tuning. To calibrate the tuner you push both soft switches and then can calibrate from 435 Hz up to 445 Hz.

    The display brightness auto adjusts depending on how light or dark the stage is. The one down side is that the polymode only works with standard guitar tuning, so open G, DADGAD, Open E type tunings you have to check in chromatic tuner mode.
    I'm running the tuner on the tuner out of my Ernie Ball volume pedal and leave it turned on. When I rock the pedal back my volume is muted but I still have signal going to the tuner. Checking and fixing your tuning between songs this way takes a fraction of the time it took with conventional tuners.

    Battery compartment is accessed via the thumb screw on the bottom.

    A top tuner!

    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    I use it for 2 months now.
    Before this tuner, I had a Boss TU-2 and even before a Korg DT-10.
    The PolyTune is by far my favorite: "normal" he is super responsive and the LED screen is very readable no matter the conditions, thanks to the automatic adjustment of brightness.
    And what about the poly mode is really new and very practical, it can check in seconds that all strings are tuned, that is really handy in between 2 pieces together.

    I bought it about a month ago, it is really good. Let me add a caveat, however the mode PolyTune not clear yet whether it could still be improved but it's really not bad for a quick check. Very good response, precise.

    1 month that I was offered. This is my first pedal tuner format. What I like: true bypass so no food no sound at all, silent tuning, highly legible screen (automatically adjusts the light intensity) despite a smaller footprint, precision made either in mono or poly-compatible with all the guitars / bass, nice look. But especially how poly super convenient, it is a breakthrough innovation in the small world of tuning. I would do this choice because you can not ask more of a tuning pedal, it gives accurate, is readable, easy and true bypass, solid box and drop tuning, chaining Food ... It offers everything you need ... for a cheap anyway, but it was a good gift! It's a pedal that keeps a life…

    Good tuner

    TC Electronic PolyTunePublished on 08/04/10 at 16:55
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    For how long have you been using it?

    4 months

    What thing do you like most/least about it?

    Good tuner, fast and bright. Regarding the accuracy it works fine in normal mode, ie single string (the former). Mode is rather polyponique bof, I would say the low E string is not just his opinion. It is called (after TC) because I slam my strings too hard ..... Other than that it works very well and fast in normal mode and it is quite enough!
    Ah yes this is not bad is the double jack for connecting power supply to power other pedals!

    What is your opinion about the value for the price?

    Correct

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

    unhesitatingly

    best tuner pedal format

    TC Electronic PolyTunePublished on 02/28/11 at 06:53
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    I use this pedal over a year now. It is extremely well thought out.

    The pros:
    - Read: big screen, lots of LEDs (109), light intensity varies with the brightness outside
    - Fast: nearly instant
    - True bypass
    - Several available modes (1 polyphonic, 2 color)
    - Extremely accurate color
    - Polyphonic mode to visualize the tuning of 6 strings at the same time!
    - Operates in drop tuning
    - Works also with low
    - Metal case foolproof
    - "Normal" price for unparalleled benefits (same price as the Boss TU3)
    - Can feed a second pedal (+ DC in DC out)

    The -:
    - Polyphonic mode does not work for open tuning agreements
    - Polyphonic mode is slightly inaccurate with low strings (especially the …

    The -:
    - Polyphonic mode does not work for open tuning agreements
    - Polyphonic mode is slightly inaccurate with low strings (especially the middle), but you get used to.

    In conclusion, this is the best tuner pedal format to date. She presses the competition in quality / price / performance.

    I would do this election? Yes, a hundred times yes!

    He is handsome, solid, small, and offers true bypass mode PolyTune.

    It is up to 2A power relay! A one spot offers 1.7 A!

    Unlike other reviews I found very practical fashion PolyTune! They specify in the instructions to set neck pickup and play the strings with your thumb: I tried: NICKEL! (Notice to other users, like you tried that?)

    He instantly finds fault in the strings. It is responsive, accurate and fair.

    True bypass, the most undeniable and the mute when it activates.

    The battery access is via a large screw below, you need a screwdriver necessarily damage but easy to remove.
    The brightness adjusts to ambient light to minimize wear on the battery.
