All user reviews for the TC Electronic PolyTune

a super fast and accurate tuning. I would post a notice because the previous negative reviews made me jump! maybe the pedals were defective, you do not understand the instructions or the batteries were dead, but then do not file an opinion at the risk of disgust a lot of people who will miss this pedal friendly. I am not in any way maquis with tc seller of this pedal and it's 20 years since I played the guitar. well I leave you, I will post a negative opinion on my lawn mower that does not work with diesel, and the gibson custom black beauty, it sounds ... not in my marshall ms-2 (the stack of 10 cm batteries) to the fact the display is enough on stage and when the pedal on and knows how to use it, is not faster in the west! and stop talking nonsense, it's not easy to get an idea of ​​the stuff, there are so many and when I see that some praise of shit not possible, I wonder. I know, my last sentence is irrelevant but hey, should not start!

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!

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 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.

I just got it.
After much waiting in dv247, and "finally we have more in stock" I bought it at Rock Palace. What to say. A tool gadget? Bah not that much ... Ultra reagent relative to a TU-2 (I still have on hand for this first test) Accurate, even in poly mode. And what about this mode poly ... 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 ... Short tuning time divided by 10 for me (well I exaggerate a bit).
Me do it again if I would do it 10 times and without regret ...

Bah I'm actually mixed.
Either it's great as a system, it makes a lot of time (between 2 kind song on stage for a check). It is super responsive (especially compared with my old Korg who was 18).
However ... bah how poly is false ... then it may be a poor calibration of mine. But I attach rope rope is just super. I play the 6 string, I systematically the low E which is denoted as too low, and other strings which have first a little red spot on.
If I give poly mode only, that everything is green, if I check bah mode string by string, is there any more, and this time, the guitar is wrong.
I tested with several guitar Industry Focus was telling me could be a sensitivity to micro ... same battle.

So in normal mode no problem, but poly mode ... There's clearly a concern.
It may just be mine ... I do not know. But for now I'm really disappointed ...

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.

I just came out of the store and tried to tear it off the tool.
Sounds perfect. I asked to test it to see if there were anomalies in the low E: everything works fine. Whether in mono or poly.

I can not compare it to the Boss TU2 tuner or other such as I had a poor Korg GA 40 (nice too).

In any case, it is very fast - it changes lives.
Forward to the next stage to be tested in real life.

I put 8 in the meantime the trial live.

FYI, I paid 72 euros at Star's Music in Lyon.
