MGR/Billy « TC Electronic PolyTune »
Published on 02/21/11 at 15:00This is the little white box from outer space that claims to revolutionize the way you tune your instrument.
Basically 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 pedal.
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.
