TC Polytune

[the guy who invented fire]

I picked one of these up to put on my small jam board and I have to say...I love it!

So much in fact that I am thinking REAL hard about putting one on my big board too!!!

Cool. I have one too and was going to sell it as I picked up a Turbo Tuner. Had I have played around with the Polytune and tried the strobe mode I probably wouldn't have bothered with the T.T to be honest. Both are great tuners and although I really do prefer the strobe and brightness of the T.Ts display I decided to keep the Polytune and I'm going to put together a quality but small and basic board too.

The Turbo tuner is a little more accurate (.02 cents vs .05 cents) but I also use the built in daisy chain from my tuner on my big board so the Turbo Tuner is out...

I'm really happy with the Polytune so far...I'm gonna use it at the gig this weekend and if I dig it on a dark stage and if it works as fast as I think it's going to it's going to my big board and a Polytune Mini will be going on the small board!

Yeah I forgot to mention the lack of power out on the TT which I was a little surprised at but I should have checked the specs! When I build my small board I'm going to try get 3 or 4 pedlas that I can just power from the Poly so that will keep it real compact.

Why do you love it so much more than what you had? Did you have one of those Boss pedal tuners or something?

[grapeskeletons]

+1 on the Polytune. I only have a small board, but I really like it. Mine's not so quick to respond as it used to be, but it works fine.

Mine's not so quick to respond as it used to be...

Now I'm worried...

How so?

That describes mine perfectly. Oh wait, you were talking about tuners.

Easy now!

I also want to say that it is VERY cool that TC includes 2 pieces of velcro to put on the bottom of the tuner...a small thing I know but still very cool!

I did...I've been using a TU-2 since about 2000 and never had any issues with it but for my small board I wanted a tuner so I could leave the TU-2 on the board. After a lot of reading the Polytune was the most accurate that still had the features I needed and wanted.

Yeah, I still have a TU-12, planning on getting a TT... it's just that the Boss tuners aren't true-bypass and aren't very accurate so all of the top 5 or so tuner pedals out there blow them away. It seems to be a pretty easy feat.

.......remember to get an iSomegadget for it too

I don't even know what that is...

[ErikH]

I love mine too. Very accurate, still responds great. The velcro they supply, while cool and it did save me time cause I need it on the board quick, will give out. The glue isn't the best. I ended up replacing it with heavy duty strips instead and I removed the rubber feet too. Helps with the velcro contact.

I don't think you'll have issues on stage. I don't, even outside.

I hadn't bought a new pedal tuner in YEARS....
Recently picked up a Poly and love it.
Never in Poly mode though. Only needle usually.

[Gunny47]

Glad you like it Christian! Gonna start a pedaltrain mini project over the summer and I know the Polytune Mini is gonna go on it! Can't wait for that to be available in the states..

[lex666]

I've tried 4 different pedal tuenrs so far and the Polytune keeps winning.

I just bought a Boss TU-3 to replace my TU-2. It's very accurate and locks onto the notes very quick. I went back to Boss simply because I'm used to the layout and my TU-2 never failed me in over 10 years.

Nothing wrong with that! Use what you like and know works for ya.
