TC Electronic Polytune

I know this isn't about tone, but having a well-tuned guitar is incredibly important. I've played with enough guitarists with out-of-tune guitars and it's scary how many of them couldn't tell. I think a lot of it has to do with placing so many effects in the signal chain that they can't identify the original sound. First thing I've always suggested to them is to get a good chromatic tuner, at least a Boss TU-3.

The TC Electronic Polytune is the first tuner I've seen that's made me think about replacing my trusty Boss TU-2 (now replaced by the Boss TU-3). Well, ok, there have been a few others, such as the Peter Strobostomp but none have made me part with money yet. This may just achieve that.

I like the idea of strumming the open strings and having it identify each string that needs tweaking. That could be really useful.

But now, tuning is ready to get blasted into the 21st century with PolyTune, the stomp-box-sized tuning miracle from TC Electronic. The magic lies in an approach to tuning aimed at speed, accuracy and ease of use. With PolyTune, you simply strum all strings on your guitar or bass at once, and it will immediately tell you which strings need tuning. It really is as simple as strum, tune, and rock. This leap forward in tuners allows you to get in tune fast, and back to doing what you love—playing.Strum, tune, and rock Providing an instant overview of the pitch of all your strings, PolyTune is an invaluable tool in live-settings, where it is essential to be in tune quickly and ready to play.

Besides live use, this stomp box will deliver like no other in any situation where you want to get tuning out of the way and focus on play.Fever pitch Equally effective for guitar and bass, PolyTune is extremely flexible as well. The reference pitch can be set to your preference and ranges from 435Hz to 445Hz. This guarantees you'll be able to play along with anyone, with any instrument and in any situation.Drop it like it's hot If you are a guitarist that likes to play at a different pitch than standard, this is your go-to pedal, allowing for dropped tunings from E-flat all the way down to B.

Tuning modes The two separate chromatic tuning modes cater to your individual preferences and needs. Needle mode is for those that are used to the classic view on a tuner. Stream-mode is for musicians that want a little more real-time information. The Stream mode measures even the slightest pitch variation and instantly feeds the info back via a rotating motion on the display.Tuning magnet Key to both these great chromatic modes is an ultra-fast and precise response, which is achieved via the use of the unique tuner magnet feature. This slows down the needle once you get close to the desired pitch, making it much easier to get the job done quickly.MonoPoly Whether you want to use the polyphonic tuner to get in tune, or prefer to go the chromatic route, this pedal has you covered. PolyTune features "MonoPoly", a unique patent-pending technology that recognizes whether you play one or more strings and instantly replies with the appropriate poly- or monophonic tuning mode.Total recall Of course, all of these amazing features would not mean a thing if they were a pain to use or set up.
