TC Electronic Polytune Classic

THIS ITEM IS USED - Sold As Is.

In Good used condition. Signs of wear on the paint, and very light residue from velcro adhesive on the back. Cosmetic scratches on the screen, but still easy to see, even in bright light. It works as it should.

Woozle’s Review:

This was a very solid tuner for a very long time. Works great, even if you tune your instrument a half step down or further. (I was in open D for a long time, and it worked great. I loved the strobe setting for single string tuning, but it works great in the other mode as well.

About this item:

No matter how sweet your rig is or how expansive your effects are, you're dead in the water if your strings are out of tune. Monochromatic tuners have been the the industry standard for decades, but TC Electronic, always eager to innovate, decided to take tuning into polychromatic territory. Enter the Polytune.

The Polytune's main attraction is TC Electronic's claim that a guitar can be fully tuned by playing a chord. The Polytune sorts the out of tune strings, you make a quick adjustment, and you're back in the game. While this feature can be inconsistent, it's still important to take into account that the Polytune functions perfectly as a monochromatic tuner and is quickly gaining traction in the guitar world as an industry standard, thanks to its incredibly easy-to-read display and instant response time.

When used as designed, it can significantly cut down on your tuning time. By simultaneously recognizing the tuning of all your strings, the out-of-tune culprits can be immediately spotted and dealt with, saving valuable stage time when you're standing there dawdling with your tuner between songs. The brightly-lit LED display is easy to read and clearly delineates a string's tuning, even on the darkest stages with the densest fog. With a little time to get acquainted with the pedal and some practice, the Polytune can go head-to-head with the Boss TU-2.

What if I prefer traditional styles of tuning?

The Polytune is equally as effective as a traditional tuner. While many flock toward the established name of the Boss TU-2 as the best in the business, TC Electronic have created a highly accurate tuner with a bit more under the hood than a traditional model. Its durability is as robust, and for what it's worth, we prefer the large LED display to Boss' comparatively small light strip.
