Polytune Tuner - TC Electronics

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Fri Jan 08, 2010 8:04 am

So PGS has a little tuner demo of a Polyphonic TUNER that has yet to be announced what company it making it. I'm really hoping its Electro Harmonix considering they have this polyphonic technology down more than anyone else and its the one thing they DON'T offer at the moment. No matter WHO puts their name on it its a great idea for a pedal that seems very practical in a live situation

UPDATE: Its made by TC for $99 [thanks cobasics]

Looks great, but could do with a different display, I think.

Also, it wouldn't need to cost, like, hundreds of pounds.

MAZIN

My bet would be EHX as well, though it could be Korg. I don't suppose we should take the shape of the enclosure as a clue.

I wonder if you can go further with the drop tuning modes - like a whole step down or more.

i didn't even think about the enclosure. I'm sure EHX would keep it a standard nano/hammond B size and not bother with recessed jacks and the like. Its a great idea, i would like to see the display brighter or bigger, thats the one perk of the pitchblack to me. It has a niiiieece big bright display

Even the name sounds like a typical EHX name
Looks like it'll cost a fair ammount though

Man, I hope they keep the cosmetics the same, <3 MARKER PEN

edit: it's TC Electronics, check out this graphic from their site.

On the left there; same screen setup.

Apparently they had a page up about the Polytune, but it's not on there anymore.

totally.

i should really buy a decent pedal tuner. if this thing has a buffer i might have to get one when they're actually released.

it's not going to be cheap then, if it's TC.

TC = fucking expensive.

Fuck that then.

I wish they made a tuner with a switchable buffer/tbp like the Malekkos.

looks like just a take on the tuners that have an oscillating reference for each string, but with more than one display.

what makes this useful is the auto switching. pretty cool.

Its 100 bucks. Good Deal.

Wow what a win <3 tc for this

stewart · Post by **stewart** » Thu Jan 14, 2010 11:17 pm

it does seem quite enticing at that sort of price... but nah. i need bufferz, extra power source and the two outs on my TU-2.

Will · Post by **Will** » Thu Jan 14, 2010 11:31 pm

It has a DC out if that makes any difference.

I quite like it. Hmmm... This would be an easy decision if my guitar went out-of-tune.
