PolyTune® - Reviews & Awards

Premier Guitar Award 2010
For anyone who has ever heard their tuning go sour on stage and not been certain of the culprit, the PolyTune has the potential to save a lot of time and embarrassment. [...] ...the PolyTune has already drastically changed the way many players tune onstage - and its USB port enables you to download future software updates (including new tuning compatibilities) from TC.

PolyTune Reviews

Guitar World
THE POLYTUNE IS an essential lifesaver for time-pressed gigging guitarists and perfectionist studio players. It shaves precious seconds off the tuning process while it provides dead-accurate tuning.

Brett Nation
Right from the very moment I connected the battery, plugged myself in, and the unit booted itself up - I knew all their claims were true.

Guitar Player
The PolyTune’s “one strum and done” operation dropped my between-song tuning time to 5 seconds or less. I can instantly see if my tuning is cool, or if I just need to adjust, say, just the G and B strings.

Guitar Noize
TC Electronic say “We can’t make tuning fun. But we can sure make it a whole lot easier.”, I disagree, tuning just got fun!

Mike Rivers - Useful Audio Stuff
The only method I could come up with for generating a test signal for the polyphonic mode was to record a strum after getting the guitar in perfect tune (as indicated on the display), loop it, then play it back into the PolyTune. This demonstrated the tuner to be consistent with every pass through the loop, so whatever it’s telling me, it really believes it, and that’s a good thing.

Premier Guitar
Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure I’ve traded it (the tuner) out only two or three times [...] Does the PolyTune qualify to be a rare entry in that list of tuners? Most definitely. Its tuning accuracy, useful polyphonic mode, small footprint, and the ability to power other pedals make it one of the best pedal tuners I’ve ever encountered - especially at its price point.

Share My Guitar
"If you’re a cutting edge Poly Tuner - go for it! If you’re old school, go string by string – doesn’t matter. The PolyTune will get you there quickly and reliably one way or another."

MIPA 2010
PolyTune won the MIPA award at musikmesse 2010 in Frankfurt

Music Radar
It comes in a robust, space-efficient metal case and practical niceties include input and output jacks mounted securely at the same height as standard Boss Compacts (and indeed many other compact pedals out there) so you can use cable-less straight plugs.

The readout is exceptionally clear on the big screen, and that includes the poly application [...] You’re looking at a pedal at a competitive price, then, that will impress even dyed-in-the-wool fans of other products.

Produção Audio
Conforma a marca afirma, o PolyTune é uma autêntica revolução para quem toca guitarra.
