Tuning
used to be a necessary evil. The last
barrier before you could get truly rocking.
But now, tuning is ready to get blasted into
the 21st century with PolyTuneTM,
the stomp-box sized tuning miracle from TC
Electronic!
PolyTuneTM
is the world's first polyphonic tuner, and a
game-changing total tuning turnaround that
will have future guitarists wondering how we
ever got by without it. |
|
It
couldn't be done - until we did it.
The
magic lies in a never before seen approach to tuning
aimed at speed, accuracy and ease of use. With
PolyTuneTM,
you simply strum all strings on your guitar or bass
at once, and it will immediately tell you which
strings need tuning! This cutting-edge tuning
technology revolutionizes the way you tune and
accomplishes what has been deemed 'impossible' until
now: tuning all strings simultaneously! It really is
as simple as strum - tune - rock, and this quantum
leap forward allows you to get in tune fast, and
back to doing what you love: playing.
Strum
- Tune - Rock
Providing an instant overview of the pitch of all
your strings, PolyTuneTM
is an invaluable tool in live-settings, where it is
essential to be in tune quickly and ready to play.
Crowds don't want to wait around, they want to rock,
and, let's face it, so do you. 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, PolyTuneTM
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. Whatever your pitch or tuning,
PolyTuneTM
is a sure-fire way to be spot-on, with an accuracy
of just plus/minus 1cent.
Chromatic
champion
Besides the Polyphonic tuner, PolyTuneTM
has a chromatic tuner that can hang with the best
current tuning technology out there, with an amazing
0.5 cent accuracy. But we are never satisfied with
the current norm, and added some features to make
this tuner's chromatic section stand out from the
crowd.
Tuning
modes
Let's start with the two separate chromatic tuning
modes, which cater to your individual preferences
and needs. Needle mode is for those that are used to
the classic view on a tuner. For the people that
want a little more real-time information, we have
included stream-mode, which measures even the
slightest pitch variation and instantly feeds the
info back to you 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.
PolyTuneTM
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. So, we
added some traits to ensure this tuner is calibrated
to the guitarist. Unlike most other tuners, PolyTuneTM
stores your preferences. From pitch reference to
tuning mode, it hangs on to this information even
after it is powered down, making sure you only have
to set how you want things to happen once.
The next time you power up again, it will show you
the settings, so you instantly know Everything is
exactly how you want it to be.
Tuning as it should be
PolyTuneTM
was our chance to build the ultimate tuning tool
from the ground up and finally get rid of some of
the current tuner drawbacks that guitarists run into
time and time again. Tuners have been around for
some 30 odd years and we felt it was high time they
got in tune with todays guitarists.
Design is where beauty and technology meet
But besides all the spearheading features inside the
tuner, we took a long hard look at the outside as
well, and pushed tuner design to new heights in the
process!

A
strong display of innovation
Starting
with the display, it instantly becomes clear
why PolyTuneTM
is lightyears ahead of current tuners.
Guitarists that play gigs, will no doubt
recognize the nightmare of an unclear
display, due to for example bright sunlight,
an overeager light technician or a stage
smoke machine gone bonkers. |
PolyTuneTM
offers unprecedented visibility using an ambient
light sensor, which automatically matches the
brightness of the LEDs to its surroundings.
What
is the Matrix?
PolyTuneTM
features 17 LEDS which allow for a higher resolution
and the LEDs themselves are super bright and focused
to ensure optimal visibility at all times. This
guarantees the most effortless tuning experience
money can buy. And as an added bonus, the 100 LED
matrix can give you information right on the
display, so you won't have to go dig for the manual
mid-gig.
Size Matters
PolyTuneTM
will brighten any pedalboard, and we aren't
just talking about the LEDs! Besides looking
like a million bucks, its small footprint
design means that PolyTuneTM
doesn't take up more of your precious
pedalboard real estate than absolutely
necessary.
Spruce
the juice
Battery changes are a breeze thanks to the
one-screw easy access to the battery
compartment and when powered by an external
9v DC power supply, the 9v DC out can be
used to power other pedals on your board.
True
Bypass
The true bypass feature ensures PolyTuneTM
is only there when you need it. It allows
for your carefully sculpted tone to flow
unaffected when the pedal is bypassed and
for silent tuning once engaged.
We can't make tuning fun. But we can
sure make it a whole lot easier.
We want to do our part for the guitar
community and truly innovate the life of
guitarists. And with PolyTuneTM's
extraordinary features and cutting-edge
technology, we feel we have accomplished
just that. We are passionate guitarists
ourselves and we work every single day to
make all our lives easier and more rocking.
We did it for multi-effects with
G-Force,
G-Major2,
Nova System and
G-System, we did it for stomp boxes with
the
Nova series, and now PolyTuneTM
is here to give tuning a much needed kick in
the A440! |
