PolyTune Clip Tuner : Excellent clip on

7 years ago

I much prefer a clip on tuner to a pedal tuner. I rarely if ever use pedals, even distortion. I've had a couple of clip on tuners before. Just cheap ones from an auction site, which have performed well enough. When this came out, I was eager to try it, to see what all the fuss was about. I've never used a tuner that checks all the strings at once, and to be honest, I still tune one string at a time with this. The display is much larger and clearer, tuning one at a time, and it's what I'm used to. To be honest, I found the all at once option a little confusing, and reverted back to my preferred method. That said, I find the tuner easy, and clear to use, and as far as I can tell, it's really accurate. I seem to hit the note quicker, and there seem to be more play on the machine heads, so it's easier to get it bang on, first time. With the cheap ones, I was going sharp, or flat, and having to detune, and go again. I don't get that with this tuner. The only slight grumble is the slightly utilitarian look of it, it's a bit plasticky looking, and it doesn't swivel, like the others I've used. These are just minor things, though, and I really like using it.
