tc electronic PolyTune Clip Tuner 3-stars Reviews

Great device -but not perfect

After tuning each string individually, the simultaneous check over all six strings never functions as expected---there is always one or two strings off.

Not for me.

I don't know why, but the battery in mine didn't work that long.

And as soon as I started to change batteries, the battery life declined fast for some reason.

It works and looks great, but the clip on the back (the one that keeps the battery in) became quite loose and soon after I found myself filling the small cavity up with paper, just to get enough pressure on the battery so the tuner wouldn't quit on me.

I just ordered the Uni-Tune, curious to see if it works better.

Overall I just this for quite some time, but it became an annoyance.

Round 2 is the Uni-Tune vs the Korg PC-2+!

Results later this year :)

OK

Feels cheap, and not as fast to recognise the tune as I expected.

Anyhow does the job.

Not so accurate

This thing looks so promising. Very compact and well built. The only problem for me is that it isn't very accurate. The poly option shows slightly different results than the normal one. But I guess it's the same thing as with its bigger brothers, the Polytune 1 and 2 (I've had them both). In fact I have used all versions of this Polytune adventure and never completely satisfied. I?ve stuck with it because its sooooo convenient on stage. But I?m now thinking about other options.
