tc electronic PolyTune Clip Tuner Reviews

Great!

Amazing discovery! I've got a tuner into a large pedalboard which I use for gigs and rehearsals, but I needed a tuner just for home and this is where the TC Electronic Polytune Clip enters. And enters to hit the jackpot!

It makes its job perfectly. Moreover, it tunes all strings with one single strum. I don't use this caracteristic and go on tuning one string at a time, but undoubtedly it's a great achievement.

I strongly recommend it since it tunes perfectly and is extremely comfortable to change from one electric to one acoustic guitar, just clip the handle and it's done.

Very accurate

TC Electronic PolyTune Clip Tuner is very accurate but expensive. You can easy fit this tuner to all kinds of headstocks. Clip automaticaly change orientation if you have tuner turned around hidden behind headstock. Nice colors - Polytune classic.

Excellent

An easy to use ACCURATE polytune clip on tuner.

Great Small Tuner

I bought it for my acoustic guitars. The tuner is very fast, accurate and easy to use. Sometime it get confused with the E string, specially in a loud enviroment but not a big problem. The Poly - Tune feature is also great. The smal size and easy positioning is a thumbs up too.

Great accurate tuner

Clip it onto your headstock and you can tune the guitar in seconds.

Is very accurate, works perfectly with unplugged electrics.

Changing the settings for different tunings took me a couple of attempts - at first it's not clear that the settings have changed but with a couple of attempts it was fine.

Might be considered a bit expensive but still very much recommended.

TC Electronic PolyTune Clip

Tuner is good, but has a problem with bass guitar by reading E string, which is often portrayed as B, regardless of whether it is set to a guitar or bass. Plastic construction could be better

Cool tuner

This one is another cool product from tc electronic. I already have the polytune tuner and the iphone app version. This one is great, becouse it work without any cables, just stick it to on top of the neck. It works with both acoustic and electric guitar. It also supports different tunings. Always keep a spare battery, it's consuming quite a bit!

excellent product

well built

works great with bass and as well on stage

very accurate

Light, clearly visible and reliable

I am owner of 2 TC elctronic tuners (polytune 2 and polytune mini black) and I did not doubt which clip tuner to buy. Polytune clip is absolutely fantastic. Easy to use, easy ro switch on/off and, most important, clearly visible when playing outdoors in the sunlight! I owned few other clip tuners of various quality and price, but I donated them all to fellow guys who play guitar. Nothing can beat Polytune Clip!

Great clip-on tuner!

As always from TC Elecctronic, it's an awesome product!

A joy to use!

It's a real joy to tune your guitar or bass with this tuner. Works accurately and thanks to the polytune feature you can quickly see which strings need to be tuned.

Although it's only advertised to work with guitar, I found that when you put it on bass mode, you can also effectively tune other instruments, such as a cello.

Button placement and use is well-thought out and simple.

The only problems I've ever had with it were the polytune showing a string as not tuned while normal tuning showed it in-tune. Sometimes you will pluck a single string and it'll switch over to polytune. This doesn't happen very often though.

All in all, a very good product. Would definitely buy again.

Really the best clip tuner

This is my 3rd purchase for a guitar tuner, and really the first one that fits flawlessly to any guitar. The clip is sturdy, and won't slip off even from a very glossy finish. Using it is the simplest thing ever, I just put it on, push the button which is really well placed and responsive, and without delay the screen shows the matrix and I'm good to go with my tuning.

The case is well built, looks really solid, the screen is perfect in size, and the brightness, smoothness and responsiveness provided is the maximum you can get. Even with reduced vision it's absolutely apparent. For the tones, it is really precise, with different guitar body materials and necks it tunes with the same clarity and precision. Oh and the battery life? I guess I used it a million times already but it still lasts.

Summarizing the above, it's an easy to use, clear and understandable, solid product, when you go with this tuner you just can't go wrong, worth every penny.

Great tool

We use it on electric guitar on acoustic guitar and bass.

It works great, it captures all the notes from our 6 string bass.

It's small and subtle.

Yes it is POLY-tune, you can play all your strings and it will show you all the strings at the same time.

Even great for bass.

I play bass and took a chance on one of these and totally paid off.

These are great little pieces of tech.

Thought it might struggle with the low notes but thankfully it's passed that test with flying colours.

These allow you to tune all your strings from one strum.

Fantastic piece of gear.

Really great tuner!!

I'm using this tuner on daily basis, and it is very easy to use. I like the big display that shines in the dark, especially when you need to tune it on the stage. I have no cons, so this review makes this tuner perfect :). If you don't want or need pedal tuner, I would always recommend this clip on tuner, because I tried many other that are not as good as this one.

Handy and slick device

This is a clip on tuner designed to be mounted on your guitar so that you can tune your guitar at a glance. Its main feature is that it can do polyphonic tuning, and it does it quite well on a guitar.

I tend to use it mostly on a bass, where the polyphonic tuning doesn't work, but the other modes do. Getting a good contact between it and the body which can pick up the string vibrations but not fall off is a bit of an art, but it can be done.

It tunes quite well on the bass, although the low B string on a 5 or a 6 is not very sensitive, so needs a bit of patience.

Overall a quality product, better on guitar on bass at the high end of the price range for these devices

A great clip on tuner

This is compact, sturdy and accurate. The lowest tuning I play in is Drop B and this works like a dream even on the lowest of notes. I have used it on a 5 string bass and It still worked beautifully.

The lights make it easy to see in a dark environment, it's hud is easy to understand and even if I were to lose or if it were to break I'd pick it up again instantly.

One negative is that the multiple string tuning is kind of... off? It often feels like it will tell you to tune up when looking at all strings but down when looking at the individuals, but that's fine if you just use one or the other tuning methods.

Conclusion, if you want a nice small clip on tuner go for it. It's great for live and in the studio.

Great Tuner

Love the strobe feature, the fact it can be used either way up and the bright display for use on dark stages.

It also means I can tune discreetly, and then clip onto my strap when not in use.

Not the cheapest clip on tuner out there, but certainly worth the extra money.

Good tuner

Fast enough and precise tuner. The display is bright and sharp, polyphonic mode is impressive as well. The accuracy of tuning depends of placement in a less degree then usual. I wish only the on/off button could be a bit bigger.

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.
