PG's Jordan Wagner walks us through his latest review for the TC
Electronic PolyTune pedal--featured in the 2010 issue of Premier Guitar.
The
PolyTune is the world's first polyphonic tuner. You simply strum all
strings on your guitar or bass at once, and it will immediately tell
you which strings need tuning. This new tuning technology changes the
way players can tune by enabling the tuning feature to apply to all the
strings at once. The reference pitch can be set to your preference and
ranges from 435Hz to 445Hz. 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. The tune works
in two modes. First, Needle mode is for those that are used to the
classic view on a tuner. The other option is for the people that want a
little more real-time information, stream-mode measures even the
slightest pitch variation and instantly feeds the info back to you via
a rotating motion on the display. The PolyTune is also a true bypass
pedal.
