TC Electronic PolyTune - Introduction

[maniac4141]

1:54!! it shows as if no string is in tune.. at 2:00 he just tunes one string, but all the other strings are tuned magically.. what's that?

[V1nz0rd]

@maniac4141 listen to what he SAYS when that happens. does that answer your question?

[maniac4141]

@V1nz0rd no.

[Taldegardo92]

wow..awesome guitar, awesome colour, awesome shape... ups, it was a video about tuner

[ChaserHUN]

I have a Polytune. But when I engage the pedal, and the amp is on the lead channel, it introduces noise to my rig. Is this normal? I have to put it in front of the noise gate.

[tcelectronic]

@ChaserHUN No it's not normal. When Polytune is engaged the signal should be muted. but try changing the battery or please contact our support.

[CtrlRm]

I always play a whole step down....

[doom38426]

I always play on drop D, polytuning is useless, isn't it?

[kiks1234567]

@doom38426 well, Bring Me The Horizons guitarist Jona Weinhofen uses polytune, and they play with C-Drop or Bb-Drop. But I don't know how it works then

[Randomize2009]

@doom38426 No? You can also tune them one by one.

[Fhey1337]

didn't sound in tune asshole, way to only hold it for .5 secs

[mindingosafado]

Leave it to the Scandinavians to be such geniuses ^___^

[bluenotes001]

I love this tuner, great for stage use. But I have one question. Can anyone tell me what is USB input/output good for? No single one word about this in user manual or anywhere else:), thank you

[THMSBLVRT]

is this guy nervous or something ? 

[ironzeppelin44]

man, i hate when im fingering a minor and then i break the g string

[bigharpbluesband]

is it possible an open G tuning in polytune mode?

[mpecoraro]

Will this work for 12 string guitars?

[TheMannyfr3sh1]

haha almost swallows his face at 1.13

[theclovek]

very nice.. what about dropped or open tuings or any other than standard?

ist there setting for that aswell?

[bluezlick]

@theclovek

check at 1:14  :)

[luggo]

Hofner guitar? Purty finish.

[guitartec]

When might you make a version for retrofit onto a guitar?

[modevotion1]

this tuner is great, can't be beat for the price.

$99 is well worth it.

it's worked great for me, beats the hell outta my Boss TU-2

[abubacar]

i hate when my g string is a little flat.

[AdhitiaSofyan]

He said "..my G string is a little flat.." :p

[PhillipRuthardt]

Does the Tuner work if I Just Dropp my E string D?

[CentaXBerlin2]

@PhillipRuthardt you know you're an idiot right?

[davidzkingdom]

pretty cool. I used to use a TC Electronics Chorus/flanger and really liked it so much, I used it for backvocals as well. good stuff...

[Darkmatter2]

No 7 string guitar tuning? It should incorporate a traditional method as well for odd strings.

[Darkmatter2]

My bad, it does!

[stinnnnnn]

it does

[drfeelgoodlanzarote]

Ha ha, 1:16 even he is impressed by it. Seems a great device.

[ITubeSheTubes]

Not there yet. Guitars are "untunable" by nature. Guitarists, especially classical, do not tune their instruments to 100% equal-temperament. They make slight adjustments depending on the piece they are playing.

The revolution will happen when tuners can recognize and remember all these nuances. +- 1 cent accuracy cant distinguish a perfect fifth from an equal temperament one.

Good enough for rock'n'roll? Maybe. But guitarists will continue bending the strings to get the right note.

[littlewing62]

@ITubeSheTubes that's what makes the guitar so sexy. just like the violin it's never really in tune, but it sounds damn good.

[MaestrosounD]

genious concept and well executed product

[somaAndi]

great great pedal but there is one question that remains. how are tunings like dropped-d or dropped-c handled? will it tell me that the lowest string is flat while the others are ok? if the pedal could handle that I would instantly buy one!!!

does anybody now? the author maybe ;)

[elbuddero]

As far as I understood you can toggle different tunings on the top side of the pedal... i remembered drop d being said, but don't know about drop c. But i'd guess it's included as well...

For someone who switches tunings often on rehearsals/gigs (like me) not so brilliant with all the toggling, but maybe auto-tuning-detection will come in future revisions. It's revolutionary enough as-is right now. ;-)

[ManUJaco]

he isn't German he's Danish :D But his accent is still terrible !! :D

[TheNinetySecond]

He's danish, and you're being kind of a dick right now...

[trunkki]

Great accent, man! :D

[Brian7490]

is there a G tuning setting?

[illy984]

this is a great invention and super impressive, but anyone who plays guitar regularly can tune up in less than a minute anyway. It's like inventing something that ties your shoes for you... it's already virtually instant. i still like it tho.

[elbuddero]

Yeah but I'd say "regular tuning" is not the main goal for this pedal anyway... being able to check fast and easy if all your strings are in tune at once is priceless for live gigs - if you don't have a guitar tech that hands you a perfectly tuned guitar after each song, which I guess most of us (unfortunately :-P) don't have... Everything that reduces the time fiddling with the tuning is recieved with pleasure. Conclusion: I like it, too! ;-)

[kerranz]

Nice BedHead. Looks like somebody had a hard night.

[yeahdefector]

I've seen polytune for sale online at $99,-

TC's website says it'll be available March

[ozorg]

wow - looks great! how much is it?

[melven62]

About how much will they be?

[LisHolm]

in poly mode ultra precise +/- 1 cent

in mono mode even better +/- 0.5 cent

[fian06]

"Ready to rock again, in no time flat"

Flat, indeed.

[ciclosonico]

Are those LEDs big and bright enough for a dark stage?

[samgam69]

i hope you guys can keep up for the demand of this
