Boss tuner vs. Tc electronic polytune

Shootout between the boss tu-2 tuner and the tc electronics polytune. The polytune is true bypass but isn't good through a tuner output on an Ernie ball vp jr. The boss is just as fast and has brighter LEDs. In my opinion the boss is more reliable but the polytune looks cooler.

you shouldnt even use the tuner output it is tone sucking. even more than the ernie ball by itself

@MrGibguitar i've never had "tone suckage" from the vp junior. And i don't generally use the tuner output unless my pedals are in awkward positions.

Thanks! Just what I was looking for.

@BluesXPer no problem! but i failed to test the polytunes polyphonic tuning ability to tune all strings at once. I realized that it could do that after i returned it to my friend that loaned it to me.

I'd say the Polytune is the superior tuner on paper, but after countless gigs with my trustworthy TU-3, I find it's reliability to be outstanding.

The Polytune sits on the A# because you have hum in your signal. the problem is not with the tuner...

@AceFire117 Sorry i know this is 3 months over due. but i know people that love the korg pitch-black. it probably has the best display. but they are all equally accurate/quick. Thanks

@bitethebullet615 Hey dude why is that ? I'm gonna by one myself and of course i think of the tu-3 but i'm just wondering if there isn't any other good ones or even better.

The Boss is not visible in direct sunlight making it worthless. I just threw my TU 2 in the trash.

[Insectiscrote]

Good test. I've heard about the PTs issues with tuner out jacks. Not good. Te PT seems very gimmicky for now. I'm thinking seriously about he Korg Pitchblack.

Dude, stop talking and play dude. I wanna hear you shred! I can tell that you're legit from your shoes! Those are pedals for the banjo, correct?
