The Polytune guitar pedal is getting rave reviews by all the musicians that I know (that have used it). It’s made by TC Electronics, and I first saw it when my friend picked one up at the local Guitar Center.
My lead singer was just saying the other day “I remember back in the day NONE of us had guitar tuners – we did it all by EAR, and all we had was a tuning fork!”. That’s probably why so much of the classic rock sounds like it does on record – huh?
What most people don’t understand is that most pedal tuners, like the Fender tuner pedal, and the cheap handheld Boss tuners – they’re just not very accurate at all. It’s like a scale that says you weigh 200lbs, when the doctor says you weight 204. It gets you into the ballpark, but it’s not very accurate.
In the past, professionals used what we call a “strobe tuner”, a very expensive thing that looked like an oscilloscope, or something you’d be doing medical tests with (lol). The PolyTune pedal is much more accurate than other tuning devices, more like a strobe tuner. It has this cool feature that I just love, you can strum all 6 strings at once, and it magically tells you which one(s) are out of tune. No more having to hit them one by one! It’s got a cool display, and this pedal has “true bypass”.
