Polytune Clip
I know Molly bought one of these recently, looks amazing! Once I get the Katana the lack of tuner compared with the HD500X will be annoying, and I like the idea of this over plugging in my 25+ year old Boss tuner!

Re: Polytune Clip
I've tried a few clip-on tuners and the only one that seems to be reliable is the Snark. Haven't tried these PolyTunes though.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: Polytune Clip
I had a korg pitchblack clip on which was really good, but this looks like a definite step up!

Re: Polytune Clip
I rely on my Snark these days. The ones we can get in NZ here are quite chunky though, I got my White Snark from fleabay, and it's just wonderful.

Re: Polytune Clip
The PolyTune didn't get a great write-up in Guitarist because it said the chromatic mode disagreed with the strobe mode (or something like that). Personally, I love it. Not cheap though.

Re: Polytune Clip
I think the strobe mode has a higher level of accuracy so it will disagree! But yes, it's spendy, but my other tuner has lasted me 25 years so hopefully this will too

Re: Polytune Clip
i have one and it works well.Although i think the poly mode is garbage,both on this and the pedal model-its always a little flat.
but the chromatic mode is super fast and its easy to read, and quick to click on/off at bandpractice when the other guitarist doesnt have a tuner on them.

Re: Polytune Clip
I use a Snark SN10 pedal tuner on my pedal board & found it to be quite good, and I still have my ancient Seiko ST-747 chromatic which must be around 25 -30 years old.codedog wrote:I rely on my Snark these days.
