TC Electronic POLYTUNE CLIP Clip-On Tuner with Polyphonic, Strobe and Chromatic Modes and 108 LED Matrix Display for Ultimate Tuning Performance

As the title says,I have no idea how they do it, but they do it better then anything else.Every other tuner I have, and I have several, once I tune each string according to the tuner, then I have to tweak by ear. You kinda have to do that because of the nature of the instrument. You have to find a middle ground. Because if your guitar is perfectly in tune with the open strings or in the first position, it'll be slightly out of tune further down the neck.So I tweak and split the difference. But I was never able to do it as well as the polyphonic tuning feature on this thing. My guitar never sounded more in tune across the entire fretboard. It's amazing.Actually once you use polyphonic tuning feature, if you use the same tuner and check the strings individually, several will show out of tune. So the thing has been built with the near perfect compromise in mind. I have a phone app tuner that has "just" tuning feature but it's nowhere as good as the Polytune.This is a game changer for me.

Plain and simple, quick and easy!I already had the polytune 3, which is great but this is so much easier. Clip on and go.No wires, power supply or space on the pedal board.

I may have tried 30or more tuners. This is the most usable, convenient and accurate tuner that I have ever used.

Now this is a fantastic tuner! This is the only one I’ll ever buy.

I wanted a tuner with more precision than the ones sold at the guitar shop. I like this one. Easy to use, easy to read. The ability to tune all strings at once is cute, but I rarely use it. I've had more than one person compliment me on this tuner instead of my guitar (and I have a very nice guitar.)

It's prettier than a snark, but about three times the price as well. I bought it hoping it'd be super accurate (which it seems to be). However, the "killer feature" which is the ability to tune all six strings at once is something I thought I'd use but very rarely do. It works, but it's not nearly as sensitive as tuning one string at a time, so it's more to see how far out you are than to actually try to get back in. It's super bright and easy to read, which is great, and it's good looking. Seems to tune quickly as well, it's super easy to use, and there's no major wait of lag like some tuners.

I have tried a variety of guitar tuners from plug-in tuners, stomp-box-style tuners and, especially for acoustic guitars, clip-on tuners. The PolyTune Clip, by TC Electronics is the newest one to grace my collection, and, so far, it is the best I've seen.The tuner is a lot smaller than most pictures would have you believe. The clip is mostly metal, compared to plastic in most competitors. Accuracy seems very good - I don't have the capacity to test the accuracy scientifically, but it sounds good to my ear (I've played guitar for over 40 years) and compares favorably with the other tuners I referenced it against - namely a Boss TU-3 and a PolyTune Mini, as well as other clip on tuners (see below).I have heard some complaints that the adjustability is only on one plane, so you can't place the tuner "just so", but in practice, I haven't had a problem putting it where it is highly visible on a variety of guitar head stocks, both 6 on a side (Fender style) or 3x3 (Gibson/Guild, etc.). When you “flip” the tuner to attach it “upside down”, the display automatically adjusts.So, let's compare to some of the competitors that reside in my music room.A lot of my friends love the Snark tuners - I own a few, myself. They are cheaper - a lot cheaper, and work pretty well. However, I have seen too many break at the clip for me to spend more money on them. Snark SN-1 TunerD'Addario NS Micro-clip tuners. Hard to position just right and the display is too small to really tune easily. D'Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner They make a different model that has a more flexible clamp system - making it easier to find the right spot, but the too-small display plagues this one as well. D'Addario NS Micro Universal TunerUp until now my favorite clip-on tuner is the Intellitouch PT-10. Intellitouch PT10 Mini Clip-On Tuner - Easy to use, and a display that is easy to "dial-in". While I still like this model, and will use them when the occasion warrants it, it is a slight step below the PolyTune clip.What I liked about the PolyTune Clip:* Style - the multiple LED lights are easy to read and make it easy to dial in the proper pitch. When the string is out of tune you see red lights and green when it is in tune. The multiple LEDs make it easy to see just how far out of tune you are.* The ability to check all strings at once (the "PolyTune" feature is unique to TC Electronics).* Multiple tunings available (and tuning for Bass guitar)* Ease of use.* Quality - I have never bought a TC Electronics product (And I have a lot of their products) that wasn't really well built.What I didn't like:* Price - at around $49 street price, they are more money than some, but they are a lot better built. I got this one through Amazon Vine to evaluate, but I also bought another one because I like them a lot!* The cheap, flimsy instruction sheet written in extremely small type that was hard to read. You'd think for $50 that they'd give you a copy of the manual (which is very well written and easy to follow). You can download the owner's manual from the TC Electronics website.Clip-on tuners are easy to use, especially in a live setting. Even the fact that you can almost maintain eye contact with your audience while tuning, rather than looking down at a floor mounted tuner adds professionalism to your performance. The TC Electronics PolyTune Clip is the best clip on tuner I’ve had the pleasure of working with to date.

It works very well! Plus this seller got it to me, unlike the 1st one I ordered from.Easier tuning than my S^@rk !!
