Introduction

PolyTune 2:
Polyphonic tuning revisited
As the world's first polyphonic tuner, the original
PolyTune took the hearts of guitarists by storm.
Features such as the MonoPoly technology
(which automatically detects whether you want
to tune a single string or all strings) made tun-
ing a bass or guitar faster and easier than ever
before.
But at TC Electronic, we are all about moving for-
ward, and so the obvious question was: How can
we improve on perfection?
Enter PolyTune 2.
Brighter than a thousand suns
When you need to tune, you need to tune. And
the last thing you want to worry about at that
moment is a display that is either too bright for
the club stage or unusable in the bright sun of a
late afternoon gig. The display on PolyTune 2 is
primed with some of the brightest LEDs you have
ever laid your eyes on. And the ambient light
sensor makes sure you get just the right amount
of brightness. It's the best of/for both worlds!

Strobe tuning
TC has received many requests from the guitar
community for a strobe tuner, so we added a
strobe mode, which is both lightning fast and ul-
tra precise. And with a pitch detection accuracy
of ±0.1 Cent, (that's 1/1000 of a semitone!) this is
the right tool for fine-tuning your precious instru-
ment – wherever you may be.
Total recall
PolyTune 2 stores your preferences. From pitch
reference to selected tuning mode, it hangs on
to this information even after it is powered down
– making sure you only have to set these param-
eters once. And just to be safe, it will display the
current settings when you plug in your instru-
ment. One less thing to worry about!
Introduction
Of course, PolyTune 2 still has all the features
from the original PolyTune that users know and
love.
– PolyTune®: Tune all strings simultaneously
– For guitars and basses
– Supports Drop-D and capo tuning modes
– True bypass with silent tuning
– DC output for powering other pedals
PolyTune 2 will allow you to tune your instrument
faster and easier than ever before, so you can go
back to doing the one thing we know you care
about: playing your music.
Enjoy!
