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!

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!
