EskimoBassist Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Great idea, but I really don't think they had to go there. I mean it'll be wonderful for pedaltrain mini and nano users but aside from that I can't see anyone complaining about the size of the regular Polytune.

[/quote] They say (in the video) they've spotted a trend to small pedals, the video shows a pedaltrain nano (or two) with the lovepedal mini line-up on it. Have to say that it's something that interests me.

Musicman20 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Cool idea, but personally I think there comes a point when items become too small! The Polytune is small as it is, but that is tiny! Is the screen the same size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 [sub]It looks like an iPod or some sort of Apple product anyway, but then again so does the white Nintendo Wii and DSi. White is cool though, especially on basses.[/sub] [sub]I prefer the screen layout on the normal size Polytune. [/sub] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeBrownBass Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I think it looks great for chromatic tuning (can't seen me using the poly) so surely the smaller size is a good thing. My dt10 works great but the size of it is unnecessary, same as the boss tuners, the screen looks bigger than both of these pedals.

pantherairsoft Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I like it. I'll squeeze on any pedal board I ever put together. Moment it's available my Polytune will be up for sale and I'll be getting one of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1976fenderhead Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Does anyone else find the power socket on the right side an oversight? Since most people have the tuner as the first pedal, the cable will be sticking out. Also, such a small surface on the first pedal of your chain means at the slightest pull it will come off or move... Of course, you can always move it to some other part of the chain, but just sayin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The space saving over other pedals might easily be gone if you attempt to keep the power plug in-board, and the pedal is first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to have a jack sticking in that side just below it, which will be longer than the power input anyway (assuming you use a right angle daisy chain/power input), so I don't see how that is an issue at all... ?

Musicman20 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just read this, so its confirming above: "Please note this pedal cannot be battery powered due to its compact size". The pedal looks SUPER small but I need the battery option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Just in that I would feel a bit nervous having the power plug sticking out of the board in case I stepped on it during a gig or something, also since I use a pedaltrain mini with a soft case, wouldn't feel very healthy to have the cable sticking out inside the bag. Linking to what BigBeatNut said, if you have say a Diago board, the jack is not problem because you remove it before closing the board, but the power plug stays in so if you want to leave it plugged you have to move the pedal inside. I'm not saying it's a dealbreaker, just that it would be much better if it was on the top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never set a board up with anything over the edge of the board, including the input jack... hence not quite 'getting' the argument. As such, it certainly does not effect me.

BigBeatNut Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 My take on the power supply to the tuner is: Tuner is ideally at the right end of the board. When you unplug the guitar-to-tuner jack to pack the board away, the only thing left sticking out of the pedal at the right hand end is the power supply. If the board is going into a case, you probably either need to unplug that power jack, or else move the pedal inward (leftward) by 3/4 inch or so, and if you do that you lose the space saving. I think I'm probably only repeating what others have said here. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
