Mini Polytune

[lxxwj]

When is this gonna be released in the US?
I've only found one site that's selling it..
http://www.proaal.com/Brand/TC-Electronics/Polytune-Mini.html
Looks kinda sketchy.

[lxxwj]

I'm looking at you, Shep.

[dudewheresmybass]

They seem to be quite freely available over here.
Perhaps try a uk site? Effectspowersupplies.com have stock
It is really pretty good!

[lxxwj]

Thanks, looks like this site will work better.

I'll ask - I'm sure US retailers have a date now though.

I think I'll just order one from the above mentioned site, as long as "free shipping" as it says
really means free shipping.
..Oh wait, it's free shipping to the UK. :damn:
Erm, yes, I would appreciate you asking for me.

[Al Heeley]

If anyone has a mini they want to swap with my full size one I'd be happy to facilitate - the full size has the advantage of battery so can be easier used standalone, but is just too big to fit nicely on my pedal bvoard, I need the smaller footprint.

Andertons is UK.

I need to move to England in about 10 years..

[jwood662]

Oh yeah, my bad, i should probably read that bit on the left sometimes!

So I'm the only one completely put off by the fact that it doesn't do the poly tuning mode for bass? The poly mode is the only reason I bought the full-size one, and I was doing to swap it out for the smaller one until I realised it would be a downgrade, in reality.

[/quote]Oh. I didn't realise this. I thought it has same functionality as its slightly older and bigger brother. That's a bummer, I'd really like the smaller one for myu pedalboard and the poly-mode functioality is a really handy quick-check between songs.

[pantherairsoft]

Yeah this is a stripped down version of the big brother in terms if size, features and price. It tunes poly for guitar and chromatic for both with most basic detunings programmed. That said mine tunes E,A,D,G in poly perfectly (though not my B or C) even though they say it shouldn't!

No USB on the mini either so no future updates would be possible.

[gilmour]

I've seen them, they're very dinky and look very cool however I just don't get the point of polythene for bass? If you're out of tune you can tell which string it is.

Still want one though!

[pantherairsoft]

I only ever used the original as a chromatic tuner anyway. I bought it as I preferred the display to all the others on the market - so I got the mini for the same purpose an the display is still very clear.

The large one has been demoted to home/practice/back up an the mini is now on my board.

[tredders]

Just to jump on the back of this topic - if anyone is thinking of "upgrading" (or downgrading, depending on your point of view) from the Polytune to the mini, I'm on the lookout for a regular Polytune pedal, so let me know if you're selling.

[E sharp]

Mine arrived today . Yet to try it , but it's hard to believe how small it is until you have it in your hand - it looks great .

My first 'pedal' tuner

What? how crap is that?

[cm261]

Ok, so there're two of us

[Al Heeley]

Just got my mini polytune. It's so cute! Don't care if it is a downgrade or lacks polyphonic functionailty, this is a tiny little must-have on anyones board. Also for me the clearest in-gig tuning display of any stompy pedal and fast response.
Did I mention how cute it is?
