Re: polytune 2: yes? no?
Ironically, I really like the Polytune app on my iPhone - while the polytuning doesn't work, it works great for single strings. I think it actually works better than the pedal but it's not for using in a pedalboard!

I found that too. The app kind of influenced me to gat a polytune.bclaire wrote:Ironically, I really like the Polytune app on my iPhone - while the polytuning doesn't work, it works great for single strings. I think it actually works better than the pedal but it's not for using in a pedalboard!

I actually like my mini Polytune a lot. Works great for me and takes virtually no space in the board...

Re: polytune 2: yes? no?
It is kind of funny how a piece of guitar gear that makes absolutely NO SOUND can be so polarizing.
That's probably more due to "it either works or it doesn't" though.

Re: polytune 2: yes? no?
prolly since first generation polytunes are not as good as second gen due to the various upgrades... not sure but I will be avoiding second gen...

Re: polytune 2: yes? no?
I have the Polytune 2 and it's been working great for me so far. JMHO.
I do have a Peterson Strobe Stomp for intonating though. If I've intonated my guitars, most tuners do the job for me and my purposes.

I've polytune mini, and I think it's one of the best tuners on the market.

Re: polytune 2: yes? no?
I have a first-gen Polytune that is incredibly frustrating to use (and I've only run it off of a power supply). There are times where I have to pull and reinsert the input cable because the tuner won't activate. Last gig, the tuner wouldn't activate with a cable. Rather, it just made engine clicking noises when the switch was pressed down. Hello, Pitchblack.

Mine was unhappy with a right angle plug. I don't know why but I had similar experiences...kmb8488 wrote:I have a first-gen Polytune that is incredibly frustrating to use (and I've only run it off of a power supply).

Re: polytune 2: yes? no?
I just figured the bulk of my Polytune's issues were due to the fact that I bought it just days after it was originally released (early 2010, I think; maybe earlier). Not sure if the Polytune 2 and Mini are any good, but I don't think they could be any more problematic than the Polytune lemon currently in my possession.
