That's cool. I have a Polytune and love the accuracy. Works great for me. The mini can be real handy on small pedalboards.

Cool! TC Electronic is becoming one of my favourite guitar gear companies - they're dedicated to good tones, reliability, cool design, and innovation. They're almost like the Apple of the guitar effects world.

I dig their stuff. Even have the iPhone Polytune.

That's awesome! Won't be swapping my Turbo Tuner for that, but I can see the appeal.

Re: TC Electronic Polytune Mini

Hey thats cool. I like my Polytune, its the only tuner that I liked enough to replace the old TU2 pedal.

Don't really have a need for another Polytune, but the size makes it gig bag/case friendly.

Any mention of the price? I could see myself getting one if it was slightly cheaper than the original Polytune.

Re: TC Electronic Polytune Mini

The only little problen I see so far is that doesn't use battery, only 9v through external power supply. I don't see guitar/bass option so I don't know if recognize it automatically.

It works for both. And trust me on this, you want 9V DC power from an external power supply, not a battery. It's digital. It'll eat batteries for breakfast just like any digital pedal out there.

if its not less than the standard poly im gonna be pissed

Re: TC Electronic Polytune Mini

Seriously? No 9v battery option?

That sucks.

That kinda defeats the allure of it being small and portable for me. I'd like a small footswitchable tuner that I can throw into a gig bag or case.

No 9v battery = fail, IMO.

It may eat batteries, but you only have it on for less than 1 minute at a time...

Re: TC Electronic Polytune Mini

For me, I love the fact that it economize on not having the battery option - I never use it.

I went away for two weeks for a jazz program and all i brought was my polytune and a few batteries, i never had to take the original out and i was playing for around 5 hours a day and tuned a good amount, i never had to change it once, it lasts a while

Even when "off", it still uses battery just like any other stompbox. No stompbox that size can use a battery. There's just no room.

That's cool. My stock battery didn't last long. I have it plugged in to external anyway on my pedalboard and never use battery power. Not a risk I'm willing to take at a gig. I do have batteries in my pedals just in case I lose power to the board.
