I use my Polytune mini 2 for my bass guitar. It works great except for the lowest strings on my 5 string (tuned to drop G). Trying to tune the drop G seems to engage the polyphonic tuning feature, potentially from all the overtones generated from the bass string?

At the moment I tune my lowest string at the 12th fret harmonic but it gets tedious after a while.

I believe being able to disable the polyphonic tuning feature could help me but I'm not sure.

Thanks for your help

Hi - I recently (2 months ago) purchased a Polytune Clip (Black). Works great in chromatic tuning but seems to be absolutely no response for polyphonic tuning. When I strum the guitar the screen is blank apart from a green dot top centre. My understanding was that the polyphonic tuning kicks in as soon as you strum - user error or something wrong with the unit?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

• Hi. According to the user manual, the TC Electronic PolyTune Clip Black tuner should be turned off after 3 minutes of being INACTIVE; however the one I bought through Amazon turns off every 3 minutes EVEN when I'm using it so I have to turn it back on which causes inconvenience and delay. I made the query to TC Eectronic Technical Support a few days ago, and they replied that this operation was not normal, that I should try other batteries and that if it continues like this it may be a hardware problem. It happens that on the internet I found 2 videos where you can see the tuner turning off after 3 minutes of use (not being inactive), which leaves me wondering.Could someone confirm if it turned off after 3 minutes of using the tuner -that is, which is not inactive but in use-, is it normal or not? Thank you. Sergio Ramos

Hola. Según el manual del usuario, el sintonizador TC Electronic PolyTune Clip debe apagarse después de 3 minutos de estar INACTIVO; sin embargo, el que compré a través de Amazon se apaga cada 3 minutos, INCLUSO cuando lo estoy usando, por lo que tengo que volver a encenderlo, lo que causa molestias y demoras. Realicé la consulta a Soporte Técnico de TC Eectronic hace unos días, y me contestaron que ese funcionamiento no era normal, que probara con otras baterías y que si seguía así tal vez sea un problema de hardware. Sucede que en internet encontré 2 videos en donde se aprecia al afinador apagarse a los 3 minutos de uso (no estando inactivo), lo que me deja la duda ¿Podría alguien confirmar si ese apagado a los 3 minutos de usar el afinador -es decir que no está inactivo sino en uso-, es o no normal?. Gracias. Sergio Ramos

I own a polytune clip (original silver color).  After more than 3 years, I am catching on that there is a problem with this unit.  I have an Acoustic (Taylor) guitar.

1.  First of all, it is impossible to tune all strings together on a guitar.

2. Tuning the A string, one often see's "F" when it is in tune.

I like the tuner, use it in preference to any other for it's accuracy, but the functionality is somehow lacking.  It certainly is not all it's cracked up to be in the manual, etc.  

I thought I would buy another to find out whether this is a real problem, or something of my own usage.   I now see a "Polytune Clip Black" on the market.  Didn't see them before.  Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to find one online---most sites say it is back ordered.  Amazon has them, but at an elevated price, indicating it may be gouging in response to a supply issue. 

Any ideas about these issues?  

Not sure about anyone else in the US, but I'm having a really hard time finding this PolyTune clip in stock anywhere.  Even some of the local stores here can't seem to get any.  And, all the online venders including Amazon, don't have any.  TC Electronic, can you provide some insight into when we might see these available again?

I posted here a month or so ago about the polytune I purchased (which was actually a mispackaged/mislabelled unitune). Since then I've been trying to acquire one in Europe/UK. There is literally no stock with any retailer; until recently it was only available from scalpers/resellers on ebay (at 4-5 times the price).

Can we get some information on whether they are still being made, and if so when it is anticipated that they might actually be available for purchase.

Love TC products and hope for a positive response.
