The TC Electronic PolyTune Mini

Two years ago, TC introduced polyphonic tuning to the world and since then guitarists everywhere have welcomed this next-generation way of tuning with open arms. Now TC reveals the world's smallest polyphonic tuner: PolyTune Mini that will fit on any pedal board.

Sometimes size actually does matter and in such cases, PolyTune Mini is the perfect solution as no other pedal tuner in the world will take up so little space - which means more room for other pedals.

"When designing PolyTune Mini we set a goal right from the start: we didn't want to compromise on features in any way," says TC's guitar product manager Tore Lynggaard Mogensen. "Despite shrinking it down to a third of the size of the original PolyTune, our engineers did an absolutely incredible job taking all the cool stuff from PolyTune and shrinking it down to a tiny package. It really is the kind of product you have to hold in your hand to truly appreciate the size, build quality and attention to detail."

PolyTune Mini is based on the exact same technology as the original PolyTune, so like its bigger brother it shows the tuning state of all strings simultaneously by simply strumming the guitar, enabling guitarists to get back to playing in a matter of seconds.

Just like the original PolyTune, PolyTune Mini is among the most precise tuners in the world, tuning with +/- 0.5 per cent precision in chromatic mode and +/- 1 per cent accuracy in polyphonic mode. Also, it automatically switches between chromatic and polyphonic modes depending on whether all strings are strummed at once or each string is picked individually.

Finally, PolyTune Mini features Drop-D and Capo modes as well as True Bypass for zero tone coloration and a super-bright LED display with the same amount of LEDs as the original PolyTune.

PolyTune Mini Main Features

• Ultra-small Footprint – Will Fit on Any Pedal Board
• PolyTune – Tune All Strings Simultaneously
• +/- 0.5 Cent Tuning Accuracy
• True Bypass w/ Silent Tuning
• Super-bright LED Display
• Up to 5 Semitones Flat Tunings
• Drop-D and Capo Tuning

"We are proud to announce that legendary bass player, Nathan East, has joined the Bass Amp 2.0 revolution. Nathan East has been synonymous with ultimate bass sound as well as superior groove, feel and general musicianship for decades. After having tried most high-end bass gear throughout his career, he decided that our Blacksmith bass amp and RS cabinets are the perfect combination for carrying on the legacy of his renowned bass sound in the future. “TC Electronic has always been one of my favorite companies, but has now taken bass amps to the next level with the new Blacksmith! It rocks loads of power, an outstanding tone and even has a built in tuner!”

As a musician of integrity, style and taste, Nathan East has recorded and performed with an extremely wide variety of top pop/rock artists such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Quincy Jones, Eric Clapton, Babyface, B.B. King, Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Joe Satriani, Usher, Ray Charles, Toto and countless others. In fact, if you have listened to the radio, you have definitely heard Nathan’s steady groove, musicality and tasteful sound, as he has laid down the bass lines on several Grammy Award-winning albums. Further, Nathan also enjoys a reputation as one of the finest jazz/fusion bass players around, having played with artists like Herbie Hancock, Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Al Jarreau and George Benson. In total, Nathan appears on more than a thousand recordings – a very impressive back catalogue and an unquestionable proof of Nathan’s massive bass authority!

Nathan’s overall music philosophy is simple: “I try to see the big picture and approach every song as a new work of art in constant search for the right colors, notes and personality. There’s really no secret; exposure to as many different styles and genres help me navigate the playing field. I still feel like a student and continue to study all types of music.”

Nathan is using the Blacksmith with two RS410 cabinets when touring and the RH750 for session work and at home. It is truly an honor for us that such a distinguished player has chosen to embrace our Bass Amp 2.0 concept – a player with a career simply beyond comparison!"
