Gearank High Notes
Gearank Recommendation
The Polytune 2 Mini appeared on our recommended list for Pedal Tuners from April 2018 until November 2020.
Overview
Pedalboard space is an ever dwindling resource for many guitarists, prompting many manufacturers to produce compact versions of their popular pedals.
The TC Electronic Polytune 2 Mini is one such pedal, a compact version of the Polytune 2, with no battery power option.
Like its bigger sibling, this pedal allows for polyphonic (multi-note) tuning, in addition to conventional chromatic tuning.
It also features a Stroboscopic mode that allows for even more tuning accuracy, down to ±0.1 cent.
Finally, this compact pedal comes with a smart LED display with ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness.
