Don't miss out on the Sonic Research Turbo Tuner. There are lots of threads/posts about it all over this forum. Personally I don't support TC Electronic just because of some bad individual experiences with them.

I tested the polytune, the poly function is only useful for checking at first glance. You always end up using the normal function for precise tuning. I prefer the visibility of the huge pitchblack LED's for that.

Sonic Research totally hijacked this thread. Awesome.
And they only offer one product now (the 122 is down until further notice just when I was thinking about one..)

yeah the polytune kicks ass.

one thing i hate about the pitchblack is that it loses all its settings when it is unpowered. i dont use mine with batteries, only DC. everytime the power is cut off it goes back into the standard settings, 440Hz with the default tuning mode. i would have liked to use the strobe setting but cant be arsed to change the mode every single bloody time i set up the board.

this does not happen with the polytune.

is the difference in price justified? that i am not sure.
