Actually, my dad has gone through brain surgery and I've been staying very close to him.
I hope your Dad has a hassle free and speedy recovery.

Here is the last pedal board I made the one I made before was too heavy and bulky this one is two inches smaller all around and all the woods used are thinner, that made a huge difference

well, the Polytune NEVER reliably did a "poly-tune". it was ok tuning the E-C strings, it was super wobbly on the B string unless i did a 12th fret harmonic, and it could never do the Strum All Strings Open tuning thing it's s'posed to be able to do.

i only had it on my board for maybe 6 months, rarely plugged and unplugged it, and the input jack is all funky.

LOOKS like it's built like a tank. was just never that happy with it and it's already got problems.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and positive beams!!!

My dad had a rough surgery and still as a rough road ahead, but is actually recovering from surgery better than anyone expected; he's a real tough hombre. He also has a huge fan base here in Spokane and we've been partying on the neurology floor of the hospital.

i read the tc e polytune and still cant figure out the benefit of strumming all the strings and then tuning one string at a time. is it supposed to be for quick checks between songs or something? as in, you tune, and then a single strum tells you if you are in tune without checking one string at a time.

thats the only thing i can think of, and even that doesnt seem all that useful.

I think the real angle is for guitards who are going out of tune during the set don't need to find the bad string between songs because the tuner will find it for them. Makes for quicker fixes for guitards, but for bassists it's not usually going to be a tough find.

oh- that makes more sense. in my tunnel vision didnt consider that angle. if you had a whammy bar or really bend the hell out of your strings, that could be handy i suppose.

I felt the urge to say it because I cranked my amp today and cranked the Pork Loin volume...pure overdrive bliss. it's insane how good this sounds.

Try turning the low contour down. I noticed you have it turned up. I have my low contour and process both at 3. Might seem like its not doing anything but when you compare tones with it on and off you'll notice the punch and tone are improved
