I know Molly bought one of these recently, looks amazing! Once I get the Katana the lack of tuner compared with the HD500X will be annoying, and I like the idea of this over plugging in my 25+ year old Boss tuner!

I've tried a few clip-on tuners and the only one that seems to be reliable is the Snark. Haven't tried these PolyTunes though.

I had a korg pitchblack clip on which was really good, but this looks like a definite step up!

I rely on my Snark these days. The ones we can get in NZ here are quite chunky though, I got my White Snark from fleabay, and it's just wonderful.

The PolyTune didn't get a great write-up in Guitarist because it said the chromatic mode disagreed with the strobe mode (or something like that). Personally, I love it. Not cheap though.

I think the strobe mode has a higher level of accuracy so it will disagree! But yes, it's spendy, but my other tuner has lasted me 25 years so hopefully this will too :lol:

i have one and it works well.Although i think the poly mode is garbage,both on this and the pedal model-its always a little flat.
but the chromatic mode is super fast and its easy to read, and quick to click on/off at bandpractice when the other guitarist doesnt have a tuner on them.

I use a Snark SN10 pedal tuner on my pedal board & found it to be quite good, and I still have my ancient Seiko ST-747 chromatic which must be around 25 -30 years old.
What is the model of your clipon?
