  • TC polytune every time, had mine for 6 months now, better than my previous Boss TU-10 & streets ahead of some of the budget ones I've used

  • yep, never looked back after I got the TC Polytune, been through 2 or 3 others but the TC is the one.

  • I have a TC and a Peterson, I prefer the Peterson but the TC is smaller if that is an issue for you.

  • Actually I have a Snark too but it chews through batteries something rotten.

  • +1 for the TC 

    I've got a couple of snarks as well, but they never get a look in now

    Polytune. More reliable than snark.

    +1 for the TC. -1 for the Snark though,  the plastic has on the clip is actually made of cheddar.

    I have a newer TC but it’s relegated to a drawer in favour of the old Snark which I find far more adjustable and easy to handle.

    Walter Trout played his entire gig in Glasgow recently with a blue Snark on the headstock of his 70s strat.

    I’ve always thought they look a bit crap on the headstock but it’d be good to ditch the tuner and spare some space on the board.

    Interesting that the snark is not so well received on the whole here, maybe I'll check out the polytune.

    Worth the 20 odd quid price increase?

    I've only ever used Snark tuners and they've been fine.

    I use a Snark. It seems a little temperamental but fine for home use. Wouldn't want to gig it though.

    I have a D"Addario plus a couple of those £2 ones Reverb were doing last year & a TC.
    They all work fine, I only play at home, but the TC definitely seems better made IMO & the battery lasts longer, again IMO.
    I have tuners built in to 2 of my amps & a multi FX pedal I have & all 4 clip on"s seem accurate when compared to them.
