ðŸŽĩ The Last Piece

HO HO HO! My pedalboard is finally complete, after a year of constant pedal-hunting. Welcome to pedalboard version 2.0!!! Ironically, the tuner pedal is one of the first few pedals to come to my mind but the last one to land in my hands. I just didn't have enough reasons to buy it before my other pedals.

This morning, I spotted a mint condition TC Polytune 2 going on sale on Carousell. Seller listed it "few moments ago" and I immediately offered. Seller immediately accepted and within an hour, the pedal is in my hands. Super duper fast deal!

Sweet condition! :)

For a $100 second-hand pedal, it is in amazing condition. Funny thing is, the seller attached the loop side of the velcro onto the pedal (usually people attach the hook side). The reason I favour the Polytune over the Boss Tuner is because it looks cooler.

Seriously. Ok, just kidding. I have 2 other TC Electronic pedals (HoF and Corona) and their backplates and knobs are interchangeable so I do get to mix them up to create my custom colours (shown in the first picture). The good thing about this pedal is, there is a courtesy output power, which is really useful in my opinion.

Still gotta do "daisy chain" after all.

With the TC Polytune, I quickly wired it up and now my pedalboard feels awesome. From now on, there won't be much new pedals coming in. My pedalboard has reached the maximum number of pedals it can hold. I could literally stare at it the whole day man!

However, since there is no end to tone-chasing, I do admit I could use better quality dirt pedals. But nope, that's it. For now. Time to take a break from the pedalboard business by taking time to use these pedals before anything else changes again!

P.S. In case I don't post anything else for the rest of this month: Have a merry Christmas in advance!

***Update as of 5th October 2018: This Polytune 2 is no longer with me. It has been sold for $80.
