HardWire has announced the HT-6 Polyphonic Tuner, a tuner for guitarists and bassists that can be used to tune all 6 strings of an instrument simultaneously.
Based on technology from 3dB Research, the HT-6 is designed to make tuning instruments faster and easier by strumming all strings and viewing the ‘string’ display readout as to which string is in or out of tune.
The HT-6 Polyphonic Tuner pedal interface is similar to chromatic tuning pedals, but features standard effects pedal, 6 rows of LED lights (one for each string) and an LED display matrix that represents the six strings of a guitar or bass. Two buttons on the HT-6 Tuner’s top display panel are used for selecting display modes (Mode) and tuning references (Tuning).
HT-6 features
- True Bypass circuitry preserves your tone when bypassed.
- 5 Tuning Modes: Standard, Drop-D, 4-String, 5-String, and 6-String Bass.
- Player intuitive display with 90 LEDs, 15 per string, so you can quickly see which strings need to be tuned.
