The TC Electronic UniTune Clip Noir tuner combines cutting-edge tuning technology with outstanding aesthetics and functionality, which makes it the perfect tool for musicians who wish to make no compromises in terms of speed or precision when tuning their instrument. The UniTune Clip has been designed to be a reliable partner for guitarists and bassists in any situation – whether they are quickly checking their tuning on stage or making sure everything is perfectly in tune before a recording – and offers two different tuning modes: Conventional chromatic tuning and high-precision “strobe” tuning, which offers an impressive accuracy level of ±0.02 cent.
Basic electronic guitar tuners only allow the open strings to be tuned individually to standard tuning (E, A, D, G, B, and E). The UniTune Clip, on the other hand, is a chromatic tuner, which means it recognises each note and allows each string to be tuned accordingly. It can also be attached in any orientation, and the display automatically rotates so that it is always the right way up. The tuner’s highly responsive piezo sensor rapidly analyses the pitch of the note being played, and the display indicates how much tuning adjustment is required. Unlike its bigger brother the PolyTune, the UniTune only displays the pitch of one string at a time, but since players usually only turn one machine head at a time anyway, they can still enjoy the same precision at a lower price.
Whether you are a beginner tuning your guitar or bass every day or a professional musician who likes experimenting with alternative tunings, the UniTune Clip will keep your instrument precisely in tune thanks to its high-speed tracking and its easy-to-read note display. Despite its extremely compact dimensions, the tuner’s bright swivel-mounted display with 108 LEDs ensures a clear overview at all times, even in the darkest corner of the rehearsal room. Thanks to its robust stainless-steel clip, the tuner – which weighs just 32 grams – will always stay firmly seated on the instrument’s headstock and secured against accidental slippage.
The Danish company TC Electronic has been known for its innovative products for many years. It was founded in 1976 by brothers Kim and John Rishøj in Aarhus. The company first made a name for itself with the SCF, a stereo chorus/flanger pedal for guitar. Studio equipment followed during the 80s and 90s, notably the legendary TC2290 digital delay in 19-inch rack format. Since the 2000s, TC Electronic has greatly enriched the guitar and bass scene with amplifiers, cabinets, combos, and effects pedals. Here too, TC's innovative spirit is in evidence, for example with its TonePrint technology and the first polyphonic guitar tuner. TC Electronic has been part of Music Tribe since 2015.
Thanks to its light weight and swivel-mounted display, the UniTune Clip can be attached discreetly to the headstock of virtually any stringed instrument – whether it’s an electric guitar, an acoustic instrument, a bass guitar, or even a ukulele. Its bright and easy-to-read LED display mean precise tuning takes no time at all, which is particularly valuable during live performances. What is more, musicians who regularly play in alternative tunings can always rely on the UniTune Clip whenever they choose to venture beyond the scope of regular “standard” tuning.
