I ve just tried tout compare the tuner of the helix and my polytune and while it is perfectly in tune with the plytune i am slightly out of tune with the helix... Somebody to explain? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Make sure the Input setting on the Helix preset is set to a single value, matching the physical input of the instrument you are tuning. For instance, set it to Guitar not Multi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsolle Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 I have already did that... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyHay Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Several threads about this. To get the tuner to work you need to roll back the tone knob on your guitar, change to neck pickup, hit the strings gently, hold your breath and stand on one leg. Easy if you have the time.

ponsolle Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Ok so there is nothing to do for now... I keep tuning with the tc waiting for a fix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I have no tuning anomalies at all with Helix tuner.Polytune is so sweet though that if you have it, just use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massimosevero Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I have no issues with the helix tuner, I have the polytune and boss tuner.... but really...don't need them in live gigs...maybe not the best tuner in the world but surely usable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Is the tuner set at 440 Hz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexKenivel Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Ignore the yellow fine tuner at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredzilla1964 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I had a bit of a panic moment with my tuner this morning... Plugged In, went to fine-tune and despite the fact that the guitar was basically in tune it was indicating extremely Sharp.... Took me a couple minutes to figure out that when I entered tuning mode I had drug a patch cable across the knob that adjusts the tuning frequency and moved it to 432 versus the usual A-440... For a minute I thought "damn the tuner issue"!! Otherwise I'very had zero issues with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal favorite is trying to chase down the cause of complete silence after I've powered everything up...plugging in the guitar seems to help with that. ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazz1977 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 The HX tuner is NOT accurate... not even close, it's sharp, hence why my pitchblack stays on my bass board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no discrepancy between the Helix and Peterson. As stated in another post you've contributed to... check your calibration. While you are at it, make sure offsets are not set or just turn them off completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works fantastic for many of us. Perhaps it is user error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
