Intellitouch CT1 Capo Tuner - Silver

I got this to use on a classical guitar particularly for playing in church services. Because my pickup is phantom powered, it is too complicated to route my audio signal directly through a tuner. Nowhere do they tell you the width of this capo. It is about 2" [or 5 cm], so it does work on most classicals, though with no room to spare. While it is nice to get a reading on whether your strings are still in tune once the capo is clamped on, the problem for me is that one needs to strike the string loudly for the display to respond -- making it unusable during a service.

I like the Intellitouch products but I did give this Three stars because this is just okay for me-I like my old Intellitouch PT-2 better because I can see it easier even though it does not have a backlight-this CT1 is a little hard to see (one-you have to be dead on in front of the screen because if you are at an angel view it shows faintly) when the screen shows in the Red-"out of tune" but hard to see the levels left or right to determine if it is showing the arrows or markers too sharp or flat-(maybe it is just my color vision) the green color "in tune" is good and I can see fine. These points don't matter as much if you can hear the notes but if you are around a lot of noise with stage people or need to be silent while tuning, it is an issue for me. A little difficult to position to see when on the headstock unlike the other tuners that have a swivel socket for adjust ability-(remember you have to be right in front of it-an angel view is like a cell phone screen in the sun)same with when it is on the frets anywhere on the neck-capo function works like it should as a capo but I could take this one or leave it really and just use separate items for the job this does with itself -it came with a spare battery too.

After ordering this kapo I was concerned if it's design would interfere in any way with my cording due to the protruding display off the back of the neck. It proved to be of no concern and I couldn't bee happier with my choice. A 2 in 1 tool that so far has worked perfectly. The display lights green when the proper tune is hit. Highly recommend for a gift idea also.

Works well on some strings, just sits there and waits on other strings. I think of these as frequency "dead spots." Purchased for use with a 12 string. As a capo, not bad, but not as good as my Kyser. As a tuner, the dead spot thing is the deal breaker. I have other tuners that work just fine on the same guitars, and you'd think the capo tuner would "hear" the string better, being right on the neck. Not so. Intellitouch is going back I think.Another drawback on this design is that the tuner is not so easy to read as you move it higher on the neck. A tilt-able display would make it much more readable in higher positions.I've tried this on 6 and 12 string guitars, acoustic and electric. The dead-spots occur on all of them. This is not the only tuner with the issue. Recently picked up a Korg Pitchhawk-g as a deal of the day just to have an extra one. I'm amazed that established companies will sell these things with such sketchy performance.For the 12 string I am using a Peterson strobe clip-on. I thought it was a little extravagant at the time but it works. It just works. Imagine that, Intellitouch. Imagine that, Korg.

A lot of idiots dont know anything about guitars when they try to use this tuner. If you know your strings and what Hz you want to be on (like any tuner) this is a great product. If youre an idiot and think the guitar tunes itself, go back to imagination land and quit giving bad reviews because its not the tuner genius

I have used several different types of capo and tuners before and this one works OK for both. The tuner is a little touchy and tends to jump between notes more than my other tuners have in the past. Once you get close (very close) to the right note it seems to hone in just fine though. I checked it against my other tuner and seems to the same, so no issues once you get it tuned in.

This tuner makes all the others obsolete. After I got this tuner I sold my other ones. Smart idea for guitar and banjo pickers. Works great on the scroll of my fiddle also in holding on while I'm tuning up to play. But everyone knows fiddles don't use capos. I ordered another one it's so good.

Great capo! the tuner works pretty good I'd say but it isnt the best tuner ive ever had. Still does the job and does it well. Worth every dollar though? absolutely. Get it.
