This is a cool little device. It's easy to read with the big display and the Green/Red colors. It works really well; Even in a somewhat noisy area, it picked up the guitar well.
It is a bit smaller than I expected, which I imagine can have some issues with staying put on some of the bigger headstocks out there (like on my Ovation) but it is over-all an awesome little device.

Today I received Intellitouch P20 and the cheapest Snark on the market. I was very surprised to find out that Intellitouch does not pick up E string on bass. Their description specifically stated that it works on basses amongst numerous other instruments. I tried placing it in different locations, to no avail. Then I tried Snark which is meant for a guitar. It picked up the E string immediately. Then I tried B string on my 5-string, and guess what, Snark picked that up too. Wow! The material on the Intellitech seems to be some what fragile plastic by comparison to Snark, which is made of what seems to be some rubbery compound. Intellitouch really needs to work on their product.

Comments about Intellitouch PT20 Clip-On Tuner:
Well built, good price, fast, easy and accurate.
I had an original On Board for 10 years until it died. The PT20 is even better. The clip on is very secure; the showing green when in tune is an added feature and it is easy to read. I tried a Fishman F1 first and it was terrible--unstable, slow and the backlite kept truning off.
Pros
- Compact
- Easy To Use
- Functional
- Good Quality
Cons
- Small for some guitars

I had the original intellitouch on-board tuner & used it for years. it was big, but worked fine. maybe this pt-20 i got is just a lemon. it has performed poorly since the day i got it. i have just replaced it with the planet waves ns-mini tuner.

Comments about Intellitouch PT20 Clip-On Tuner:

I used the original Intelitouch tuner for 20 years before it fell apart. I got a basic Snark tuner last year and was never been happy with it, not accurate. This new Intelitouch PT20 does what I want it to do and it's very accurate, just like the original. The price is good too.

Best Uses
Comments about Intellitouch PT20 Clip-On Tuner:
Never had a problem with an electric or acoustic guitar. Used it for the first time on a bass guitar and it did not pick up any of the strings. I think this is programed to only pick up frequencies on the higher end and cannot read the lower frequencies of a Bass. If you are looking to find a tuner for your bass guitar, do not buy this.

Comments about Intellitouch PT20 Clip-On Tuner:
Acoustic bass player. Kitchen jammer for 20 years. Why acoustic bass? Campfires rarely have AC outlets. Been using Intellitouch since they were the ONLY clip-on tuner. This is my second Intellitouch and my first is still working, now my back-up. Nuff said?

Comments about Intellitouch PT20 Clip-On Tuner:
This works fine with my acoustic guitar, but not with my electrics. The vibrations must not be strong enough to make the tuner register the pitch properly. The little bars jump back and forth maddeningly, which makes for an overall frustrating experience.

Comments about Intellitouch PT20 Clip-On Tuner:
I'm a beginner and sound bad enough when my guitar was in tune, but was frustrated with not being about to use all the apps and guitar site's built in tuners, and needed a real one. Just clip it on and start and it tells you what note your string is playing and how sharp or flat, and turn bright green when you're spot on. Simple to use.
