Thomann CTM-700

I use the metronome/tuner for guitar practice.

For the price the product is good, it has a lot of features and is easy to start using right away. However it has a software problem with tuner, where it would show a completely wrong tone until the battery is removed - which fixes the problem for a while.

Pros are ease of use, design and features. Really big display makes it really easy to see, and it is really bright with decent viewing angles (except from above, those aren't good). Sound output of metronome is decent and allows for practice, but is a bit quiet if you're practicing drums (need headphones + mufflers). Case is robust and looks nice. It is fairly easy to figure out without the use of manual. Tuner is full chromatic (with different modes for guitar bass etc.) and metronome has several rhythm modes. You can plug your electric guitar to tune (silently) in noisy environments.

The con is the bug with tuner showing the wrong tone - it has happened to me several times now on 3 separate units I've bought (I own 4) - hence the 'okay' for quality. Removing the battery for 10 seconds fixes the problem temporarily. The tuner response is a bit slow, but I haven't found it to be an issue.

Overall good!

For the price, it's quite amazing how many features this little thing packs. Metronome with small speaker and headphone jack, tuner with in-line input and output, live microphone and clip-on sensor for acoustic instruments.
The build is plastic but if you don't abuse it, it will hold up fine.

Only cons: the microphone (on my unit at least) is not very sensitive and you have to play or sing at a very loud volume for it to sense the note. And the output is very noisy, so there's no chance to place it permanently on a signal-effect chain, like you would do with a tuner pedal with true bypass.

But for home use, it's really great value for money!

I use this product as a metronome at home for guitar practice, but it can do much more. My review on functionality is based on using it as a metronome.

Metronome wise it is very easy to use and the display is clear and sound(s) and level of same is adjustable and I have no complaints and it works flawlessly. Batteries last a long time, not sure how long but have not had to change them yet.

The price is super cheap, a total steal and this is considering me only using it as metronome.. For those that want to use as tuner the cost/benefit is even better.

Build quality does feel cheap and plasticky, and while I suspect the display would survive a drop to the floor, I am not sure the case would. Given the price I am not complaining and I just hope I do not have to test it being dropped.

I would definitely buy another should this one break/cease to function (likely buy 2 if it were to happen)

I can´t complain about the value as it´s very accurate and I used it for intonation several times now with good results. It´s practical that you can use the built in mic, the clip or plug the instrument in directly.

My biggest issue with it is that there´s no indication on the display if someone has pressed the M/T button and shifted the chromatic tuning to a different key, so you can´t tell if it´s in a "strange" mode I don´t see any use of in the first place. I sent my 10-year old to guitar class with a guitar tuned to D because of that and I also saw another review claiming there is a bug making it show the wrong notes until you remove the battery.
