The advantage of the capo: tone and vocals!

Simple: the advantage of the capo means that you do not need to change your chord progression in order to modulate (which is to change keys/tonalities).

If you place the capo on the 1st fret, then the key changed by half a step up.

Example:
If the song is based on the key of C and you move the capo to the 2nd fret, then the new key will be D major.

The major advantage is that you do not need to change your chord shapes.  Also, you get to move keys in a linear manner, giving your tone a significant change.

Good idea to set vocals to the right singing range for those of us that need to sing in a specific key.
