I am not a performing musician any longer but the ToneWoodAmp sounds very nice on my Taylor GC-8. Installing was a bit challenging and the extra weight on the guitar is off-putting a bit, but I’m glad that I got it!
I was excited to get the ToneWoodAmp for my Takamine accoustic. Fitting it was pretty easy, and setting up the correct levels took a bit of fiddling (Takamine have a powerful preamp in their excellent pickups) but afterwards it sounded truly extraordinary. I bought an extra X-brace, and wanted to see if I could fit it into my Trinity College Irish Bouzouki. I could only just get my hand inside the much smaller sound hole, but the X-brace went in and located just fine. The Trinity doesn't have a built in pickup, so I'm using a Schatten BM-1 PRO Passive piezo pickup stuck on the bridge. The output of the passive pickup is very different from the guitar with the powered internal preamp, so you need to set the master gain differently, but once it's correctly adjusted the ToneWoodAmp sounds fanatastic with the 'zook (and you can save the different set-up into the memory to quickly switch the amp between instruments.) The ToneWoodAmp adds so much to both instruments, it makes me want to play until my fingertips are sore. Totally worth the investment - I'd recommend to anyone!
I’ve seen this for years now and wanted to try one. It’s amazing a piece of gear for any Acoustic musician to own. I’ve not yet even scratched the surface on what it’s capable of. I’m planning on using it live thru the line out to my small PA rig for those small intimate venues where I want the effect. It’s easy to adjust the gain, volume and parameters. I’m glad I am a Tonewood Owner.
I was amazed at the sound. Little effort to install once you watch the video. (Highly recommended) maybe twice. After watching the video it was a simple and quite fast. The tones are AMAZING. So thankful for the ad in FaceBook. You all are amazingly talented
Fantastic only recommendation is to have internal battery recharge on board. Eats batteries!
Everything went smoothly and best...quickly. My ToneWoodAmp works again!
The support representative was knowledgeable and helpful. The board shipped immediately and when I installed it, it worked perfectly. I have 5 guitars that have the X-Brace and the Tonewood Amp is the cornerstone of my music journey.
X bar can become dislodged when unit is not attached, effects are not that impressive ...
I've been curious for years but I try to be very financially responsible. This year when I got my Tax-refund I decided to pull the trigger and treat myself because of the open box special. When it arrived I immediatley installed it. Way easier than I thought. and after 20ish minutes I had it dialed in perfectly. So many awesome effects but the delay is my favorite. I'm really looking forward to getting my next acoustic and another x-brace to move it back and forth between the two. Lit a fire under me I didn't know I had left in me.
I no longer play guitar without my ToneWood Amp. I ordered an additional x brace and installed it on a second guitar. I can now switch guitars onstage in 5 seconds or so. The Tonewood Amp is attached to whichever guitar I am playing. Both guitars sound so much better just using a mic rather than plugging the guitars into amplifiers. The sound of my TWD enhanced guitars is helping me to reach the next level in performance and songwriting.. I exclusively use Tenavolt rechargeable batteries. Tenavolts put out 2.1vdc when fully charged. This is a noticeable difference in the TWD Amp performance. Be sure to peel off the blue plastic wrappers on the Tenavolts, so they fit into the Tonewood Amp...
Great product and would recommend it to any musician
Absolutely love it what a brilliant idea way to go!!
This amp is very fun to explore. Huge variations available. To combine or use single effects. It gives my Taylor a very nice voicing options. It’s a keeper!!
Amazing as all my x brace i have !! Thank you so mutch ☺️☺️
I was skeptical, but now im very impressed !!
I want this on all my stringed instruments
The repair or replacement is nicely done. Works like it used to .Thank you.
The effects are great. Haven’t had time to try it all yet but so far so good.
Luv this device.. I use it on three different guitars… sounds really nice with the takamine, gibson or martin!!!
Got one for my hubby for Christmas and helped my dad get set up with one for himself! Game changer!
My ToneWood arrived quickly. Very easy set up. Adds so many tone options to my guitar. I have been playing around with it daily. I haven’t even mate it through a fraction of all the variations it provides. Very happy with this device and how in enhances each song. It will take me a year to get through all the possibilities this device provides. And with the Fishman pickup, does not cause and permanent changes to my guitar. Nice job ToneWood!
It took some time getting it setup properly, but it was worth it. I love it so much I got an extra brace for my other acoustic.
I love it. Actually recorded with it and it sounds great.
