Acoustic Effects- No Amp Required! ToneWoodAmp SOLO Multi-Effect Processor for Acoustic-Electric Guitars (Right Handed)

I got this thing for my acoustic guitar and It’s very well made and ingenious. Practically, because the pickups on an acoustic electric guitar pick up the vibrations of the metal cored strings, and do not pick up the vibrations of the wood; these guys created something that takes the signal from the pickups and feeds it back into the guitar's own body and the wood resonates in complement to the original sound. Simple but Mind blowing. I used reverb and chorus but it has other settings as well. The manual goes in depth with all its functions and installation but I didn't read it so I am not sure I am getting the most out of it but, whatever I am getting out of it is nothing short of amazing.The sound if my guitar is now fuller, almost like there are string instruments or ambient sounds coming from my guitar itself that match my chords/notes. I am not a good guitar player but, my playing sounds better. It’s like when you sing without reverb and then you add reverb. It smoothes things down and, in my opinion, makes it sound better. I found myself doing more vibratos because it sounds so good with reverb. I really like it and highly recommend it.Now, I did not think there was a lefty and righty unit (my mistake) so I bought the wrong one and returned it: don’t be like me.Installation is pretty easy too. The manual tells you how to do it but what i did was basically put the unit in the back of my guitar and tried different locations until it sounded best (to me). Then you lower the tension in the strings, stick your hand in the guitar and place the x brave in: thats it. Retune your guitar and you are good to go.Buy it: you wont regret it.

Before purchasing the Tonewood Amp, I did a lot of research reading reviews. Upon purchasing one to install on my Fender Classic Design 12string, I was worried that the internal magnet brace would be difficult to place properly, due to the fact that I had a Bridge Doctor installed to prevent sound board warping. I was worried this would deaden the effect of the Tonewood.No such problem occurred. The installation was easy. The brace was smaller than I expected.And the amp worked perfectly the first try. My guitar already had a Fishman preamp and bridge pickup installed, and all I had to do was turn down the gain a bit on the Amp.The volume of the effects is quite loud, and can even amplify a clean guitar sound by adjusting the effects and reverb. Feedback does become an issue, but can easily be controlled between the Fishman Volume control and the Tonewood volume and gain.I am very impressed by the overall package design.Compact, aesthetic and functional. The ease of use probably could not be improved upon.I have played for several hours and my alkaline battery level has dropped only 1/2 a volt. Not sure what the usable voltage range is, but I went ahead and bought the Lithium-ion rechargeables, so no real issue there.My conclusion after reading the negative reviews, particularly the ones saying it doesn’t sound as good as the YouTube videos, is that those reviewers must be doing something grievously wrong.I have had no contact with customer service, so I can’t really comment on that, other than I haven’t had to contact them. No problems here.

This thing sounds great. Use it straight acoustic and also plug it in and run through our Church PA.

Added this to a Klos carbon fiber travel hybrid guitar. Here are some tips:1. Turn back the gain, turn up the volume.2. If it stops amplifying, change the 9v battery inside your acoustic/electric guitar.3. Keep both 9v and AA batteries on hand. It does use a lot of battery power.4. Make sure that the little amplifier contact grommet (the rubber donut on the back of the amp) is flat against the back of the guitar.5. Try adjusting your guitar's pickup volume back to about 5 or 6, not full volume.There's a sweet spot when you do all of these adjustments and the tone is very nice. Play around with it. Remember, when you find your setting, you can "lock" it into place. It's pretty nice. A bit too expensive, though. 3 stars for that.UPDATE 9/22/2023 - No, it's worse than all that. The little device lost volume and began to buzz no matter how diligently I worked to place it correctly. It made me feel like a kid with a broken toy. Frustrated and irritated. Not worth the money or the effort. I don't recommend this device. I am returning it on Monday. I'll update when the refund has been issued, but I suggest you save your money and use a real amp if you're playing an acoustic/electric guitar.

This is a pretty cool way to vary the sound of your guitar when playing in a purely acoustic setting. It has a nice range of reverb effects, delay, chorus, and tremolo. I've found its autowah effect to be particularly prone to feedback (at least with my guitar) - so much so that I basically never use it.Installation is reasonably easy. There's a little learning curve to understand the controls, but it's not bad.Feedback can be an issue. The guitar I use it with has no gain control on its pickup, which means the only variables I can control are the position of the unit on the back of the guitar, and the gain and volume I apply to the effects. Even so, it works great most of the time - just once in a while I have to take a second to get it under control.

I've had my Tonewood for two months, and I can't play my acoustic without it now. It completely changes the guitar, and breathes so much life into everything I play. I play exclusively fingerstyle, so I can't speak much for picking, but I'm sure it still sounds phenomenal. Even the most simple stuff sounds amazing with the reverb on. I've wanted one for years, and I'm so glad I got mine. I can't recommend this enough. The only complaint I have is that it can be a little tricky to change the batteries. I had to change the batteries pretty quickly, but that's just because I use it so much! The first set of batteries lasted a few weeks, the second set has lasted a bit longer. If you're on the fence about getting this, just do it, you won't regret it.

Je cherchais depuis longtemps une guitare électro acoustique avec un son riche, large et profond. Probablement une Jumbo ou Super-Jumbo en bois plein ferait l'affaire mais extrêmement couteuse...Avec le ToneWoodAmp n'importe quelle guitare atteint une qualité de son étonnante ! (pour moins de $$$ qu'une nouvelle guitare!!!) Et pas besoin de trainer amplificateur, électricité et filage... TRÈS SATISFAIT !!!

Zunächst muss man darauf achten, dass die Gitarre nicht einen zu stark gewölbten Boden hat., da die Halteleisten dann nicht korrekt flächig am Boden anliegen. Eine leichte Wölbung ist aber ok.Und die Gitarre braucht einen Tonabnehmer mit Preamp sonst funktioniert es nicht.Als erstes sollte man das Gerät mit einfachen Maler-Klebeband am Gitarrenboden befestigen und den Sound ausprobieren. Danach dann den Einbau machen. Es gibt auf der Internetseite des Herstellers ein ausführliches User Manual, allerdings nur in Englisch. Zum Einbau der Magnethalters in den Gitarrenkorpus entfernt man die Saiten und klebt das X-Brace mit den Magneten zwischen die Stege im hinteren Bereich auf den Gitarrenboden. Eine kleine Taschenlampe im Korpus ist hier sehr hilfreich. Dann die Saiten wieder aufspannen und den ToneWoodAmp von außen an die Magnete anklicken. Die Einstellung der Effekte ist selbsterklärend und einfach: Der Linke Drehknopf stellt die 8 verschiedenen Effekte ein. Man muss dreimal drehen um zum nächsten Effekt zukommen. Der mittlere Knopf stellt die Effektparameter (3x klicken = 3 Parameter) und der rechte das Gain und die Gesamtlautstärke. Außerdem gibt es noch je Effekt 10 Speicherplätze für eingestellte Sounds und Grundeinstellungen. Die Sounds sind alle gut, hier gilt wie immer bei Effekten: weniger ist mehr! Man muss schon etwas länger ausprobieren, um seinen persönlichen Sound hin zu bekommen. Für kleine Wohnzimmerkonzerte, zum Aufpeppen des reinen Gitarrenklangs und für Campingmusik absolut empfehlenswert! Ich habe das englische Manual ins Deutsche übersetzt, bei Interesse Anfragen per mail an [email protected]äge: Batterien klemmen etwas im Batteriefach, müssten etwas mehr Platz haben Die Metall-Leisten an der Rückseite (zum Anklicken an die Magnete) solltenleicht schwenkbar, wie eine Wippe, in Richtung der Wölbung des Gitarrenbodens sein. Dadurch würden auch Gitarren mit stärkerer Wölbung keine Probleme bereiten. Ich spiele eine Crafter TA mit Cutaway. Der Boden ist ganz leicht gewölbt, keine Probleme mit dem Halt! Und der Sound ist toll! Alles in Allem: Super Gerät, habe lange nach so etwas gesucht,

Una pasada !! No molesta nada a la hora de tocar la instalación es simple y sencilla tiene unos efectos chulísimos y un sonido inmejorable ....ideal para hacer sonidos acústicos bonitos con guitarra percusiva ......el cuerpo de la guitarra hace de amplificador y sorprende la calidad del sonido ( yo tengo una Alhambra W4 de Luthier )...lo único que no me gusta es que se bebe las pilas y más si subes volumen ....
