Bought a Tonewood Amp for 165.00 It did sound good, after 2 years it quit. I never dropped it or left it outside, took excellent care of it. Bought it new from Sweetwater, who me they have in house technicians. Called them and was told to send it to Tonewood with a 100 check, and after 1 hour they charged 120 dollars an hour. They will overcharge you for repairs, knowing most people won’t pay this, then they will resale it .

Altho cool, i am still not convinced to buy a tonewood amp yet. If I am at home, plugging into my acoustic amp is simple… and more feature rich. Not to mention louder. I think the tonewood amp is great for if you’re gonna travel and don’t want to lug an amp around. I just can’t bring myself to buy one right now. But I may down the road. Cause I do love gadgets. So who knows. 😂

Yes, there is an input and output to run a 1/4 cable to an amp. I don’t use it because my amp and pedals have all the effects that I need. However, it may be good for someone who just runs it directly to a board, a clean amp setting or to a direct box then to the PA to get the effects and not want to hassle with carrying around effects pedals.

To be clear, at least the manufacturer claims it makes it louder. Not a lot, but the claim is that it can add 3-9db depending upon what effects you're using. I can't speak to whether or not it does, but at least one other person has told me that claim is accurate. Care to weigh in on that modest increase?
@rickfoell-lasvegassingermu8344
@rickfoell-lasvegassingermu8344 2 жыл бұрын
Well, overall I’d say it doesn’t actually “amplify” the sound that much louder. However, yes there are a couple of settings like the auto-wah and distortion settings that do give it a little bump up in db’s. But, to buy it with the thought that it’s a mini amplifier to increase the volume of your guitar would not be completely accurate. Thank you for pointing that out.

Hi. I have an accoustic guitar, body depth 2 1/4 inches deep. Not sure I could put the magnet inside and I presume it would be very difficult to remove it again(?) Can the Amp be attached to the guitar using strips of Blu-Tack, instead of the Magnet, please?
@rickfoell-lasvegassingermu8344
@rickfoell-lasvegassingermu8344 2 жыл бұрын
I’m not really sure if that would work or not. The magnets hold the unit tight against the back of the guitar so that the “round vibrating cup thing” (for lack of a better term) on the underside of the unit can send the different vibrating signals through the tone wood on the back of the guitar to get the different effects. That about the simplest way I can explain it.

It's funny how our playing styles tend to morph over the years often starting at rock on the electric guitar and then for me moving to finger style picking on the acoustic. The song you wrote is exactly the type of music I look for these days when I want to learn something new.

This was so great. When I heard about Tonewood, I kept thinking- I wonder what the reverb would sound like on “Is There Anybody Out There” or how the delay would sound for “Run Like Hell” (Another Brick in the Wall was close enough to get the idea). The one I still really want to hear is “Born on the Bayou” with that slower tremolo. I guess I’ll have to buy one and find out for myself!

One of the first people on KZbin (even from seemingly professional studio musicians) to understand that it's NOT an amp (IE a powered speaker that plays from an outside sound-source). Rather as he explained: "it vibrates the back & the tonewoods of your guitar, which give you different effects. Delay, Tremolo, etc." There is a more detailed explanation to be said technically, but this is basically what's happening. And this is important to understand, because it's actually changing the CHARACTER of the guitar's sounds. In other words, not only are the strings creating the guitar sounds, but so is the vibrating membrane pressed against the guitar. I will be explaining this in detail on my KZbin series, The Acoustic Rabbit Hole. One buyer on Amazon actually returned her amp, complaining that it wasn't "loud enough." SHE JUST DIDN"T UNDERSTAND, even giving it a thumbs-down! Great post here! (Also, great to see an American Flag here in knowledge that these units are made in Arizona, USA!). -- Cheers from The Acoustic Rabbit Hole in Bent, New Mexico.
