Mike Dawes Review of the ToneWoodAmp - Witchcraft & Wizardry

[@tdz69]

Gave this thing a go. Not impressed enough to keep it. One thing to know is this is a battery KILLER. I have not experience anything prior to this that drains batteries so quickly. Use rechargeable right? Wrong. Most rechargeables are slightly bigger than store bought AA’s. They get stuck in the compartment and I had to pry it out. Tomewood suggests taping them together.

[@nancyshumway4418]

Wow I am so excited to hear mine on my guitar my babes installed it needed strings anyway so he taped it up but he did put the X piece first! Then he taped the unit in the right spot. I am terrible at putting strings on so waiting on him to come over to put the strings on! I think you are the best for the style of your music. How do I get vinyl of all of your albums? Please contact me if you would

[@timrizzo3941]

Great info, I've finally pulled the trigger on one of these. One thing I'm particularly looking for not addressed in the video is a bit of a volume bump, esp for fingerpicking. IIRC the literature says you can expect a 3-9db bump from it. Anybody want to comment on the accuracy of that, say for clean playing so leaving out overdrive and feedback? TIA

[@BrettBolzenthal]

@mikedawesmusic Got any tips for this common Finger Picking settings question?

[@dancampbell9090]

They need to do a vocal version, with some gadget that you wear or insert within the person, so that you can dont need a mic and can sing like David Coverdale, I think that would sell.

[@danluther1741]

Dude, you in the bathtub got me! 😂 love your playing & this may be the coolest gadget ever!!

[@avishekniraula3740]

I tried to test the sound of tonewood amp sticking at back of my guitar(taylor gs mini koa plus) with tape but without setting up X brace inside guitar. The amp was turned on, displaying multiple effects and parameters options, also connected pickup to guitar as well. But it didn’t give any sound. Am i doing something wrong or fault on amp?

[@Nostrologyy]

I bought one, returned it 2 days later. Been playing for over 7 years acoustically, just didn't really strike my interest. You can get better results out of a regular old amp. I guess it's somewhat about convenience and the ability to take some reverb on the go??..but nonetheless it doesn't really sound as great as these videos make it to be...IN my humble opinion.

[@XyzyX154]

I just get the tonewood amp yesterday. I'll tell you guys it is truly magical. I can't play without it anymore. It's like a non dangerous drug for me. I wake up today and the first thing i remember was where is my tonewood i need to play it today. Simply magic.

[@marcosrivas4603]

no ... yes is cool but it needs a rechargeble battery , something you can change in a given moment and also can be charged with a cable ; overnight !

[@JokaRed3]

How come it doesn’t have stereo chorus? That’s all it’s missing.

[@pietersmidt8593]

I Saw Mike using this on Rick Beato's Channel and got mine a few days ago! Loving it so far. I have been working on some Tommy Emmanuel songs. I have saved a few presets that really help bring out the melody on the top strings for songs like Lewis & Clark. When I started focusing on acoustic fingerstyle guitar last year I told myself no technology to make myself sound better, somehow this doesn't seem like cheating..lol An easy way to recall a preset while playing would be a fun option.

[@steevencoogan8754]

LOL you should wait for the 2nd edition will be out in kickstarter tommorow 😂 but still the old one is nice

[@williamsdenzel39]

What a very helpful and articulate teacher! You make learning easy thank you good sir

[@mickeypastor5130]

this would be interesting on a violin or cello.

[@TheNurdler]

Tricky putting your hand inside= would need a different way of adding magnets.

[@BrettBolzenthal]

Mike Dawes is Legendary Himself. After seeing what he can do, and watching him demonstrate the many capabilities this is genius! Ive seen videos from other recording artists that exclusively play acoustic, use pedal boards with pre-amp, bass pedal, and many more as they struggled to get the sounds they wanted for the Acoustic. Your talking thousands of dollars they spent... And this gadget is able to do virtually everything that those pedal boards have on one incredible unit that saves you hundreds or thousands of dollars and without the need for a pedal board to set up and lug around. Thank you for show casing this incredible Tonewood Amp!!! 👊 PS Funny thing, I did just see a Unicorn 🦄 walk by...😂

[@FlowMeter]

LOVE IT! I have one on a Seagull and I have to say this INSPIRES me to play.. I have been using the Plate but I will try the Hall like Mike says! I wanna try the Chorus.. Will have to download!

[@FlowMeter]

@James Sonatore was it a good thing? There are a bunch of effects you can do and where the amp is placed does make a difference.

[@stephen25uk]

You covered everything except how it sticks to the back of an acoustic guitar. Magnetically just doesn't cut it Mike, guitars are wood??

[@riverrage]

You stick a magnet on the inside of your guitar

[@stephen25uk]

@@riverrage Thanks.

[@nickmancini3215]

I didn't like it. I sent mine back.

[@DavisMakers-ki6ij]

Thanks for the info. Very knowledgeable and informative

[@dukeofearl4117]

I got one when it first came out. I have X-braces on 4 of my guitars. It sounds especially wonderful on my Martins.

[@richardlynch5632]

Great video Mr. Dawes😎👍 Your editing...very fun😎👍❤ Can't do without my ToneWood Amp. Your visit with Andertons is a favorite for everyone's reactions...Hilarious 😎👍 😎👍❤🖖 Love folks

[@darylshawnmusic]

"Unplug". Step 1 of the instructions: plug it into your guitar's pickup

[@davy_pwc]

Hi Team, with Tenavolts batteries, can it overcharged and damage the batteries if we leave it overnight for charging ? Or it has a automatic power cut once the charge is complete so it save to leave it overnight? And do you have the link to download the chorus effect and how to upload it ? Thanks

[@colleenlarkins7859]

I want to buy a Guitar what is the best kind? Do you sell any guitars?

[@danilofriolani]

just bought mine and am looking forward to having it here in brazil

[@joshuafreedman7703]

But it does require that your guitar is equipped with a piezo pickup that you plug into it.

[@seanl2121]

It takes 30 minutes to install for an incompetent person (me)

[@rickk5820]

Informative and entertaining, thank you for making this video

[@stampscapes]

Amazing

[@ceferinocarpio]

Somehow got the Owen Wilson wow here but not in Loki smh

[@gmaster77able]

[@musicandthewalk]

Hey does the delay have a dotted eight option?

[@donwhitehead4231]

[@Corbs_]

[@taylorvenn2203]

Excellent review!

[@kevinlentz7604]

[@jakeminor1967]

Thanks for this, Mike. Needed and helpful. And you're right, it is awesome!

[@jakdupp4585]
