ToneWoodAmp anyone tried one?

KEENS!!! I just bought a pair of their sneakers, they are awesome, I'm sold.

I have my last set of Keens a fairly bad review but being th skins of guy who has to know why something isn’t working I started messing with the boots. Turns out it isn’t the boot but the narrow little insole they put in. I pulled it out and all of my foot pain went away. The set in there were pushing the outsides of my soles up and it was really a problem. Now no issues so if your keens give you some problems it may very well be the insoles.

I haven't tried it, i only use it through the guitar so far. I may have plugged it into a guitar amp for a minute but i can't remember

What’s funny is I was all hopes up on trying not with the MB and Jr Barnyard into the K10 but still haven’t gotten around to it. When I do get a chance to play it is usually right before bed so the Martin sits in its case next to my bed. So I just grab and go with the TWA of course but nothing else.

ordered my son a birthday present from Sweetwater and talked with my rep somehow he sweetens the deal a little and one of these wound up on its way as well. I’m going to gamble that I’ll like it and that it will work with the K&K pickup in my 000.

YOU WILL LOVE IT

I have not seen one in person. Yamaha has a line of TransAcoustic guitars with a similar type of built-in amp/effect unit, in steel string and nylon string models. I would be interested to see what one of those ToneWood amps sounds like on a 12-string.

Yeah, not sure why you would put one in a Martin, it is already an acoustic cannon, but cool to have some of those built-in effects when not even plugged in to an amp.

I WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE YAMAHA SET UP (TRANSACOUSTIC), THE TONE WOOD AMP IS MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE.

Had it for almost a year now. I like it but I could have done without it. It is much more noticeable, to my ear, out front. I can hear it but I really don't need it and since I mostly play for me, in hindsight it isn't needed. If I gigged I could put it to use much more than at home. Miced it really shines.

Anyone put it inside a Gretsch body? Will it fit through a pickup hole? Will it help while playing on the couch unplugged?

More of a question for their forum. I haven't bought another internal brace for it so I haven't tried to install it on the Penguin Rancher. Depends on where the back bracing sits.

I totally had to try it, the basic echo is really dope, but man autowah and overdrive are kinda wild!

I will at some point update mine and get rid of the autowah for the chorus. I didn't bond with the autowah or overdrive. While I love the reverbs and echo! I expect the reason I didn't bond with those is that it is in my 000. I love those things with pedals on my Penguin.

How the heck did you get that brace mounted inside the hollowbody? I was worried it wouldn't fit and then if it did the back resonance wouldn't be enough to really get the full effect from it.

Ha, I used some string around the bracket put it inside through a pickup hole. I then held the rope through the f hole to keep the bracket off the body until placement, while I used tweezers to remove the wax paper off the adhesive feet.

Once the feet were ready I guided it into place by the top bout with the string and placed it down. Stuck the amp on back and pressed down to secure. Definitely a measure twice attempt once thing!

I didn't realize that hole was big enough to even work like that! Nice job! So all in all are you pretty happy with it? It seems like it is in your clips!
I'm seeing some crazy faces in that first picture. Is it a sticker or applique? At first glance, I thought it was an inlay but once the images popped out I didn't think so anymore.

Yeah, that's definitely a sticker. It's the Goosebumps G, so it's got some characters from the book. I feel like it's a cool twist off the branded G that usually comes on a Gretsch!

I use one with my Gretsch jumbo rancher and it fits fine...just wish the magnets were a bit stronger.
