I owned the original TW, but hadn’t used it for a couple years after getting a new expensive pickup on my acoustic. I had a new bridge put on recently and could not get rid of the boominess after doing everything suggested by the pickup manufacturer. I brought out the original TW and it fixed the problem. I knew there was a newer TW out there and ordered it. I can’t say enough on how it replicates the sound of my 22 year old Brazilian rosewood guitar. I’m still learning, but I am very pleased with the TW2 so far. I love the fact that all the effects are on the iPhone app, and it’s user friendly. And made in the 🇺🇸USA🇺🇸 to boot!
Love the ease of using it and easy to install in minutes
I purchased the 1st version and loved it. I did not like how often I would have to switch out batteries and it ended up with a connection issue that was intermittent and I never got it fixed. The new version II is wonderful! It is greatly improved with the rechargeable battery and the App. So much more control and I feel like the new version has a lot more volume! Also, even though there are ways to control feedback, it is possible to get super cool effects by incorporating feedback!
I am a novice player, and am thrilled with how easy and intuitive it is to use the TW2. Thank you.
I like it as lot. It’s easy to use and it sounds great.
Stellar product. So glad I upgraded from the OG ToneWood…
I enjoyed my first edition TWA for three years before it began to act strangely, and then I read all about some of that stuff and how the TWA2 was coming out and had addressed the issues. This new one - TWA2 - is amazing! The effects are smoother, yet more present. I love the phone app! Making adjustments is a breeze and the visual interface is simple and easy to learn without need of instruction or manuals, although that 5-step tour when you first download the app was very simple, direct, and helpful. The slimmer profile, improved screen, and, in particular, the USB charging versus AA batteries are all great upgrades from the original TWA. Highly recommend the TWA2!
I've been using this new Tonewood Amp 2 for 2 weeks now and I am in love with it. I haven't had the opportunity to use it in line to my acoustic amp/PA yet, but I am looking forward it's response live. It's the best purchase I have made in years. VERY happy with it!!!
I liked using the first gen but it wasn’t a perfect unit, particularly with the software (on the unit) and felt there was significant lag to the buttons, etc. The new version is much much improved in responsiveness when using the mobile app (I’ve only used it with the mobile app). Sounds and effects are a step up (or two) improvement over v1.0. Highly recommend it for all acoustic guitar players!
After two weeks of experimenting with my new Tonewood Amp 2 it is clear I will have many years ahead of me with new sounds and fun times. The tonewood amp 2 is very user friendly. The X brace was easy to install and the instructional videos provided were very helpful. The smartphone app is user friendly and again the instructional set up videos were very helpful. The sounds are easy to adjust and allows for flexible playing and fun sound experimenting. The battery life is also very good, I have used it for many hours now and it still has battery life left. I highly recommend Tonewood Amp 2 for players who are looking to play with sounds and experiment with the mood of sound textures.
So far so good - love how my Taylor sounds with it. Absolutely recommended.
having an x brace in multiple guitars is awesome! Gives me way more options to play different genres.
Very impressive! Have it installed on my Johnny Cash Martin. Haven’t played any other guitars since I got this! Really brings out the creativity!
Good device, just doesn't work on my all acoustic guitars without a pickup.
Love my gen 1 tonewood. Love the Gen 2 even more!
I was a user of the first Tonewood amp, and this version is exponentially better! Incredible flexibility and variety of effects. I highly recommend this amp!!
The unit is smaller and easier ergonomically to deploy. Rechargeable battery a huge plus since the older unit chewed up batteries. The phone app makes changes easy and storable. Big thumbs up.
Easy to install, fantastic versatility, best purchase in a long long time
(Already bought another)
I Love this thing, I haved played a 12 string guitar all my life, cause anything you do sounds great. This is over the Top, Great Value for the money, I am very Happy with this one and the original one!
Love this product and all its new upgrades. The app is amazing too. So many options for tweaking and dialing in the effects. Sounds clearer and better than ever.
Love it. I bought the first one through Kickstarter and was happy to see the changes made to the new one. The only thing ive have issues with is the app. Any time i go to set my notch filters the app crashes but i imagine that they will fix this soon through an update.
Nothing to compare with the first generation. Just love it!
On the plus side, the pads snug the device securely to the back of my guitar. However, they act more like double stick tape than microsuction. They work fairly well on my satin finish D-15. But on my gloss J-45 and D-18, the pads grip so tightly that they are destroyed when I try to remove the tonewood amp in order to fit the guitar back into its case - and they leave half the pad in fragments stuck to the back of the guitar that I then have to carefully remove without damaging the nitrocellulose finish. I have had fun playing unplugged with acoustic effects. But I suspect once the novelty has worn off I’ll probably ditch the Tonewood Amp and go back to my pedalboard - in large part because of the poor performance of the pads, and fear of damaging the finish on my guitars.
