Tonewood Amp on Rainsong P-12
My wife got me a Tonewood amp for Christmas and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it the last couple of days. I picked my Rainsong P-12 as the first guitar to try it on since it’s my couch and travel guitar. I also wanted to see if the effects would bring out the P-12 to make it sound like a bigger, fuller bodied guitar. Nealry all Parlors seem to tend toward a touch of boxy sounding especially if you do some vigorous strumming.
For setup, I was hoping to only have to adjust the input level or gain levels and not have to use the notch filters which seemed kind of complicated. My P-12 has an onboard Fishman UST system with EQ and I started with the Tonewood at its default master gain at 50% and the guitar’s volume at 0. I then slowly raised the guitar volume but every time I got feedback. So I took the opposite approach and set the guitar volume at 50% and put the master gain on the Tonewood down to 5%. And that worked great. I get a good volume level and all the effects work great with no hint of feedback. And the effect is what I thought it would be. In addition to adding richness and lushness to the tone, it seems to make this smaller bodied guitar bloom into sounding like a GC or GA sized guitar. No issues installing the X-brace since this carbon guitar has no internal braces and I think the concept of the amp is a good match with carbon fiber construction. Happy so far and looking forward to exploring more what the Tonewood amp can do.

I use my Fishman Loudbox Performer as my mixing board /Monitor for vocals and Instruments the DI out to one or two EV ZLX12Ps and sometimes fight a squeal. I wonder if turning down my Fishman and upping the EV's would solve my issue? My Fishman Artist being used as a Monitor needs to be up in volume as any Monitor would be. Hmmmmm? Nice that you got the Tonewood in line so quickly.
