Anyone have experience with trans acoustics and tonewood amps?
I have a Yamaha trans acoustic and I enjoy turning on the actuator for certain songs. So much that I’d like to have this option on my other guitars as well. So I’m considering a tonewood amp. Can anyone tell me if you get more volume from the tonewood amp than the trans acoustics? Or is it basically the same concept?

I have a Transacoustic, but I've never played with a Tonewood Amp. Here is a video from justinguitar.com that suggests you get pretty good volume.
If you're interested in those effects, you might also take a look at the Lag Hyvibe. In addition to the system in the Lag guitars, they are supposedly going to be offering systems that can be installed in any acoustic. |

I have a tone wood amp
I set mine so that the tonewood just "adds" the ambience of the effect, (Reverb, delay) If you push it too much, it gets hard to control |

cool
there's a few tricks to getting it right,.. you can PM me if you think you have questions I can help with. I have x braces in 4 different acoustics, and it behaves a bit differently in each one, as they all have slightly different pickups. it is pretty awesome once you dial it in.. Take your time, don't give up on it.. |

Do you use rechargable batteries in yours? I have one but don't like the weight it adds to the guitar but the sounds are really fun. I just need to become a better player to truly enjoy it
I like it better with picking than with strumming... But I don't know much about studio effects

Like most people, the only settings that you'll probably find the most use full are the reverbs and the delay settings. just as an fyi.. When installing the x-brace in the gutiar, there are a few tips that Tonewood will provide, based on the body style you have. Those are pretty close usually The trick is to see where that sound activator will wind up on the back of your guitar. Do definitely try the test fittings before securing the x brace so you know. a roll of blue low tack painters tape is fine to use to attache the amp to the guitar for testing where the brace should go. You want to make sure that that little cup where the activator is, doesn't wind up on a cross brace. The magnet fitting has quite a bit of wiggle room, and once it's attached, it won't fall off. The double sided tape with which you secure the x brace inside the guitar is pretty fail proof, at least for me so far. I love mine, and when I've played guitar with the amp attached, it really does raise eye brows. "Wait,, how are you getting that sound???" A few guys ordered theirs like the day after they heard it in person. You'll probably really like it. |
