ToneWoodAmp Acoustic Guitar Multi-Effect Processor

The ToneWoodAmp allows you to play acoustic guitar with different effects, UNPLUGGED – with the effects emanating organically from the guitar’s sound hole and the body itself. Similar to the way the strings excite the top of the guitar to produce sound, ToneWoodAmp excites the back of the instrument, producing sound waves of effects such as reverb, echo, delay, tremolo and more, which interact with the natural sound of the guitar itself. The ToneWoodAmp is also a multi-effect processor which you can connect with any Amp/PA system and is also an iDevice interface allowing you to experiment with audio and MIDI apps. Amazing Amp-less Acoustic Experience The ToneWoodAmp uses a clever combination of powerful DSP (digital signal processor) and surface exciter. Attached to the back of your acoustic guitar, the device vibrates the back of your instrument, producing sound effects such as reverb, echo, delay, tremolo and more, which interact with the natural sound of your guitar. The result is a unique soundscape coming from within the body of the guitar itself, while still maintaining the guitar’s natural beauty, original tone, and untethered portability. Doubles As a Multi-Effect Processor The ToneWoodAmp can be used also as a multi-effect processor. In a situation where you need to amplify your guitar, you can connect the output jack to your amp or P.A. system and use the “blend” mode to dial the amount of guitar/effect you want to send out. Triples as an iDevice interface Want More Effects and Tools to Experiment With? Connect the ToneWoodAmp to Your iDevice and Use Any Guitar Effect and Virtual MIDI Apps! In addition to the ToneWoodAmp’s internal DSP, the device can also connect with all iDevices, so you can use your iPhone, iPad etc. to experiment with an unlimited number of effects, and even play Virtual MIDI instruments from within the body of your guitar itself. Initial Install Takes only 5 Minutes The initial installation and setup of the ToneWoodAmp is fast and easy, it requires no tools, and has no permanent impact on your guitar. After the initial install, detaching and attaching the ToneWoodAmp to your guitar is a snap.
