"Nice assortment of reverbs, and effects. Can be miked directly as well as utilized with a direct out. My only criticism is that it burns through batteries very quickly - even long life alkaline or NMH or Lithium ones. I would hope that the manufacturer gives some thought to addressing this and creating a more efficient system. Review update: Nicholas from Tonewood read my review and was kind enough to send me an email in which he suggested Tenavolt brand rechargeable AA batteries. He stated that those batteries can last as long as 12 hours on a charge. I pass this suggestion along as that would make a lot of difference. I was also impressed that someone from the company read my review and actually contacted me with a helpful suggestion. Job well done!"

"The device works great. Cant believe the sound it puts out. And lots of capability to adjust each effect. I would have given it 5 stars but the instructions are horrible. I actually returned the first one i had cause i couldnt get it to work. Then almost returned the second one till they instructed me to plug the cord into the input jack not output."

"I've been playing acoustic and electric for over 30 years in just about any live or studio setting & context I can think of.

Cons:
-You can definitely tell the behavior changes as the battery gradually wears down, mostly in the TouchWah setting. (You have to retweak to get that sweet spot as the battery wears down on TouchWah. )Reverb settings still work well as the battery gets closer to death.
-Installing the X-Brace is hard for guys with big hands and arms. It's doable, just will have to be methodical installing it.
-It did not come with a manual, and the one online at twamps.com is very outdated. They should include a printed one.
-It does clip quite easily if your guitar vibrates a lot. Most guitars with a matte finish or have been played for many years and are broken-in may experience more clipping. (That's treatable with lower volume and gain settings though)

Note: No, this probably isn't loud enough for real busking. It's barely loud enough if other people in the room are talking loudly. Also there is a master gain setting. Figure that out and set the master gain in your patches early on to save you a lot of frustration. Battery life from regular alkalines (3x AA) has been between 4-5 hours.

Pros: An AMAZING creative tool. I love it. I have been waiting years to own one and it's fantastic. I have been able to get lost playing for hours. I have also tried it through my acoustic amp and WOW this thing sounds absolutely huge. It's inspiring. The magnets work very well. I have been attaching/detaching it about twice a day for 2 weeks and it hasn't been an issue so far. The guitar's finish seems to be fine. I will definitely be performing with it in the near future, doing lots of solo gigs and incorporating it with my regular band gigs occasionally. It's one of the few guitar toys out there that does not get boring. The forte's are definitely in the reverbs, but they have done their best to make other settings useful. You will not get "Where The Streets Have No Name" delay without an external amp, but the delay setting is still very useful and musical. The Leslie setting is really good, but again, requires a little tweaking here and there to maximize the effect as the battery starts to wear down. Still, that setting is musical, fun, and is a pleasant break from the other sounds. The Overdrive isn't worth even mentioning. The TouchWah setting is a blast and you can get a phenomenal attack and quack out of it.

Final thoughts: It clips a little easily, and that's tough when using wood as an amplifier so we can't discredit ToneWood too much here. Also I ordered some good rechargeables, and hopefully they stay in the "above 4 volts" zone a little longer and more consistently before fading out. If this were stolen, I would absolutely get a replacement ordered up right away and would probably be having fits until it arrived, it's that good. I'm so glad someone was smart enough to come up with this because I can have a full multi-hour practice and creative session without ever leaving my couch. Also, all my friends and family are blown away by how cool this thing is! No regrets on the purchase."
