Comment: Reviews are not something that is usually within a Wikipedia article, especially since a large chunk of the article is just the "reviews" section. SirMemeGod 13:33, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Declined due to the focus of the article going on the positive reviews, instead of the product itself, which is only mentioned in the lead for some reason. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:39, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Reviews
[edit]The ToneWoodAmp is not only innovative and useful, but it's also incredibly cool and affordable, and it may even change the way acoustic players perform and record.
— Chris Gill, "Review: ToneWoodAmp Multi-Effects Processor for Acoustic Guitars", Guitar World (November 4, 2016) [5]
The ToneWoodAmp is an affordable, cutting-edge product that serves the traditional needs of the performing guitarist. It belongs in every guitarist’s toolbox.
— Nathan Bell, "Gear Review: The Truly Acoustic, Acoustic Guitar ToneWoodAmp", Acoustic Guitar (August 16, 2016)[6]
The ToneWoodAmp is a fantastic creative tool for use at home... or anywhere else. Your can get sounds fast that wouldn't be possible without finding your guitar lead and booting up a computer or an amp with effects.
— Staff, "ToneWoodAmp review", MusicRadar (November 13, 2019) [7]
I honestly can't imagine living without this little guy. I won't say it turned my Yamaha into something magical ... well, actually, I will say that. If a $300 investment can make a $5 yard sale axe sound like a Martin X-Series (an approximately $600-$1,000 outlay for a stupendous instrument), you owe it to yourself to spend the dough.

Criticism and feedback
[edit]Nathan Bell of Acoustic Guitar magazine reports that the x brace component (magnet component for inside of the guitar) should be augmented with additional tape or adhesive, and that expermenting with optimal positioning of the x brace may lead to better performance. He also notes that the iOS cable for the unit to connect to Apple devices is sold separately.[6]
Nick Ryan Piescor of American Songwriter magazine notes that the instructions for installing the Tonewoodamp are extensive and it took some time to calibrate the device to the guitar and find the optimal position for the x brace component. He also reports that the amp would occasionally cut out, this problem was resolved by using the recommended AA batteries.[9]
A product rating and customer feedback web component exists on the Tonewoodamp website, as of October 8th, 2024, 96% of the product rating received 5 stars, 4% received four stars. Six of the eight hundred seventy-four reviews are 3 star, or 2 star reviews. Of these, complaints about batteries and x brace mounting failure prevail. There are no 1 star ratings. One reviewer states that the Tonewoodamp makes a cheap guitar sound better, but doesn't improve the sound quality of their expensive guitar.[10]
