Tone Traveler: Does it really work?
Have you heard about the Tone Traveler? Maybe you wanted to know what it did?
Today I'm testing it on my Collings D2HA to see what all the hype is about. Stick around to see the test!

I reviewed one of these and really believe it has helped every instrument I used it on!

It works for 45minutes. Put your guitar back and the next day guitar back to were it was. Martin said it in the MaurysMusic podcast. Thank me later.

I don't have one but this is what I did 23 yrs ago. I bought a brand new Larrivee D10 never been played. When I got it I was greatly disappointed and called the dealer wanting to send it back and he ok'd me to do so. I remembered hearing about the stereo thing. So I put the D10 in a stand and put one speaker in front and one behind up close. I turned the music up loud and left it for about a day. When I got back and played the guitar and it greatly opened up to my suprise. I kept the D10 for 23 yrs until I just traded it for a Bourgeois Touchstone Signature D.

What a great story! I have yet to play the Touchstone series, but I have heard great things about them. Wonder how it would sound after one of these?
Just bought one and have it running on my Breedlove. Thanks for a great review, noticeable difference for sure!

How is the Tone Traveler working out for you, Eric?

@@rosewoodsteel6656 I originally ran it on the Breedlove Premier Concert (Rosewood with European Spruce top) for a week. Noticeable difference especially in sustain being longer. A bit more low end. My wife a non-player said it sounded "ringier." I put it on for another week, and although not as dramatic, still noticeable improvement in sustain and volume. I currently have my Taylor GS Mini Mahogany hooked up to the machine, so will see. I figure being laminate sides and back and with only the top being solid it may not be as much difference but will see. Also Mahogany is denser so might take longer to see improvement, not sure. All in all: No, it's not going to make your instrument in to a new one, but a definite improvement on what was already a high end guitar, and worth the investment for me.
It sounds louder and more crisp on the after.

Just got one for my blueridge 160 and I’m running it for the first time overnight.

You won't be sorry. I had to fight the urge to want to check on it all the time. But it was worth the patience.
man - what I noticed in both clips was that I wish I hadn't sold that guitar

I can understand. If I ever let this one go, I know I'll feel the same.
Your Colling's sounded brighter in the "after" sound clips. Perhaps leaving the guitar out for a week changed the humidity level of the wood? By the way, the D2HA sounds great! I was really leaning towards getting one, but it was a little out of my reach. I ended up buying a Boucher SG-51 M, which is an OM made by a small luthier in Québec. I'm very impressed and pleased with it.

It is certainly possible. It would have been during the colder winter months so I'm sure it could play a part. I have played a couple of those at the Acoustic Shoppe in Springfield, MO. Great guitars!
Thanks, nice review! Looking forward to trying this on my new-ish OM-18 Gruhn spec. For your week-long test, did you set it up to play standard tuning on all six the whole time? Or a specific chord? Other?

I just did the standard tuning the whole time for my test. I'd love to try individual/paired strings or chords as well!

They used better wood back then

Yeah, I've played a couple newer ones that didn't do it for me.
