twalker Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Recordings before and after using the same conditions as close as I could replicate them. For me this seems to be the best way to test out a ToneRite. Results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I liked before better Toby - more mellow and warm. Which explains why I tend to like the J45s more than the J35s that I have tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyDitch Zhuangzi Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Just goes to show there's no accounting for taste. I preferred the post tone rite sound. Seemed sweeter to me. I'll just play my J-35 until it ripens naturally. Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which explains why I tend to like the J45s more than the J35s that I have tried. Interesting. Then let's not forget my all time favorite... the AJ. I prefer that over the J45 but still.. .they're all great guitars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Tonerite, in my opinion, does really work, BUT be forewarned......Tonerite WILL destroy strings, and I think that may have happened here, ESPECIALLY Elixirs...it WILL destroy Elixirs....I always Tonerite BEFORE I change strings.....just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I hear the same voice, only 2 hairs louder. If you needed that, well you got it. Must be pretty exciting to to take the rite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I'm not necessarily a ToneRite fan. Never used one. Only know what I've heard and read. BUT, and maybe I'm crazy, I think the "after" audio sounds more chunky and woody than the "before." To me, the "after" doesn't sound as bright. It's more of the Gibson sound I listen for. If these were two different J35s that I was trying to decide between, I'd go with the "after." On the other hand, I used to own a Rogue that I thought sounded pretty darn good...

MR GIBS Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 This is a precious info for me. Actually my ToneRite device is not at home - I gave it to my luthier months ago to tonerite some of his guitars. I tonerited many guitars - mines (SJ200, Epiphone Masterbilt, My Classical Luthier handmade, my replica of a Martin OO28 Luthier handmade, my PRS SE Custom and others) and many guitars of my friends. And I was every time pleased with the results (especially on my SJ200!). Of course I know that it kills strings and I evaluated the sound only after string change. But this exemple (and I thank yoy TWalker) shows me do NOT do it on my J35. I hear in the sample after the toneritting that the articulation improoved but the sustain faded a bit (to my ear)... I'll let my J35 to develop in time without toneritting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarrr Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Knee bones connected to the... with the TR everywhere the strings touch there is wear & tear. The PrimeVibe system takes longer but is better, with zero string chew. The variable frequency vibe is much superior to the single freak TR. amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigshot Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Sounds exactly the same to me. You just strummed slower which makes it sound more ponderous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
