It&#8217;s perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of music-making and performing. The spark of creativity can be elusive and ephemeral, so when you find the flair that ignites your next song, it can feel like everything is falling into place. Introducing the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Acoustic_Guitars\/Hartwood?page=1&amp;filters[835]=18632\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hartwood Sonata FX range<\/a><\/strong>, a selection of stylish instruments that hold an ingenious secret up their sleeve&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>That secret is none other than a series of fully on-board, no-amp-required effects. These include chorus, delay, and reverb. That&#8217;s right, you can enhance your acoustic sound with a combination of effects to add a totally new dimension to your playing &#8211; no pedals or amps required. Add that to a striking set of visuals and an excellent playing action, and you&#8217;ve found your new tool of tone.<\/p>\n<p>All you have to do is pick it up, switch on the preamp, and get to exploring vibrant new soundscapes that will fuel your imagination.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;72b2aac8-2a26-4106-af58-67527d130293&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Spice up your acoustic sound&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spice_up_your_acoustic_sound\"><\/span>Spice up your acoustic sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So, how does that work? Well, there&#8217;s a small speaker that&#8217;s mounted in the body cavity that enhances your natural tone with the applied effects. Whenever the preamp is switched on, you\u2019ll get a natural imbued effect sound that lifts your acoustic tone to new dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>This is a game-changer. Performing at open mic nights and busking on the streets just got much more interesting with this added flexibility. But it\u2019s not just for the big stage &#8211; even casual players will love the extended sonic possibilities. If you keep a guitar by the sofa for the occasional songwriting noodle, the Sonata FX will give you so much more depth to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Say goodbye to lugging around effects pedals or amps, as these built-in effects can give your performance the flair it needs to stand out without any added extras.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that every model of the Sonata FX range comes equipped with the same suite of effects. So, no matter which style you prefer, you&#8217;ll enjoy the same delicious array of spiced-up sonics. Those include reverb, delay, and chorus. Reverb can be used simultaneously with delay or chorus, so you can really delve into a new palette of tones without ever having to plug in.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11401 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760-1024x481.png\" alt=\"Sonata FX Controls\" width=\"1024\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760-1024x481.png 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760-600x282.png 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760-768x361.png 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760-1536x722.png 1536w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760-1080x508.png 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760-1280x602.png 1280w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760-980x461.png 980w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760-480x226.png 480w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"But_what_about_plugged_in\"><\/span>But what about plugged in?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>That&#8217;s where it gets even better.

A gorgeous leaf inlay pattern runs the length of the fingerboard, supplemented by flamed back and sides for an instrument that&#8217;s a feast for the eyes.<\/p>\n<p>And it isn&#8217;t all just about form, as the striking body contour with integrated sound holes serves an extra purpose.

It's perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of music-making and performing. The spark of creativity can be elusive and ephemeral, so when you find the flair that ignites your next song, it can feel like everything is falling into place. Introducing the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Acoustic_Guitars\/Hartwood?page=1&filters[835]=18632\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hartwood Sonata FX range<\/a><\/strong>, a selection of stylish instruments that hold an ingenious secret up their sleeve...<\/p><p>That secret is none other than a series of fully on-board, no-amp-required effects. These include chorus, delay and reverb. That's right, you can enhance your acoustic sound with a combination of effects to add a totally new dimension to your playing - no pedals or amps required. Add that to a striking set of visuals and an excellent playing action, and you've found your new tool of tone.<\/p><p>All you have to do is pick it up, switch on the preamp, and get to exploring vibrant new soundscapes that will fuel your imagination.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Spice up your acoustic sound<\/h3><p>So, how does that work? Well, there's a small speaker that's mounted in the body cavity that enhances your natural tone with the applied effects. Whenever the preamp is switched on, you\u2019ll get a natural imbued effect sound that lifts your acoustic tone to new dimensions.<\/p><p>This is a game-changer. Performing at open mic nights and busking on the streets just got much more interesting with this added flexibility. But it\u2019s not just for the big stage - even casual players will love the extended sonic possibilities. If you keep a guitar by the sofa for the occasional songwriting noodle, the Sonata FX will give you so much more depth to explore.<\/p><p>Say goodbye to lugging around effects pedals or amps, as these built-in effects can give your performance the flair it needs to stand out without any added extras.<\/p><p>The good news is that every model of the Sonata FX range comes equipped with the same suite of effects. So, no matter which style you prefer, you'll enjoy the same delicious array of spiced-up sonics. Those include reverb, delay, and chorus. Reverb can be used simultaneously with delay or chorus, so you can really delve into a new palette of tones without ever having to plug in.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11401 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Controls-e1657019440760-1024x481.png\" alt=\"Sonata FX Controls\" width=\"1024\" height=\"481\" \/><\/p><h4>But what about plugged in?<\/h4><p>That's where it gets even better. Not only can you enjoy the natural, dry acoustic tone <em>and<\/em> effects without any additional equipment, but you can also utilise those effects when connected to an amplifier. Additionally, the bass and treble EQ controls become active, so you shape your sound to taste.<\/p><p>This is just performing bliss for both experienced guitarists and those just starting out. Veteran players will appreciate not having to lug pedals and other gear with them to gigs, and beginners will love the expanded possibilities the FX offers, without having to purchase extra gear.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Sonata Lineup<\/h3><p>We've mentioned that the Sonata FX comes as a series of guitars, so what are they? In short, there are three models to choose from: Thinline, Concert, and Jumbo. Going from left to right, that's thinnest, medium, and thickest, for anyone not used to acoustic terminology.<\/p><p>Here we'll give a short overview of each model and who they might suit. to make things simple, it's really only the thickness that varies.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4>Thinline<\/h4><p><img class=\"wp-image-11406 size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Thinline-517x300.png\" alt=\"Sonata FX Thinline\" width=\"517\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p><p>As the name suggests, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/Hartwood-Sonata-FX-Thinline-Electro-Acoustic-Guitar-Sunburst\/3JI6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thinline<\/a><\/strong> is the thinnest model in the series. It's also perhaps the most visually striking, as the usual sound hole has been shifted to the upper bout for a truly unique appearance.<\/p><p>Electric guitar players and people who find larger bodies unwieldy will love this slimmed-down size.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4>Concert<\/h4><p>Perhaps the most popular acoustic size out there, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/Hartwood-Sonata-FX-Concert-Electro-Acoustic-Guitar-Natural\/3JIB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Concert Sonata FX<\/a><\/strong> is a comfortable, all-rounder shape. It offers the balanced and versatile tonal range that a larger acoustic body affords you, while not being too large. People searching for the classic steel-string acoustic shape will enjoy the Concert.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11404 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Lifestyle-1-1024x474.png\" alt=\"Sonata FX Lifestyle 1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"474\" \/><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4>Jumbo<\/h4><p><img class=\"wp-image-11407 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Jumbo-600x281.png\" alt=\"Sonata FX Jumbo\" width=\"600\" height=\"281\" \/><\/p><p>As you might expect, this mighty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/Hartwood-Sonata-FX-Jumbo-Electro-Acoustic-Guitar-Black\/3JI7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Jumbo<\/strong><\/a> model is the thickest in the range. This larger cavity gives a pleasant boost to the bass response, lending chords and notes extra presence and depth.<\/p><p>Not only that, but you'll also get enhanced volume and projection because of the extra reverberation space, so truly acoustic performers will appreciate the enhanced voice of the Jumbo.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><hr \/><h3>An individual style<\/h3><p>It's one thing to have an array of onboard, exciting effects. But the Hartwood Sonata FX takes it a step further with a captivating aesthetic. A gorgeous leaf inlay pattern runs the length of the fingerboard, supplemented by a flamed back and sides for an instrument that's a feast for the eyes.<\/p><p>But it isn't all just about form, as the striking body contour with integrated sound holes serves an extra purpose. The upwards angle allows you to keep a close ear on the sound you're outputting. This is invaluable for performing, as you can perfectly dial in your effects, or check that you're sound is in tune. It's the acoustic equivalent of in-ear monitors!<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11408 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/06\/Sonata-FX-Inlays-Close-1024x472.png\" alt=\"Sonata FX Inlays Close\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" \/><\/p><hr \/><h3>What about the acoustic sound by itself?<\/h3><p>A fair question, we've bigged up the onboard preamp so far.
