"Great effect...Don't ask it to BE and acoustic guitar!!!"

Feature:
enough settings to get a good sound from any electric. the enhance and piezo settings brighten up the treble from a muddy jazzbox humbucker. Or use the Jumbo setting fill out the bass from a strat or Tele's overbright single coils.

Quality:
I own 5 Boss pedals and they all have the same time tested design. no bad switches or broken wires, just reliable.

Value:
A bit expensive for a single stomp box but buy one , you'll love it so much , you'd pay double to get it back!

Desirability:
There is NO Sex Appeal in a little stomp box!

Sound:
Before you think I'm crazy , let me state for the record , that this pedal does NOT replace your need for a true acoustic guitar! What it Does do is instantly give you a great simulation of and acoustic guitar from the electric guitar you have in your hands!

Support:
never needed it

Overall:
There are better sounding simulators out there but they are designed to be used in studios and cost hundreds more.(great for recording) But they don't fit under your foot!

About This Product!
Description
Multimedia
The Boss AC2 Acoustic Simulator is a compact effects pedal designed to accurately simulate the sounds of an acoustic guitar from a standard electric. With 4 distinct acoustic guitar modes, the AC2 gives electric guitarists the freedom to instantly "go unplugged" with the stomp of a foot pedal

Features
Delivers amazing acoustic guitar simulation using a standard electric guitar.

4 acoustic "modes" give guitarists distinct acoustic sounds.

"Standard" produces a conventional acoustic guitar sound.

"Jumbo" delivers the sound of an acoustic with a larger, more resonant body.

"Enhance" gives guitarists a brilliant, ultra-present sound to cut through in live band settings.

"Piezo" produces the bright sound of a piezo pickup.

"Top" knob adjust the effect's overall brilliance and harmonics.

"Body" adjusts the resonance of the simulated acoustic guitar body.

Level knob adjusts the overall level of the acoustic effect.

Individual outputs for effected and un-effected sound allow for the use of separate signal chains and amplifiers.

Why Change Guitars When You can Simply Add the Boss AC-2 to Your Rig
A 4-mode dial selects

Standard: conventional acoustic guitar sound

Jumbo: sound of larger body acoustic guitar

Enhance: a brilliant sound that is never buried "in the mix," even while playing in a live band situation

Piezo: piezo pickup sound for a more compressed acoustic guitar sound

Individual Outputs
The AC2 has 2 individual outputs, one for the effected acoustic guitar sound, and another for the direct, unaffected electric guitar source. You can switch between outputs at the touch of a pedal and connect outputs separately to other effects units or amplifiers, for total sonic control and flexibility.
