zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Get that full-bodied acoustic sound without having to switch guitars. This pedal delivers simulated standard, large, piezo and bright acoustic tones.

Having to switch out your trusty electric for an acoustic guitar in the middle of a set puts a real drag on your show's momentum. That's why Behringer created the Acoustic Modeler AM400, the pedal that transforms your favorite electric axe into a rich, full-bodied acoustic faster than you can say--the times, they are a-changin'.

Features
Achieve realistic acoustic guitar modeling using any electric guitar

Real Sound Modeling (RSM) combines state-of-the-art DSP technology with sophisticated algorithms to emulate real acoustic environments

4 authentic acoustic simulations: standard, large, piezo and bright with built-in reverb, optimized for acoustic-guitar simulation

2 individual outputs enable easy switching between electric and acoustic guitar sounds when using 2 separate amps

Blue status LED for effect on/off and battery check

Runs on 9 V battery or the Behringer PSU-SB DC power supply (not included)

First-class electronic On/Off switch for highest signal integrity in bypass mode

High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life

Conceived and designed by Behringer Germany

Step on the AM400 and you get your choice of four different acoustic models: standard, large, piezo and bright. AM400's secret weapon is Behringer Real Sound Modeling (RSM) technology, which allows this pedal to accurately simulate environmental acoustics. Just select one of the four models and use the dedicated Resonance, Level, and Attack controls to dial in your ultimate read more acoustic guitar tone. The AM400 even has its own onboard Reverb, custom-tailored to add the perfect finishing touch to your acoustic sounds.

When the acoustic mode is selected, the electric guitar signal is muted, allowing you to send your acoustic sound to the PA or to an onstage amp. Need to rock? Your electric (both the guitar and the amp) is just a toe-tap away. A status LED lets you know when the AM400 is activated, and you can power it with either a 9 V battery or a PSU-SB DC power supply (not included). A top-quality on/off switch maintains excellent signal integrity in bypass mode.

Your ticket to acoustic guitar paradise--the Behringer Acoustic Modeler AM400.

The Behringer pedals kind of have a reputation for being the walmart/kmart brand. But this pedal does an amazing job. I previously owned the Boss Acoustic simulator but I was not happy with it so I returned. I took a chance and bought the Behringer accoustic simulator and it works great. You do have to play with the settings to get the desired sound. And I strongly recommend using a single coil pickup. My humbuckers sound ok, but a single coil really works. Actually I have an Epiphone ES339 that allows you to turn the humbucker into a single coil. I am really happy with this purchase. There is a very slight hiss when you strum, so I just turn on my noise gate. I have no problem using this pedal on a gig even without the noisegate. Behringer did a great job on this accoustic simulator. And just for reference I'm playing thru a Marshall Haze 40 tube amp. I have not tried it thru a solid state amp yet.
