for BOSS AC-3 Sound Demo
How many times have you been onstage or in the studio with your electric guitar, and wished
that you’d brought an acoustic along? For musicians who travel light, hauling an extra guitar to
the gig isn’t always the most attractive option. BOSS AC-3 to the rescue! This new-generation
compact pedal employs COSM® modeling technology to transform any electric guitar into a variety
of beautiful acoustic guitars.
- BOSS’s most advanced acoustic-guitar modeling in a compact pedal
- Four simulation modes: Standard, Jumbo, Enhanced, and Piezo-equipped
- Top and Body knobs for fine-tuning the virtual-body resonance
- Built-in reverb, optimized for acoustic-guitar simulation
Advanced Modeling
BOSS’s COSM Acoustic-Modeling technology is beautifully showcased in this small but powerful
pedal, which simulates an acoustic guitar much more precisely and realistically than previous
technology allowed. Derived from BOSS top-of-the-line AD-8, the AC-3 simulates the sound of an
acoustic guitar with incredible precision. Four simulation modes are provided: Standard, Jumbo,
Enhanced, and Piezo-equipped; the latter supplies that famous “cut through the mix” direct piezo
sound. Previous compact acoustic-guitar modeling-pedals were promising, but now the bar has been
raised with AC-3.
Fine Control
Top and Body controls are provided, which allow you to shape the characteristics of the four
acoustic models. Create the perfect acoustic-guitar sound quickly and easily with simple knob
twists.
Reverb Included
Add depth and sweetness to the sound with the AC-3’s built in digital reverb. It’s like
getting two pedals in one!
Versatile Output Paths
Two sets of outputs are provided, allowing you to connect the AC-3 to a standard guitar amp
and to a direct input device such as a PA, or a recorder.
