The BOSS is pleased to offer another Authentic BOSS Compact Pedal, the BOSS AC-3 Acoustic Simulator Pedal. 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.
Advanced Modeling
The 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’s 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
The Top and Body controls are provided for shaping 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 for connecting the AC-3 to a standard guitar amp and to a direct input device such as a PA recorder.
