Boss AD-2 Acoustic Preamp Effects Pedal

BOSS's AD-2 Acoustic Preamp effects pedal is a convenient and easy way to elicit natural and woody tones from your acoustic-electric instrument's pickup system, whether performing live or recording. Just turn the Acoustic Resonance control to your desired level, and you'll hear an increase in warmth and depth that many pickup systems often can't produce on their own. Controls for Ambiance and Notch add reverb and cut problem-feedback respectively. And the AD-2 effects pedal even boasts line- and instrument-level outputs for whatever amplification method you choose.

The BOSS AD-2 Acoustic Preamp effects pedal easily does away with the quacky tone and harsh response of many acoustic-electric pickup systems. As you turn the Acoustic Resonance control you'll hear BOSS's advanced digital processing go to work, analyzing your guitar's input signal and responding the way an un-amplified acoustic guitar would. Far from a simple pre-programmed EQ, BOSS explains that the Resonance control "adjusts multiple parameters inside the AD-2 to achieve the perfect tonal balance for any style, from delicate fingerpicking to intense strumming."

Everyone knows that controlling feedback is a must for any acoustic-electric performer. BOSS took that into careful consideration when designing the AD-2. You'll find a handy knob labeled Notch on the face of the pedal that is just as simple to use as the pedal's Resonance feature. A no nonsense, just start playing effects pedal. When feedback begins to rear its ugly head, simply turn the Notch control until it disappears. It couldn't be easier, and it couldn't be more effective.
