Compressor, sustain & noise gate effect pedal
How many times have you regretted not taking an acoustic guitar on stage or in the studio? If you like to travel light, an extra guitar can be a pain. Take the BOSS AC-3 pedal instead! This new pedal uses COSM® modeling technology to transform your electric guitar into a fabulous acoustic guitar.
State-of-the-art acoustic modeling in a compact BOSS pedal
Four simulation modes: Standard, Jumbo, Enhanced and Piezo
Top" and "Body" controls refine the resonance of the virtual guitar body.
Built-in reverb effect optimized for acoustic guitar simulation.
Magic pedal stroke
BOSS's COSM acoustic modeling technology is superbly exploited by this powerful little pedal to simulate a strikingly realistic acoustic guitar. Derived from the BOSS AD-8 series head, the AC-3 reproduces the sound of an acoustic guitar with incredible precision. Choose from four simulation modes: Standard, Jumbo, Enhanced and Piezo; the latter simulates that famous direct piezo pickup sound. The promises made by previous acoustic guitar modeling pedals are finally fulfilled by the AC-3!
Refined modeling
The "Top" and "Body" controls let you fine-tune the characteristics of all four acoustic models. Just a few turns of the knobs and you'll have the acoustic guitar you've been dreaming of.
Integrated reverb
Add depth and smoothness to your sound with the AC-3's digital reverb (you'll find you have two pedals in one!).
Flexible output
You have two types of output: one lets you connect the AC-3 to a standard guitar amp, and the other to a direct input on a PA, recorder or acoustic amp like the Roland AC-60.
