Product Review Really digging this thing. I do not play acoustic so this has really been a super tool for me lately in changing my tone and experimenting with some new ideas. Even just clicking it on and playing some chill campfire tunes is a good time for me.

Product Review I’ve been dying for an acoustic sound, without needing an acoustic/electric, or having to do a guitar swap on stage. THIS, Is the ticket!!! So many sounds and flavors!!!

It is the closest to an accoustic guitar, only thing closer would be an actual accoustic.

Product Review I really like the tone, only thing closer would be an actual acoustic guitar. It can also be used to brighten and clear up the sound of an electric when playing clean. With the controls, an unlimited tonal palette is at your finger tips. I like the line out feature, you can run this to the FOH board or like I do to an acoustic amp. That means you can go from searing gain to pristine acoustic sound with a stomp on the switch. If your on the fence, go ahead and pick this one up, you won't regret it.

Product Review I bought this for some gigs that the band was doing. It makes song changes from electric to acoustic much faster and I don’t have to bring another guitar. Sounds pretty good too.

Product Review Have read many reviews both positive and negative about this pedal. The negatives were not specific but didn't hear their guitar and amp give an acoustic sound with this pedal. The positives were sometimes vague but they liked it. Then some went on to say they liked it not through a tube amp but through an acoustic amp or a PA system. I HOOKED IT up through a very small practice amp set clean and used the emulation out into a mixer then into a low power full range PA type system. Sounded excellent with neck single coil. Didn't try it with the middle single coil nor the bridge humbucker. I am very happy to have this pedal.

Product Review If think this is going to make your Les Paul sound like your Martin, think again. However it does soften the tone and give an audio illusion of acoustic sound. It’s fairly simple to use and control. Pretty much the same kind of set up as any Boss pedal.

A surprising twist from intended use

Product Review I purchased this to attempt to get my Gibson Firebird to sound more acoustic for some songs, and it is OK, and works as intended. Not a perfect acoustic sound, but passable. However, out of curiosity I tried it with my Martin acoustic through a Bose Compact and in a word "WOW". It gave a new life, fullness and richness to my treasured Martin that I never heard before! The sound of the Bose compact is very dry, and I played hundreds of gigs with just my Martin and the Bose, but holy crap, this really gave it an incredible sound. Electrics will never sound truly acoustic, (passable for a song or two during a gig) but when used with an acoustic for acoustic gigs, phenomenal. Now using it with my acoustics, and keeping the electrics as they were intended. Thrilled with the new sound on my Martin. Outstanding!
