Bring Your Acoustic’s Natural Sound to the Stage
An acoustic guitar's tone emerges from the intricate interplay of its body, top, strings, and other components. As you play with different techniques and dynamics, this interaction evolves, producing the rich, resonant sound we cherish. Unfortunately, standard undersaddle piezo pickups on many stage guitars often fail to capture this complexity. The AD-2’s Acoustic Resonance effect addresses this by analyzing your guitar’s signal in real time and using advanced processing to faithfully reproduce its evolving tone. With just one knob, you can adjust multiple parameters within the Boss AD-2 to fine-tune the tonal balance, whether you're fingerpicking gently or strumming vigorously.
Enhance Your Guitar with Professional-Quality Reverb
Once Acoustic Resonance has restored your guitar’s natural tone, adding a touch of reverb can enhance its depth and dimension. The AD-2’s Ambience effect provides studio-quality reverb suitable for any performance setting. Unlike typical reverbs that might muddy an acoustic guitar’s sound, the BOSS algorithms in the AD-2 deliver rich, immersive ambience that complements your instrument’s voice perfectly. The intuitive one-knob control allows you to adjust numerous parameters effortlessly, giving you a wide range of detailed reverb effects.
DI Output and Feedback Control
The AD-2 offers two independent outputs for versatile performance options. Connect the Output jack to your acoustic guitar amp or stage monitor, while the Line Out sends a balanced signal directly to the PA mixer. You can even disable the Ambience effect on the Line Out signal, allowing the PA engineer to add their own reverb if desired. For managing low-frequency feedback on stage, the AD-2’s notch filter is a simple solution. Just adjust the Notch knob when you notice feedback, and it will quickly disappear. It’s that straightforward!
