Boss AD-2 Acoustic Preamp Guitar Pedal

Boss AD-2 Acoustic Preamp Guitar Pedal

The Boss AD-2 Acoustic Preamp Guitar Pedal is an advanced sound processor for performing live with electro-acoustic guitars. Equipped with powerful Boss technology, the AD-2 Preamp features an acoustic resonance effect that recreates the tone of an unplugged acoustic guitar. In addition, this powerful pedal also includes features such as a notch filter to eliminate feedback, and a balanced DI.

With two independent outputs, the AD-2 offers flexibility and allows the user to connect to an amp and a PA mixer. As well as providing the perfect tone, this high-quality unit also comes in a familiar housing that will sit well on any pedalboard. Robust and compact, it’s built using industry standard Boss engineering to ensure a long-lasting performance.

AD-2

The Boss AD-2 Acoustic Preamp is designed to capture the true sound of an unplugged acoustic guitar, by simply relying on the standard undersaddle piezo pickups. Boss have now designed a compact solution to this common problem, and have created an acoustic resonance effect, that recreates the complex tonal characteristics of an unplugged acoustic, giving you a natural tone that sits well in any mix. This innovative system works by analysing the input signal in real time and uses advantaged processing to recreate the guitar’s true tone.

Acoustic resonance control

The Boss AD-2 Acoustic Preamp is the perfect live tool for achieving a great sound easily and quickly, as simply twisting the one-knob control adjusts multiple parameters at once – allowing you to get the perfect tonal balance for any style.

Ambience effect

Using the ambience effect, players can dial in a high-quality reverb optimised for any acoustic guitar performance. Unlike other reverb pedals, the AD-2 is capable of producing a deep ambience that perfectly complements the instrument’s voice. By turning this dial, you can achieve a wide range of superb reverb sounds.

Additional features

The Boss AD-2 is also fully equipped with two independent outputs for performance flexibility. The easily located output jack is ideal for connecting to an acoustic guitar amp or stage monitor, as well as the Line Out connection for sending a balanced signal direct to a PA mixer. If that’s not enough, the versatile unit also offers low-frequency feedback reduction with an easy-to-use notch filter, and the ability to use the footswitch to mute the sound for switching guitars and tuning on stage.

Compact structure

Like with many pedals from Boss, the AD-2 offers a familiar compact chassis, along with a durable footswitch for easy access. Its compact structure makes it the perfect addition to any pedalboard.
