BOSS AC-3 Acoustic Simulator Pedal
Turn your electric guitar into an acoustic-inspired voice with the BOSS AC-3 Acoustic Simulator. Using BOSS's advanced COSM modeling technology, the AC-3 recreates the character and response of several acoustic guitar types without requiring you to change instruments during a performance.
Four acoustic modes—Standard, Jumbo, Enhanced, and Piezo—provide different tonal personalities, while the BODY, TOP, LEVEL, and MODE controls let you refine the simulated acoustic character to fit your guitar and playing style.
The AC-3 is especially useful for live performers who need acoustic sounds without carrying an additional guitar. It can also add an entirely different tonal color to songwriting, recording, and creative pedalboard setups.
