Introduction

Acoustic remodeling that restores body tone
The 16 source and 15 target guitar type presets simulate the sonic characteristics of a
variety of acoustic guitars with different body shapes and material properties. By choos-
ing a source guitar and a target guitar according to the guitar you are using, you can
share the original rich and beautiful tones of acoustic guitars with audiences during live
performances.
High-quality preamp that can be used with many pickups
The preamp was designed especially for acoustic guitars and can be used with input
from piezoelectric, magnetic and passive pickups. This preamp designed for acoustic gui-
tars provides excellent fundamental performance, including a 3-band EQ and super-low
noise design boasting a 120 dB signal-to-noise ratio and a −100 dBu noise floor.
9 effects for acoustic guitars
The nine types of effects, including choruses, delays and reverbs that make acoustic gui-
tar sounds even more beautiful, have parameters that can be precisely adjusted.
Anti-feedback function with minimal effect on tone quality
The anti-feedback function can quickly and effectively eliminate feedback during a per-
formance.
Clean boost of up to 9 dB
The boost function can reduce the volume differences of fingerpicking, strumming
chords and other guitar playing techniques, as well as increase amplification during so-
los.
Compressor that is easy to operate
Just turn the compressor knob to control the sound pressure. You can easily adjust it
from a natural effect to hard compression.
