Acoustic Chorus guitar amplifier. We hope you'll take the time to thorough-
ly read through this owner's manual. It will help you fully appreciate all the
great features of the AC-100 and help to ensure that the unit provides you

Features
* The AC-100 is optimally designed for both acoustic and electro-acoustic
guitars. The amp includes digital effects that make use of Roland's DSP
technology to provide fat choruses and deep reverbs.
e The Chorus effect provides more warmth and creates a greater sense of
spaciousness compared with conventional effects thanks to a newly devel-
oped technique of sound imaging which separately outputs the various
frequency ranges of the sound.
e The AC-100 features a Tri-Amp system that uses three two-way speakers
to accurately reproduce the sound of an acoustic guitar.
e The MIC/AUX CHANNEL and GUITAR CHANNEL are each equipped
with a dedicated preamp, thereby allowing simultaneous use of a guitar
and microphone. This also makes it possible to set up a wide variety of
systems that include (for example) a recording device or rhythm machine.
e The GUITAR CHANNEL includes a SHAPE switch that lets you create a
wide range of sounds suitable for an acoustic or electric guitar.
e The AC-100 features an Anti-Feedback circuit to eliminate unwanted reso-
nances when using an acoustic guitar.
