About Boss AC-3

Just imagine the convenience of transforming your electric guitar into a variety of stunning acoustic guitars with the innovative BOSS AC-3 Acoustic Simulator. This compact pedal, a proud addition to the "Authentic BOSS" line, is a game-changer for musicians who value versatility and portability.

The AC-3 Acoustic Simulator is powered by BOSS's advanced COSM Acoustic-Modeling technology, a feature that sets it apart in the realm of guitar pedals. This high-quality technology, derived from the top-tier BOSS AD-8, enables the AC-3 to simulate the sound of an acoustic guitar with unparalleled precision and realism.

This user-friendly pedal offers four distinct simulation modes: Standard, Jumbo, Enhanced, and Piezo-equipped. The Piezo mode delivers that sought-after "cut through the mix" direct piezo sound, making it a standout feature. With the AC-3, you're not just getting a pedal, you're getting a tool that raises the bar for acoustic guitar modeling.

The AC-3 also provides fine control options with its Top and Body controls. These allow you to shape the characteristics of the four acoustic models, enabling you to create your perfect acoustic-guitar sound with simple knob twists.

Adding to its versatility, the AC-3 comes with a built-in digital reverb, adding depth and sweetness to your sound. This feature enhances the value of the pedal, making it feel like you're getting two pedals in one.

The AC-3 also boasts versatile output paths, with two sets of outputs for connecting to a standard guitar amp and to a direct input device such as a PA or recorder. This makes it an ideal choice for both stage performances and studio recordings.

In summary, the BOSS AC-3 Acoustic Simulator is a durable, advanced, and innovative solution for musicians seeking to expand their sound options without the need to carry extra equipment.

  • Four simulation modes: Standard, Jumbo, Enhanced, and Piezo-equipped
