Zoom AC2 Acoustic Creator Guitar Pedal Overview
Zoom AC2 Acoustic Creator Guitar Pedal Product Overview by GAK
Zoom's AC2 Acoustic Creator is a DI box, used to amplify acoustic string instruments both onstage and in the studio. AC-2 will allow you to perfectly sculpt your playing and automatically restores tone lost through acoustic pickups to ensure your unique sound remains at its best.
AC-2 features an impressive 16 source guitar presets to suit the characteristics of a variety of guitar types including dreadnought, upright bass, nylon strings, 12 string and more. After selecting your guitar of choice, you then choose piezo or magnetic pickup and then you are ready to go.
Essential DI features include a high-quality preamp which boosts your signal, restoring your true sound. You can also add its natural-sounding reverb to increase the depth and width of your acoustic guitar and polish your desired tone with 3-band EQ adjustments. 9 dB of gain can be added with a simple tap of your foot using the boost function which allows you to switch from strumming to finger-picking or vice-versa without losing a note.
Also integrated is a Anti-Feedback button which automatically locates problematic frequencies, eliminating unwanted feedback, crucial for giving live performances. Additionally, a built-in chromatic tuner mutes your playing sound when activated for discreet live tuning.
