BOSS - Acoustic Preamp AD-2 + KORG AW-OTG-POLY + Marks Original Cross Set

The sound of an acoustic guitar is made up of a complex interplay of various elements, including the body, top plate, strings, and playing method. The AD-2 thoroughly pursues this warm acoustic sound with complex resonance characteristics. By controlling the amount of resonance, this preamplifier can add a vivid, natural sound as if you were playing an acoustic guitar right in front of your eyes, to the hard sound characteristic of piezo pickups. Just by turning a single knob, you can control multiple intricately intertwined parameters to achieve the best acoustic sound. From delicate fingerpicking to dynamic strokes, you can perform any style with the best sound quality. A wide range of sounds is an element of a high-quality acoustic guitar sound. However, reproducing this sound on stage requires the advanced skills of a PA engineer. It is also necessary to control howling, which tends to occur with acoustic guitars. The AD-2 is equipped with a dedicated notch filter that controls only the frequency range that causes howling while minimizing timbre changes, ensuring the natural sound of an acoustic guitar. The AD-2 is equipped with a natural ambience tuned specifically for acoustic guitars. Obtaining beautiful reverberation while preserving the rich reverberations of an acoustic guitar requires extremely complex settings. Like acoustic resonance, a single knob controls numerous internal parameters that are intricately linked. With simple operations, you can reproduce the high-quality spaciousness of studio quality. In a typical acoustic guitar stage setup, the guitar signal is split into two outputs using a DI box. One output is sent to the guitar amp, and the other output is sent to the PA. The AD-2 is equipped with a LINE OUT jack that allows direct balanced connection to a PA, and its tone is custom-tuned for line output. BOSS collaborated with numerous guitarists and PA engineers to create a new line sound that is optimized for both parties. It provides an ideal line sound with a well-balanced overall balance that coexists with natural resonance and core piezo sound. Additionally, if feedback occurs on stage, you can use the notch filter function to deal with it. Feedback can be easily removed by simply turning the NOTCH knob. You can reproduce natural acoustic guitar sounds in a variety of live situations.
