[Product Features and Key Highlights]

● “ACOUSTIC RESONANCE” Function that Reproduces the Natural Sound of an Acoustic Guitar The piezo pickups commonly used in many acoustic-electric guitars often struggle to fully reproduce the complex resonance of the guitar body. The ACOUSTIC RESONANCE function built into this unit analyzes the resonance of the guitar’s body and strings, recreating a natural and three-dimensional acoustic sound. It allows players to preserve the nuances of their performance, from delicate fingerpicking to powerful strumming.

● High-Quality Reverb “AMBIENCE” Optimized for Acoustic Guitar This unit features a reverb specifically tuned for acoustic guitar. Simply adjusting the AMBIENCE knob adds natural space and depth to your sound. No complicated settings are required—studio-quality ambience can be achieved with simple operation.

● Built-in NOTCH Filter to Suppress Feedback To address feedback issues that often occur during live performances, this unit is equipped with a dedicated NOTCH filter. By precisely cutting only the problematic frequency range, it helps maintain the natural tone of the acoustic guitar while ensuring a comfortable performance environment.

● LINE OUT Jack for Direct Connection to PA or Recording Equipment The unit includes a balanced LINE OUT jack that allows direct connection to mixers or recording devices. This ensures clear and well-balanced sound in live venues and studio environments. It can also be used simultaneously with the amplifier OUTPUT for flexible setup options.

● Convenient Mute Function for Stage Use A footswitch-operated mute function allows for smooth operation during tuning or when switching guitars. This helps prevent unwanted noise during live performances.

● Compact Yet High-Performance Design Despite its compact stompbox-sized enclosure, this unit incorporates BOSS’s proprietary high-performance sound engine. It is easy to integrate into a pedalboard and convenient to transport. With simple knob controls that allow advanced sound shaping, it is recommended for a wide range of players, from beginners to professionals.
