Advanced ModelingBOSS’s COSM Acoustic-Modeling technology is beautifully showcased in this small but powerful pedal, which simulates an acoustic guitar much more precisely and realistically than previous technology allowed. Derived from BOSS top-of-the-line AD-8, the AC-3 simulates the sound of an acoustic guitar with incredible precision. Four simulation modes are provided: Standard, Jumbo, Enhanced, and Piezo-equipped; the latter supplies that famous “cut through the mix” direct piezo sound. |
Fine ControlPrevious compact acoustic-guitar modeling-pedals were promising, but now the bar has been raised with AC-3. Top and Body controls are provided for shaping the characteristics of the four acoustic models. Create the perfect acoustic-guitar sound quickly and easily with simple knob twists. |
Versatile Output Paths and Reverb IncludedTwo sets of outputs are provided for connecting the AC-3 to a standard guitar amp and to a direct input device such as a PA, recorder. Add depth and sweetness to the sound with the AC-3’s built in digital reverb. It’s like getting two pedals in one! |

I am playing a Fender American Standard Strat through a Fender Blues Junior amp. The Strat is about as "electric" as it get and I've dealt with the loss of "bass" tone with thte use of an Equilizer. The Boss AC-3 has helped me achieve a really nice acoustic simulation, which has made playing more enjoyable for me. I do have some difficulty with the "Top" end control adjustment being very sensitive, causing an annoying, unwanted hiss and distortion, but work most of it out with turning it down to a minimal position and compensating the drop in trebles with twiking my equilizer. I'm still experimenting and twiking for "my" sound, but thus far I believe that the Boss AC-3 is meeting my expectations and is central to my set up.
However there is a constant hum in the background that doesn't go away unless u lower the Top knob and when hitting the last string hard or put some strength on chords a horrible hiss is accompanied with the sound.
I am quite disappointed as I was really excited about this pedal.
