AC-3 Acoustic Simulator Guitar Pedal

ADVANCED ELECTRIC-TO-ACOUSTIC GUITAR MODELING

BOSS is pleased to offer another “Authentic BOSS” Compact Pedal: the AC-3. How many times have you been onstage or in the studio with your electric guitar, and wished that you’d brought an acoustic along? For musicians who travel light, hauling an extra guitar to the gig isn’t always the most attractive option. BOSS AC-3 to the rescue! This new-generation compact pedal employs COSM modeling technology to transform any electric guitar into a variety of beautiful acoustic guitars.

  • BOSS’s most advanced acoustic-guitar modeling in a compact pedal
  • Four simulation modes: Standard, Jumbo, Enhanced, and Piezo-equipped
  • Top and Body knobs for fine-tuning the virtual-body resonance
  • Built-in reverb, optimized for acoustic-guitar simulation

Advanced Modeling

BOSS’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 Control

Previous 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 Included

Two 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!

Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the pedal. Some mention that it sounds great, has helped them achieve a really nice acoustic simulation, and can get a variety of sounds out of this pedal. However, others say that it is hard to overcome the ultra tinny sound it produces, regardless of how you set knobs. They also mention that there is a constant hum in the background that doesn't go away unless you lower the volume.

"This thing sounds great, I play electric 1 at my church and occasionally we need an acoustic sound when our acoustic player isn’t there, this pedal..." Read more

"Can get a variety of sounds out of this pedal" Read more

"...adjustment being very sensitive, causing an annoying, unwanted hiss and distortion, but work most of it out with turning it down to a minimal..." Read more

"It’s amazing to switch to an Acoustic sound from heavily distorted guitars! Get a direct box and do direct to PA." Read more
