Boss Acoustic Simulator alternatives?

[vernplum]

Hi

Anyone know of any alternative 'acoustic simulator' pedals apart from the yellow Boss one pls?

Do you guys rate the AC-2 highly anyway?

i dont rate the ac2 as in highly, but it just does it job ok. It "simulate" a workable acoustic sound, but in no way sounding like real one. Work better with single coil than humbucker imho

other than the boss ac2/ac3, theres another from zoom. Its a multi efx with drum machine, A2. Its a acoustic geetar efx thou, but theres acoustic modelling patches in it. Cant remember how it sounds like coz its been a long time since i tried it with electric geetar. Only thing i remember now is the cheesy drum rhythm pattern in it to play along for indulgence.

Can I suggest installing a piezo pickup?

I absolutely love mine and would recommend it to anyone...

I thought the AC-2 would have been an interesting addition to my tones... after hearing how the guitarist (Victor something...) in Rage use it on the Soundchaser album - I thought it was nifty.

I didn't view it as providing anything authentic though. I expected emulation/simulation and I got it.

I sold off the pedal after a while.

Ha!

Ah... just remembered this:

An AC-2 demo I did...

I used similar settings on the AC-2, but I switch pup positions.

This was done with my old Ibanez Saber - H-H config with lots of switching options, split lah, parallel lah, 2 hums in parallel lah, etc etc.

does make the electric sound like its peizo equipped. but nothing more really. nothing beats having an acoustic on hand instead.

in my opinion, AC-2 sounds horrible when you are playing through a guitar amp.
my suggestion is to play the AC-2 with an acoustic guitar amp. in this way you will get a more usable sound.

and it takes single coils better than humbuckers imo
