Description

here at Just Pedals we love this Boss AD-2 Acoustic Preamp Pedal.

Every acoustic player needs a good preamp pedal to make sure they

a) Send enough signal to the mixing desk

b) Optimise the sound of their acoustic guitar

The Boss AD-2 is an all-in-one pedal that makes playing live easy with the ambience setting that gives you a touch of reverb to warm up that dry acoustic tone and an easy to use Acoustic Resonance knob that will dial in sparkle and fatness to your acoustic guitars sound.

The notch knob will allow you to pull out any unwanted frequencies and prevent feedback!

With the Line out and normal output you can even send a dry signal to the mixing desk without any reverb so that it can be added at front of house.

The AD-2 helps you stay consistent night after night with a great acoustic tone in a box.

Here’s what Boss say

Natural Acoustic Sound Everywhere You Play

With the AD-2 Acoustic Preamp, acoustic-electric guitarists can now experience natural, studio-quality sound while performing on any stage. Equipped with an advanced BOSS sound engine, this compact pedal packs sophisticated processing power that belies its small size and simple, intuitive interface. Acoustic Resonance reproduces the complex resonance characteristics of your unplugged tone, while Ambience provides pro-level reverberation perfectly optimized for acoustic guitar. The AD-2 also features essential stage tools such as a notch filter for feedback control, a balanced DI out for direct connection to a PA, and a convenient mute function for tuning and switching guitars.

  • Acoustic-electric guitar preamp with advanced BOSS sound processing
  • Sophisticated under-the-hood processing with multiple interlocked parameters, accessible with simple stompbox controls
  • Acoustic Resonance reproduces the complex resonance characteristics of an unplugged acoustic
  • Ambience knob provides wide-ranging, studio-quality reverb optimized for acoustic guitar 
  • Notch filter for instant feedback reduction
  • Normal output for an acoustic guitar amp and balanced DI output for direct PA connection
  • Sound mute function for switching guitars and tuning on stage

Bring Your Acoustic’s Natural Sound to the Stage
The tone of an acoustic guitar is created by the complex interaction of sounds from its body, top, strings, and other elements. And as you play with varying techniques, dynamics, and more, this interaction constantly evolves to create the rich, woody sound we love. Unfortunately, the standard undersaddle piezo pickups installed on most stage guitars simply can’t reproduce this resonant complexity. The AD-2’s Acoustic Resonance effect solves this issue by analyzing the input signal as you play, and then employing advanced processing to beautifully recreate your guitar’s naturally evolving tone.

Acoustic

Acoustic guitar effects are used to modify and enhance the natural sound of an acoustic guitar, offering a range of tonal possibilities beyond its traditional, unaltered sound.
These effects can be applied using pedals, multi-effects processors, or built-in effects units in amplifiers, allowing acoustic guitarists to explore a broader sonic palette and tailor their sound to fit different musical contexts

Pedal

A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.

This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.

Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.

Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.

Preamp

A preamp, short for preamplifier, is an electronic device used to amplify weak signals from guitars, microphones, or other audio sources before they are sent to a power amplifier or recording device. Preamps serve several important functions in audio systems:

1. **Signal Boosting**: The primary function of a preamp is to increase the level of weak signals to line level, which is the standard level used in audio equipment. This boost ensures that the signal remains strong and clear throughout the audio chain, minimizing noise and distortion.

2. **Tone Shaping**: Many preamps feature tone controls such as EQ (equalization) knobs or switches, which allow users to adjust the frequency response of the signal. This can include boosting or cutting specific frequencies to tailor the tone to the desired sound.

3. **Impedance Matching**: Preamps often include input and output impedance controls to match the impedance of the source device (e.g., a guitar pickup) with the impedance of the connected equipment (e.g., an amplifier or mixer). Proper impedance matching ensures optimal signal transfer and prevents signal degradation.

4. **Coloration and Character**: Some preamps are designed to impart a specific sonic character or coloration to the signal, adding warmth, richness, or saturation. This can be achieved through the use of vacuum tubes, transformers, or other analog components known for their unique sonic characteristics.

5. **Gain Staging**: Preamps play a crucial role in gain staging, which involves managing the levels of audio signals at each stage of the signal chain to optimize signal-to-noise ratio and prevent distortion. By adjusting the gain or volume controls on the preamp, users can control the overall level of the signal before it reaches subsequent stages of processing or amplification.

6. **Phantom Power**: Many preamps provide phantom power, which is required to power condenser microphones and certain active DI (direct input) boxes. Phantom power is typically supplied at +48 volts and is transmitted through the microphone cable to power the microphone or DI box.

Preamps are commonly found in a variety of audio equipment, including guitar amplifiers, mixing consoles, recording interfaces, and standalone preamp units. They are essential for ensuring clean, clear, and balanced audio signals in both live sound reinforcement and studio recording applications. Additionally, dedicated guitar preamps are available as standalone units or built into amplifiers, offering guitarists additional control over their tone and signal chain.
