BOSS U.S.

Features

The BOSS AD-5 Acoustic Instrument Processor offers everything electric-acoustic guitar and bass players need to produce full, rich acoustic sounds in the studio or through an amplifier or PA system.

• Specially voiced acoustic instrument preamp with 4-band EQ
• High-quality Roland reverb, chorus and anti-feedback effects
• Innovative "Acoustic" effect uses separate "Body" and "Ambience" controls to turn the brittle, sterile sounds of a piezo pickup into the rich, "airy" sound of a miked acoustic guitar
• Separate piezo and magnetic pickup inputs
• 1/4" effects insert jack
• Stereo 1/4" unbalanced and balanced XLR outputs
• Preamp and effects can be bypassed for use as a dedicated DI box
