Sep 16, 2008 09:55 pm The Boss AC-3 is supposed to be pretty decent. I have not heard one used first hand, or at least not that I know of anyway.
I used to use a Parker Fly Deluxe and really liked it live. And in the studio on certain mixes.
can anyone recommend an acoustic simulator?

hello,
looking at buying an acoustic simulator to add to my guitar effects rig as i need to switch between an acoustic and regular effects a lot and changing guitars is out of the question.
I already have a zoom gfx 8 - the simulator is alright, nothing major, just wondered if i could do better.
can anyone recommend a good pedal?
Cheers!

Oct 20, 2008 12:02 pm yeah my dad has the boss acoustic simulator that "noize" was refering to its sounds okay i guess the one cool thing about it is you can plug it in stereo to seperate amps. but other than that i dont think its very good but i would say try it out at guitar center maybe its something you'd be into, me personally I like the real thing and would just say to switch guitar to acoustic.
Oct 20, 2008 12:24 pm sorry i was thinking of the ac-2 the old acoustic sim. the newer ac-3 might be cooler than the old one i was reading up on it and it says you just line out to your amp and the other line out to the PA. to get some warm tones
check out this article on it

Oct 20, 2008 12:25 pm Believe it or not, the acoustic simulator on my Digitech RP250 is actually quite good. The presets available are a very piezo sounding, nasaly, almost "Ovation" type thing. The other is very much like a dreadnaught (if you like that kind of thing). I have used the dreadnaught one, with a little tweaking, to very good results.
Oct 21, 2008 03:33 pm An acoustic simulators sounds are going to be very dependant the guitar it's used on . There's only so much they can do, and the guitar has alot of how well it does it .
Digitech, Roland COSM-based, and Rockman make some that are ok . I use a Rockman stompbox type for live stuff... really helps with acoustic guitars that have a woody in them .
