Acoustic Resonance
Unlike other preamps that only capture the sound from the bridge area of your electro acoustic guitar, the Boss AD-10 uses advanced Acoustic Resonance technology that analyses your pickup signal and delivers the full acoustic sound as it was meant to be heard. This is ideal for both live performances and recording as you can deliver the best sound possible.
Two Channels For Added Versatility
The Boss AD-10 Acoustic Preamp is equipped with two channels, perfect for when two guitars are needed. Each channel features independent EQ for tonal shaping, and accommodates different pickup types. In addition, the EQ settings feature four bands, along with a variable low-cut filter for added control.
Onboard Effects
As well as delivering the perfect acoustic tone, the Boss AD-10 is also equipped with a full host of onboard effects that have been especially designed for electro-acoustic guitars. These include; ambience, delay, and chorus effects with multiple sound types and adjustable parameters. If that's not enough, players can also benefit from three types of Reverb, especially tuned for guitar. As well as effects, the AD-10 also features an onboard looper, memory presets and a built-in tuner.
Connectivity Options
For live performances or studio sessions, the AD-10 is equipped with an XLR input for direct connectivity to PA systems. As well as this, a stereo ¼-inch jack is also included and allows you to connect to an amp or to headphones. A USB audio interface is also featured, allowing you to connect to computers for studio recording and more.
Compact, Roadworthy Design
The Boss AD-10 features a compact and roadworthy design. Players can enjoy an easy-to-use interface, with three footswitches for hands-free operation. The AD-10 also features top mounted jacks, perfect for placing alongside other pedals on a pedalboard.
