Andy here, and today we're going over the Boss AC-3 Acoustic Simulator. This pedal let's you transform any electric into an acoustic guitar with the help of Boss COSM technology. Along with 4 natural sounding acoustic models, the Boss Acoustic Simulator lets you shape the booming bottom with the Body control and the bright, percussive end via the Top control. Plus, built in Boss reverb adds a more spacious environment and sense of realism to the AC-3's acoustic tones. The Boss AC-3 Acoustic Simulator can also tackle a number of stage or studio configurations by using the line out for sending to a PA/mixer, soundcard or separate amp while a dedicated guitar amp output preserves your guitar's natural tone. - เพลง
What happens if you plug this into an acoustic guitar? Does it get even more acoustic? Or maybe it cancels the acousticness of the acoustic guitar and it starts sounding like an electric guitar? Someone try it please, I NEED to know.
I don't see why people rip on Boss.... I play on Boss, and I think they sound as good or better than a lot of other pedals on the market
I've tried it on bass guitar, and no, it doesn't sound like an acoustic bass, but it does give it a nice, natural woody tone, which I enjoyed a lot. But nothing like an acoustic bass.
My thing is, if I would've heard this on a record without having known it was a simulator, I would've thought it was an acoustic guitar. The facility of switching between the AC-3 & other pedals is a plus, thats why I bought it :D
Of course real Acoustics sound better, this is meant for people gigging who can't carry two guitars
Andy you make every guitar gadget a must! Great job!!
1:48 guns n roses - patience
best GnR Patience solo cover on youtube
i love your song choices and the pedal is amazing
The Gun's run was beautiful Andy. Good job!
Skid Row - I remember you.
Awesome choice Andy. One of my favorites from Skid Row. But you make me want to buy everything you demo. You make it all sound so good.
I Remember You, Patience, Lake of Fire, Andy knows all the good riffs!
Beginning - I remember you By Skid Row !
that's one of my favorite songs! love skid row. Awesome review guys!
Damn Andy, fantastic job with "Patience!"
nice slide work Andy.
oh MAN that tone when you kicked in the Power Stack was SICK.
I don't know, man, check out PRS's P22, that piezo pickup is incredible. Granted, its very utilitarian, but still awesome in every sense of the word!
IMO the only pedal/effect boss left out of their ME-70 multi-pedal, i'd easily switch the defretter or slow gear on that thing for a sweet AC-3 effect.
i wonder if this guy is from the 90's?
Very good demo
I Remember You by Skid Row. its an amazing song!!
2:34 patience guns and roses awesome
Alright I'm an acoustic lover so I've always been skeptical of these pedals. But when Andy kicked in the piezo mode for the dobro sound I was buying in!
The acoustic sound was through the "line out" output.
When the pedal is off the signal goes through the "g.amp out" output.
if there's an acoustic simulator, there should be a sitar, banjo and shamisen(3 stringed japanese guitar) simulators too =)
Mine gets very hissy when you play it. Any ideas what to do?
SICK TONE ON THE POWER STACK
I need help with this. I recently got one of these second hand, but I played it before I bought it and it sounded great! Once I got home the signal would dip down in volume and come back up again and pressing the pedal wouldn't make any difference... help!
I can still feel the twang of the Strat. Maybe this is something good for one to use it for just a while within a song for some acoustic guitar sound without switching guitar.
Love the opening riff. I believe it was Skid Row's I Remember You. I have the AC-2. It was good when it came out. But I have the Roland Cube60. The Roland has a pretty good acoustic preset. The AC-2 has lost it's "soul". The other riff I recognize was GNR'S Patience.
It may not sound as good as an acoustic but it's better than haling around another guitar!
WITH THE STRAT it definitely goes perfect.
Lake of Fire FTW!! Nice one Andy. :]
Quick question; if I wanted to get the most natural acoustic sound possible, would it be best to use humbuckers or single coils? And neck, bridge or middle position? I love the idea of being able to leave my acoustic at home, since I only use it on one or two songs in a gig.
As always, your videos are the best around. Thanks!
How does it do going from Playing a heavy overdriven sound then turning it on?
which is the song that sounds at 3:40??
I got an AC-3. When i turn up the TOP-knob, I can hear some kind of "fiss"-sound?
Is there something wrong with it?
@aznjt when you are plugged into both outputs it switches between the amp out and the direct out
does this have that Hisss when engaged??? I noticed that on other acoustic sim pedals
thanks all the time. YOU are the man. yes you are !!!!
Bear in mind that this may sound better without the Pre-Amp of your amp.
For example, I use a POD HD500 in the Combo Power Amp of a Blues Deluxe Reissue, and I'm sure that using a Direct Line FROM THE POWER AMP (for those who don't know, this bypasses the pre-amp) will achieve better results with such a pedal.
what is the first song played name?
how did you switch the pedals in the begining of the video with just one click???
Hey PGS, do you think this pedal would be useful for making a guitar sound more like a hollowbody electric, like a Gretsch?
are these generally better to throw in your effects loop?
Is he using a piezo bridge in this demo?
Hey Andy, thanks for all the cool demos. I've been using you guys lately and great prices and fast shipping. with the boss AC3 can you run both line and guitar out signals together to get the electric and acoustic flavors at the same time. I understand when you engauge the line out function it silences the guitar out signal. would be nice to have a blend.
Is it possible to plug active monitor speakers into the line out of the AC-3?
or is the signal too weak?
@mistakendrummer Stay tuned...
Hello Andy. quick question. did you use the AC-3 as a preamp to the ST-2? pls reply thnks.
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now ...
Can somebody tell me every song that this little part at 2:17 to 2:20 could remind me?
sounds good
will this work with my AFD100 its an all valve dirty amp
does anyone knows if it works good with a gibson les paul?
@aznjt No. The reason you couldn't hear the Power Stack was because I'm guessing when the AC-3 is engaged with a cable in the line out it's going to wherever you have that line out plugged into, this case being PGS's sound card. The Power Stack was on the whole time but the signal was going to the sound card, when he turned the AC-3 off the signal went right to the power stack and then to the amplifier. If something is plugged into the line out it will only play through that when engaged.
has anyone tried using the ac2 or ac3 with lr baggs x bridge or graphtech ghost?
I use this pedal with it going direct to the FOH while play a Tele on the neck pickup, but I still get a hiss in the background. Although not as bad as going straight to an amp, it's still annoying. Was Andy doing anything in particular to overcome this?
omg great idea for an intro song
Greetings,
this AC-3 seems to be very nice. I'd like to ask a thing about it. I'm playing small cafes and pubs with my acoustic guitar plugged in acoustic amp Marshall AD50D, which is very good, 'cause I can plug a microphone to the second microphone channel and I can play and sing the whole gig with it. But I have hollowbody electric guitar that I would like to use on a stage too. So my question is, would AC3 work with a hollowbody electric guitar plugged into acoustic Marshall AS50D? thanx
lake of fire... nice!
I remember you, -Skidrow
whats the song he plays at the start? its realy catchy i wanna learn it.
How does this sound with EMG's?????
How does this compare to the Behringer AM400?
What's the intro song ?
Goddamn it Andy, you're the best!
@Metallimeister I know that XD For "in the first part" I was meaning when begins the demo at 2:34,not at the beginning of the video,my fault. Sorry
I wonder what it sounds like with an acoustic plugged in
@Eldererr there is a sitar simulator by electro harmonix
although these boss pedal demos are really good, i'd love to see some more devi ever demos. That would be awesome!
can you do a demo of the boss bc-2?
I have a question, i have a BOSS ME-70 and i'm gonna buy this pedal, i have to buy another PSA for this pedal? or i don't need it? please answer the most fast you can
Is that Poor Tom by Zep at 4:16?
i have one , alot of hizzz coming up when you play can't used for quite on . sadly
I was waiting for the whistle solo in the Guns tune.... :)
where should it be in chain?
@tAkETM It's "I Remember You" by Skid Row. Awesome tune.
what's the song at the begging?
@jazzyfella08 Agreed. I hope this doesn't sound condescending or whatever, but Andy's playing has improved a lot over the past few years. Well done mate.
I want to hear it on bass!
I remember you, NICE
woke up to the sound of pouring rain... :-)
@yearofrolling Roland has a Banjo simulator in their GR-55 guitar synthesizer. might wanna check that out.
0:00-0:45 What Is It??
did you used a looper or digital playback with a pc?
hello,
is this a true bypass pedal ?
thanks
@Eurotour93 i would'nt imagine you would put much in a chain with this but i would put it near the start after your tuners and such.
Can someone post all the songs, I don't recognise some of them.
Nothin' on top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds!!!!
does it work with a bass guitar (to simulate acoustic bass) or with an electric upright to mimic a double bass? :)
i was going to buy this but sod it....the LINE OUT is pretty sweet but the G. AMP OUT output is really half-baked.
0:00 Skid row - I remember you! :D
wisdom! i have an explorer with seymour duncan JB's, and an SG, with an angus young humbucker in the bridge, through a marshall '77 JMP, and i couldn't ask for anything more amazing :) there's my opinion, peace!
i remmeber you - skid row
You basically make an Electro Acoustic guitar, an electro Acoustic-Acousic guitar.
@aznjt
At first it was just the ac3 through the line out into a mixer, then it went from the ac3 through the other output into the power stack, into an amp.
i want this pedal
Lake of Fire yeah!!!
