Love it and just bought one! The only thing about this video I wish the pedal would have been shown. That way everyone could see the adjustments.
Thanks for checking out the vid, and for the suggestion! Hope you dig the pedal! \../,
The problem with Acoustic Simulators (well ONE of the problems) is that when you're strumming an electric guitar, open chords in particular, you have to have impeccable technique or at least be aware that light gauge strings are so easily bent out of tune which causes the guitar sound out of tune. To my ears it stands out, maybe others don't notice as much. That aside, great demo and thank you!
That's a really good point - you're definitely right on that. Gotta be super conscious of how you're fingering the notes, but when used right, I do think simulator pedals can be a lot of fun. Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed the vid
I've been checking out a way to get the sound Gary Moore had on his song BUSINESS AS USUAL (Live and in studio) without buying all the pickups and extra wiring. Checked out a Boss and everything just sounds like an electric guitar to me. This pedal however sounds as close as I can get without spending a fortune. Thanks for a very informed post!
Thank you! Really glad you liked the vid - Hope the pedal works out well for you!
Great demo. I am a bit new on guitar, I did buy it to keep training at night using my electric guitar instead of acoustic with phones... what do you think about this idea?
Thanks very much! Yeah that's a great idea - perfect way to cut down on the ambient room noise, AND try out different acoustic tones at the same time - very cool
@@JustinBlair thanks for this quick answer. I was wondering if is good idea, thats why I posted the question. Thank you to use your time to answer me. Much appreciated, as well I notice that the technique in the electric must be more specific otherwise sounds like out of tune, something not noticed on the acoustic so easy. But perhaps is a way to refine the techniques too :)
Great demo, very high quality. Have you tried the Boss AC-3? If so, which pedal do you prefer? Thanks for the awesome content. Rock on! 🤘
Thanks for checking out the video and the kind words! I did try that one out a little while back - both are great pedals - I would say the main benefit of the Boss is the slightly wider range of tweaking and tone control, while the Mooer is a little more intuitive and quicker to get up and running. Also, at about a third of the price, I would overall recommend the Mooer. Thanks again!
@@JustinBlair Yeah, the price difference is insane and I'm not sure I want to go full Rolls Royce and buy the Boss pedal. Thanks for the quick response!
@@motorhead41 Absolutely! Hope it was helpful - haha I hear ya - enjoy the pedal! \../,
The Mooer is by far the best acoustic sim, in pedal format. I originally bought one for an electric upright bass (stick bass). It works amazing for that. Not quite the big woody bass sound, but a huge improvement over the straight piezo bridge pickups. My best advice to anyone using this pedal.... DON'T try to sim an acoustic, but think of it more as turning your electric into a semi-hollow. If you go in, expecting the semi hollow experience and not the 1930s martin experience, this will be pedal, that never leaves your board. A true sleeper pedal.
@@jefffoertsch2867 Great notes! Very good points. Thanks for checking out the video! Yeah this pedal is great - definitely a fan.
Could you say whether you have plugged this into an effects loop or the front end? Thanks for the demo.
Sure thing! This is plugged directly into the front. Thanks for watching!
Okay handkerchief and chain on the guitar, i'm on board.
Hahaha! Absolutely! Thanks for checking out the video!
Using one of these and playing close to the neck, will make it sound even more like an acoustic, selector in split or neck pup. You might even have to drop the bass a bit though.....
Thanks for checking out the vid! Yeah, great tips - playing closer to the neck or bridge does dramatically change the tone while using this pedal.
@@JustinBlair 👍🏻
"What you mean? I tuned my Guitar last week"
Did you try this pedal with other effect for example reverb/delay/chorus?
I buy this pedal.every control 60% in jumbo mode.i play with prs se starla in middle position split coil and sound very close to acustic guitar
Awesome! Sounds like a great setup. Thanks for sharing!
they should add a blend control to mix in the electric signal
That's a cool idea! Would be a great feature
Hey dude suppose I am in the overdrive channel and then mid song i use this pedal,will I get an acoustic sound or an OD acoustic trash or something? I am pretty new to pedals and stuff.
Great question - If you run this pedal into the overdrive channel on an amp, it will sound sort of like plugging an acoustic guitar into an amp - I wouldn't necessarily recommend this, but it might work out, depending on the tone you are looking to get. Thanks for watching!
@@JustinBlair thanks dude.subbed :D
@@gigachad6117 I appreciate it! Lemme know if you have any other questions on pedals as you check them out
What position you use on guitar and if you play with humbacker or split ?
Hey Alex - thanks for the question. I have my guitar toggle switch on the ''Treble'' setting.
These work much better using the neck pickup.
The only acoustic sim worth the money is the Hotone Omni AC
Every time I watch a review about one of these pedals the guys says "if you don't wanna lug around two guitars" but there's another reason: apparently nobody wants to swallow their pride and admit that an acoustic is harder to play. On a high-end, $4000 acoustic guitar you still have to press about five times harder on the frets then you do on a $90 electric. Don't believe me? Search "Slash acoustic" and you'll see (no, it's not a drunk video) nearly 30% of *his* notes are completely muted. The strumming (of course) is fine but the arpeggios sound pretty bad. But his solos! His solos sould like a little kid played them.
And that's why, even though I'm a music fanatic, who barley goes four hours a day without my guitar on my lap, I can say without shame, once I bought a similar pedal, I'll likely live my whole life and never touch that goddamn instrument again.
Well said, and very true! That's a good point. Killing two birds with one stone I guess! haha. Thanks for watching!
You ain't met us then
I always have problems making it loud in the chain
Thanks for checking out the video! A compressor before this pedal is a great way to boost the signal, and give that sturdier string feel that acoustic brass strings have.
How does this pedal sound through a JC-120? Anyone experienced with that?
Good question!
This guitar is a Dean bro?
Epiphone Goth Model actually - thanks for checking out the vid!
What guitar u r using?
It's the Epi Goth model with a few cosmetic changes - all original electronics though. Thanks for watching!
Have any of you guys tried this pedal out? It's a lot of fun! Let me know what you think of it in the comments!
You think it's good? what is the price
just a though but maybe you could tune your guitar
