One of the most powerful features of BOSS's AD-2 Acoustic Preamp pedal is its ability to work as flawlessly running into an onstage acoustic amplifier as it does direct to the soundboard for performing or recording. The instrument-level output acts just like any other effect pedal, sending your processed signal to an instrument amplifier. Or you can utilize the 1/4" TRS line-level output for routing your sound direct to the board at full power. Either way, the BOSS AD-2 Acoustic Preamp pedal has you covered.

Another important consideration for acoustic performers is the ability to introduce the sound and feeling of space into their instrument's tone. The AD-2 has that covered as well. And like every aspect of the pedal, it's a quick twist of a knob. The Ambiance control injects studio-quality reverb into your signal, removing the direct and lifeless-feeling that plugging in direct can sometimes elicit. And the reverb has been carefully voiced to never cloud your original tone.

Everyone at Sweetwater knows that controlling feedback is a must for any acoustic-electric performer. BOSS took that into careful consideration when designing the AD-2. You'll find a handy knob labeled Notch on the face of the pedal that is just as simple to use as the pedal's Resonance feature. Just start playing. When feedback begins to rear its ugly head, simply turn the Notch control until it disappears. It couldn't be easier, and it couldn't be more effective.

BOSS's AD-2 Acoustic Preamp pedal is a convenient and easy way to elicit natural and woody tones from your acoustic-electric instrument's pickup system, whether performing live or recording. Just turn the Acoustic Resonance control to your desired level, and you'll hear an increase in warmth and depth that many pickup systems often can't produce on their own. Controls for Ambiance and Notch add reverb and cut problem-feedback respectively. And the AD-2 even boasts line- and instrument-level outputs for whatever amplification method you choose.
