Restore Your Acoustic Tone

With 16 source guitar presets, the AC-2 recovers the sonic characteristics of a variety of guitar types and body shapes. You can choose from dreadnought, upright bass, nylon strings, 12 string, and more.

Simply select your guitar of choice, then choose piezo or magnetic pickup. From there, the AC-2 is ready to reproduce and amplify your guitar?s tone with complete accuracy.

Essential DI Features

The AC-2 features a high-quality preamp which boosts your signal and helps restore your true acoustic sound. Add its natural-sounding reverb to increase your acoustic?s depth and width, and round out your desired tone with easy 3-band EQ adjustments.

automatically controls the 
preamp?s input gain and

sound levels to match. It?s all
you need to make volume control
and setup simple when you?re
playing live on stage.

The AC-2 is also equipped
with an anti-feedback button
that automatically locates
and eliminates problem
frequencies ?an essential
for live performances.
