Members Zer0beaT Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 Ok I'll bite. You're playing a song with an electric guitar, but you need an acoustic guitar sound for a certain part, no time to swap physical guitars so you just want something the audience will recognize as acoustic sounding. This coming from someone who'd rather mic an acoustic than use a pickup because it sounds better. But sometimes you need to emulate something, and it doesn't have to be perfect, just passable.

This coming from someone who'd rather mic an acoustic than use a pickup because it sounds better. But sometimes you need to emulate something, and it doesn't have to be perfect, just passable. But this makes no sense to me....when recording you can record the part using a real acoustic....and when you perform the song live you do it electric, that 'certain part' doesn't have to be acoustic live. When Sugar played 'if I can't change your mind' (which is acoustic guitars on the album) Bob just played it electric live...imo a live song doesn't be just like the recording........ it just seems like a pointless execise to me.

Members Jeremy Skrenes Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 I had the Boss sim for a bit. It came in handy in a pinch but didn't sound that great. From what I've heard the Rockman didn't sound much better. Definitely worth trying before buying. The Behringer is probably a clone of the Boss unit. For what it's worth, an EQ pedal just doesn't have the filters dialed in like an acoustic sim does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members southpaw pete Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 A friend had a Zoom G2, and she asked me to set up some general settings for her - and that thing actually has a very decent acoustic sim - WAY better than the Boss! They should package that one effect in a single pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sethlover Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 Boss also makes this one below. That's basically what an acoustic simulator is doing, just eq'ing the guitar to sound like an acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluehuricane Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 please explain to me how this is a cool idea or something to be excited about. ok, make yr guitar sound like an ACOUSTIC guitar. how is that NOT dumb as hell? the only reason an acoustic simulator is considered a dumb effect is because it hasn't been executed well. if an acoustic simulator worked well, i'm sure it'd be an invaluable tool to a lot of cover bands who need it for one small bit of their set or whatever. saying "it makes your guitar sound like a guitar" is retarded as well. all the dudes trying to use boost and eq to beef up their single coils to sound like a les paul must be dumb too right? just making their strats sound like guitars right?

Members olgluefoot Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 I actually want one pretty badly. It cuts sustain and adds reverb. I have a lot of uses for that in my songwritting/jamming. Not really cause I want to sound like im playing an acoustic, but just because its a cool sound.

Members jgyn Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 I like my AC2 with a bass, especially fretless- it makes it sound closer to a stand-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members acousticDave Posted November 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 so far I've found four options: boss ac2, boss ac3, behringer am100, behringer am400. so boss and behringer are the only games in town, and they each have an older and an updated model available. does anyone have experience with any of these pedals? thanks.
