The BOSS AD-2 Acoustic Preamp is a professional acoustic guitar effects and preamp pedal designed to deliver natural, studio-quality acoustic tone in any performance environment. Featuring advanced BOSS sound processing technology, the AD-2 restores the rich resonance and character of an unplugged acoustic guitar while providing essential stage-ready tools including optimized reverb, feedback control, balanced DI output, and silent tuning functions.
Designed for acoustic-electric guitarists performing live, the AD-2 addresses the limitations of traditional piezo pickups by recreating the complex tonal interaction of an acoustic guitar’s body, top, strings, and natural resonance. The Acoustic Resonance effect intelligently processes the input signal to restore a more organic and dynamic acoustic sound, from delicate fingerstyle playing to powerful strumming performances.
The BOSS AD-2 also features the Ambience effect, providing lush studio-quality reverb specifically optimized for acoustic guitar. With simple one-knob controls, players can quickly adjust sophisticated internal processing parameters to achieve professional results without complicated programming.
With flexible output options, including a standard output for acoustic amplifiers and a balanced DI output for direct connection to PA systems, the AD-2 is built for professional stages, worship performances, concerts, recording applications, and acoustic live setups.
