  • Sam demos the the ZOOM AC2 Acoustic Creator Guitar Pedal and provides plenty of sound examples.
    Check out the ZOOM AC2 Acoustic Creator Guitar Pedal over at PMT Online: www.pmtonline.co.uk/zoom-ac2-...
    The Zoom AC2 Acoustic Creator allows you to get the best out of your acoustic guitar when plugging straight into a PA system. This means your guitar sounds as lush and resonant as it does when it’s unplugged allowing you to enjoy an accurate representation of your acoustic guitar sound.
    You have 16 source guitar presets to play around with allowing you to get the best sound whether you’re using a Parlor sized acoustic, a Resonator, a 12-string guitar or even an Upright Bass - the Zoom AC-2 can handle it all and bring out the best in your instrument when you plug straight into the PA system.
    Enjoy a high-quality pre amp sound which will boost your signal and restore your acoustic sound to its truest form and mix in a natural sounding reverb effect whilst you sculpt your ideal live sound with the 3-band EQ.
    A built-in tuner, anti-feedback button, balanced XLR output and extra gain signal boost up to 9dB make the Zoom AC2 a great touring and live partner for musicians of all levels.

    GOOD demo! Actually runs through the various models and possible EQ changes, compares with dry vs. FX, and didn't play an entire song on each setting, as SO many demo players do! Enough to give a taste, and moved on, to cover lots of ground quickly, as opposed to the ubiquitous, slow-moving "vanity demo" videos! THANK YOU!

    I have owned this pedal for about 4 years and use it for gigs every weekend. It's super easy to use and sounds great. The only warning I have for prosective buyers is that, if the pedal is being powered by 2 AA batteries, it will not last through a standard 3 hour gig. It dies at the 2.5 hour mark. Other than that, it's a great unit.

  • @RockyTopRetreat
    @RockyTopRetreat 2 роки тому +1

    Just one other comment. A good portion of the enhancement is reverb which you do not have when playing mic only. It would be better if you had reverb on the un-effected samples so we could eliminate that as a difference maker.

  • @danwhite7678
    @danwhite7678 Рік тому +3

      @vintageandmoderneffects 7 років тому

      2dan4me it's a tonal shaper for acoustic, that's all. There's no 'simulation' so plugging a standard electric into it sounds awful. I've always found that zoom pedals have never really hit the market with an acoustic simulator and always felt disappointed by their efforts which is always a shame because they create some good high gain tones even on some of their more budget level pedals

      If you're looking for amp, cab, and effect simulation that sounds like the real thing, check out one of our latest multi-effects pedals...the G5n (zoom-na.com/G5n), G3Xn (zoom-na.com/G3Xn), or G3n (zoom-na.com/G3n). Very nice video, Sam!

    Why did you use a 12-string guitar on the 12-string guitar setting? Use a 6-string guitar so that we'll know if the pedal actually makes it sound like 12-string GRRRRRRR
    Edit: And I just found out that he also used a nylon-string guitar to test the Nylon-string setting

    • @chasepop
      @chasepop 2 роки тому +1

      I think those settings are input settings, not output effects. If you're using a 12 string, put it on 12 string. Nylon strings, put it on that. Dreadnaught body, put it on that. Designed to individually enhance each different type of instrument. But you can obviously set it to whatever you want while playing whatever you want and get some diversity

    Once piezo kills your tone, your tone stays dead. Buy a microphone.

    • @Newnodrogbob
      @Newnodrogbob 5 років тому +2

      I mean sure, if that works for your performance environment. Sometimes you just can’t use a mic, and this sweetens up the sound quite a bit.
