Equipped with Acoustic Resonance technology, the AD-10 will faithfully deliver an accurate tone, capturing every nuance of your instrument. For tonal shaping, the Boss AD-10 features two channels, each with independent 4-band EQ. Players can also benefit from an onboard looper memory function, multi-band compressor, and a built-in tuner. If that’s not enough, this high-quality unit is also equipped with an XLR input for direct connectivity to the front of the house.
Acoustic resonance
The Boss AD-10 Acoustic Preamp is unlike other preamps that only capture the sound from the bridge area of your electro acoustic guitar. The Boss AD-10 uses advanced Acoustic Resonance technology that analyzes your pickup signal and delivers the full acoustic sound as it was meant to be heard. This is ideal for both live performances and recording, as you can deliver the best sound possible.
Two channels for additional versatility
The Boss AD-10 Acoustic Preamp is equipped with two channels, perfect for when two guitars are needed. Each channel features independent EQ for tonal shaping and accommodates different pickup types. In addition, the EQ settings feature four bands along with a variable low-cut filter for added control.
Onboard effects
The Boss AD-10 is also equipped with a full host of onboard effects that have been especially designed for electro-acoustic guitars. These include ambient delay and chorus effects with multiple sound types and adjustable parameters. If that’s not enough, players can also benefit from three types of reverb especially tuned for acoustic guitar. The AD-10 also features an onboard looper memory, presets, and a built-in tuner.
Connectivity options
The Boss AD-10 Acoustic Preamp is great for live performances or studio sessions, as it is complete with an XLR input for direct connectivity to PA systems. As well as this, a stereo 1/4-inch jack is also included and allows you to connect to an amp or headphones. The USB audio interface gives you the ability to connect to computers for studio recording and more.
Compact roadworthy design
The Boss AD-10 features a compact and roadworthy design. Players can enjoy an easy-to-use interface with three footswitches for hands-free operation. The AD-10 also features top-mounted jacks, perfect for placing alongside other pedals on a pedalboard.
