    Very nice condition, little to no marks. Plays well with excellent tone. Looks exactly as pictured in the photos. Worth the price, and appreciate the discount code. Packaging was very abundant and safe. A little disappointed with shipping but thats on the shipping companies part. Would buy from again.

    Cool sound, takes a little time to dial it in - save the receipt!

    A bandmate of mine had an early version of the Boss Acoustic Simulator back in around 2004, which according to Wikipedia was before the "COSM" modeling was introduced. He used it as an effect more than as a way to try to make his Tele sound like and acoustic guitar. I always loved the sound and thought it gave the Tele a unique sparkle that was very different from the traditional compressed bridge pickup tele twang. I finally gave it a try, and the reason it gets four stars is that you really do have to spend some time with this to make it work. I'd put it more in the category with a guitar synth or the EHX 9 Series the way that I use it - nobody's going to wonder where I've hidden my Hummingbird, and after trying every guitar I own (electric and acoustic) the only guitar that really ...

    A mediocre pedal - not for everybody

    I pulled the trigger on this Boss AC-3 Pedal mainly because of the price. I will never buy this pedal at full price. After testing the pedal for a day with various electric guitars, I find its function not very convincing. Maybe it's just me but the acoustic guitar sound simulation that I was hoping to hear was not there.

  • Like fake bacon

    No one would think fake bacon is real. But it's pretty good in a salad or sandwich. The Boss AC-3 pedal works nicely by itself. But it sounds better in the mix with a larger ensemble. I got it to sound similar to a slightly electrified acoustic on my Ric 360/12 (single-coil neck pickup and a hidden piezo inside). It's giving me the juiciness I was missing when I switched from acoustic to electric. You would probably need some EQ fix for the high-pitched whine. I just turn down the treble on my amp and it seems to be fine. Not a perfect acoustic simulation, but it gets you most of the way there.

  • THE MISSING LINK IN MY GUITAR RIG.

    This little pedal is well thought out and works nicely. It offers two major improvements to my situation. I am a hobbyist/semi-pro...more “semi” than “pro” these days at 70 years old. My hands are starting to go...and that brings me to the first good thing about the AC-3. My Martin HD28 acoustic still sounds way better of course...always will, but the AC-3 gives a reasonable approximation with my Stratocaster GC-1 using the NECK POSITION SINGLE COIL pickup through a Bose PA...but with way lighter strings and easier action. Of course the play feel is very different but I can live with it. Secondly, my rig is built around a Voicelive 3X for my vocals and most guitar effects (other than acoustic) working in conjunction with a venerable old GR-30 guitar synth, all run by bluetooth MIDI from ...

  • Works in a pimch

    I purchased this pedal while playing in a show that required me to switch between electrics and an acoustic several times. Not wanting to bring a third guitar to the show every night, this pedal was adequate enough for my purpose. As others have said, it has a buzz when the highs are turned up for a more realistic sound, making it hard to find the perfect mix. With a lot of experimenting, though, I was able to find an adequate sound. This pedal is not a perfect solution to the problem, but it will serve as a temporary aid.
