Zoom AC-2 Acoustic Creator, Acoustic DI with Tone Restoration, Tuner, Reverb, EQ, and Anti-Feedback

When I first received the pedal, I thought it sounded fine. But it's really hard to tell when you're at home. The live sound of your guitar affects what you're hearing from the pedal's output. The real proof of the pudding was in a live performance environment (in my case, as part of the church worship team). After a couple of uses, I asked the sound board guy if it made a positive difference. He's a real pro, so I trust his input. He said before, he would have to make quite a few adjustments to my channel to give the guitar (a Taylor) a richer, fuller tone. He said now he just uses the signal as-is, with no adjustments.For reference, I use the Single Cutaway setting, with the volume knob at about 10 o'clock, the Reverb knob at 9 o'clock, and Equalizer at 12 o'clock. So, while I was not particularly DIS-satisfied with the Taylor output (especially compared to an all-piezo bridge pickup), this pedal gives an even more natural sound - more like a mic'd studio environment. UPDATE: Dec 2023 - Tuning/Mute switch fails to mute.

The modulation is not the best. Tone is pretty bad. I use a Body Rez pedal for the tone. I was hoping for more. I shouldve saved my money and just bought a pedal tuner.

I read the reviews and watched the demonstrations and was intrigued. I play a Yamaha AC3R which has great tone and has two microphone models on board. My tone through our PA and my EIMs was pretty good, much better than the Taylor it replaced. I decided to give it a go and was not disappointed. I blend in the mic model (I use the ribbon model) with the piezo 50/50 and the sound through the the PA and my EIMs sound just like the sound when I'm sitting playing it unamplified - 'nuff said! Oh the tuner is easy to use and the boost function allows me to equalize the volume when I switch from a pick to finger picking.

Takes the quacky edge of of direct acoustic guitar pretty good. Not giving up recording with a mic but this is a very nice addition. Worth the money

Perfect foot pedal to actually make your acoustic guitar retain its natural sound through an amplifier!

This is an awesome device!!! Its quite difficult to get true sound of a high end ukulele when its amplified. This provides excellent tone for that purpose. Blending a picking solo on ukulele with swaps to rhythm strumming was a challenge - but the boost button for makes the audio balance for solos as a lone performer easy.

Bought two of these. Instructions included are useless as they are only printed in Chinese. You’ll need to download an English manual from the Zoom website. Firmware update app does not work with Mac OS Ventura 13.6.7 so no updating of firmware, if needed, is possible. Pedal otherwise adequate for the money.

Great product for acoustic guitars going direct to front of house
