Zoom AC-3 Enhanced Direct Box Acoustic Creator Multi-Effects Pedal ZAC3
Like its little brother, the Zoom AC-3 Acoustic Creator is an enhanced direct box with essential DI features that help you achieve great tone no matter where you play.
The AC-3 is equipped with an effects generator, stereo outputs, and a compressor. With these features plus the same high-quality preamp and 3-band EQ as the AC-2, the AC-3 is an all-in-one acoustic toolkit that's perfect for live performance and studio.
Tonal enhancement that's tailored to your exact guitar
Adapting the AC-3 to your specific instrument is easy. First,
select one of 16 Source Guitar presets like Dreadnought, Jumbo, or
Parlor, then choose whether you have a piezo or magnetic pickup.
After that, select one of the 15 Target Guitar presets like
D-Eighteen, Humming Bird, or J-Forty Five. That's it - you're
dialed in! You're ready to experience a lush, resonant sound that's
faithful to your guitar's original tone. Beyond that, the AC-3
takes all of the guesswork out of gain-staging - its Volume control
affects input gain and output level simultaneously.
Enhance your sound with ultra-smooth compression
The guitar is a dynamic instrument. That's why the AC-3 comes with
a compressor. It smooths out your playing, resulting in a full,
balanced sound. On top of that, by virtue of its one-knob design
and LED indicator, it's easy to adjust your dynamics parameters -
even during a live set. And if you really need a volume bump, you
can hit the Boost footswitch for an additional 9dB of gain - it
makes switching between strumming and fingerpicking virtually
seamless.
Polish your sound with onboard effects
The AC-3 comes loaded with nine different effects, such as delay,
chorus, and reverb. These algorithms were developed by Zoom
specifically for acoustic instruments, and they add a beautiful
depth and color to your sound.
