The Zoom AC-2 Acoustic Creator will allow you to amplify your acoustic sound. The AC-2 is a DI (direct box) that incorporates all you need to deliver natural guitar tone in front of an audience or in the studio. The AC-2 naturally reestablishes tone lost through acoustic pickups, so your sound is consistently rich, full, and faithful to the instrument you have in hand.
With 16 source guitar presets, the AC-2 restores the sonic qualities of an assortment of guitar types and body shapes. You can choose from dreadnought, upright bass, nylon strings, 12 string, and more.
Just select your guitar of choice, then choose piezo or magnetic pickup. From that point, the AC-2 is prepared to reproduce and enhance your guitar's tone with complete precision.
