YOUR ACOUSTIC SOUND—AMPLIFIED
THE ZOOM AC-2
Acoustic Creator
Amplify your acoustic sound with the Zoom AC-2 Acoustic Creator. The AC-2 is a DI (direct box) that encompasses all you need to deliver natural guitar tone on stage or in the studio. The AC-2 automatically restores tone lost through acoustic pickups, so your sound is always lush, resonant, and faithful to the instrument you have in hand.
Optimize the Sound of Your Acoustic-electric for Performance
Much more than a direct box, the Zoom AC-2 Acoustic Creator pedal delivers more realistic, organic tone from your acoustic-electric's pickup system than you ever thought possible. To start, choose from 16 instrument types that best represents the type of instrument you're playing, whether it's a dreadnought, 12-string, upright bass, or other acoustic-electric guitar. The AC-2 then enhances the tonal components that built-in pickup systems often fail to deliver. The result is like miking up your instrument in a studio. Every acoustic-electric musician needs a quality DI box, and the Zoom AC-2 Acoustic Creator pedal delivers everything you need plus unique tone-shaping capabilities.
Built-in Tuner, Boost, and 3-band EQ
Beyond making your acoustic-electric guitar sound as good as it can, the Zoom AC-2 Acoustic Creator pedal delivers all the functionality you need at a gig. A built-in 3-band EQ gives you control of Bass, Middle, and Treble frequencies. A footswitchable Boost with up to 9dB of gain is perfect for highlighting solos or for switching between picking and fingerstyle playing. The built-in tuner conveniently mutes your signal when engaged. And there's even a reverb effect for adding ambiance to your tone. All things considered, Sweetwater guitarists see the Zoom AC-2 Acoustic Creator pedal as a gig-ready direct box that also provides unique tonal enhancement.
