User questions & answers

Question:	Should this be used with an amp, or does it work going direct into the PA
Answer:	It works well either way. I have had success using it through expensive and cheap p.a. systems, and various guitar amps like Fishman and Bose. It always delivers the sound I want.
Question:	Would this be suitable for boosting/controlling the signal of an acoustic guitar with contact pickups or would a boost pedal be better
Answer:	I have found that this pedal is mostly to enhance the tone of the acoustic guitar. If you need to increase the volume you will be better off with some kind of booster pedal.
Question:	Does it work with a adaptor DC 9.5v - 1A
Answer:	I would recommend sticking with the official BOSS/Roland power supply or use a 9V battery.
Question:	Does it it work well with standard/non ac/electrics mic'd
Answer:	This box has no mic input. There are others that do, like the Zoom A3. The main function of this one is to process a piezo signal, and its tone controls are pretty minimal, so unless you want it for a piezo pickup, you should probably look at other boxes.

AD-2 Acoustic Preamp Pedal

With the AD-2 Acoustic Preamp, acoustic-electric guitarists can now experience natural, studio-quality sound while performing on any stage. Equipped with an advanced BOSS sound engine, this compact pedal packs sophisticated processing power that belies its small size and simple, intuitive interface. Acoustic Resonance reproduces the complex resonance characteristics of your unplugged tone, while Ambience provides pro-level reverberation perfectly optimized for acoustic guitar. The AD-2 also features essential stage tools such as a notch filter for feedback control, a balanced DI out for direct connection to a PA, and a convenient mute function for tuning and switching guitars.

Bring Your Acoustic’s Natural Sound to the Stage

The tone of an acoustic guitar is created by the complex interaction of sounds from its body, top, strings, and other elements. And as you play with varying techniques, dynamics, and more, this interaction constantly evolves to create the rich, woody sound we love. Unfortunately, the standard undersaddle piezo pickups installed on most stage guitars simply can’t reproduce this resonant complexity. The AD-2’s Acoustic Resonance effect solves this issue by analyzing the input signal as you play, and then employing advanced processing to beautifully recreate your guitar’s naturally evolving tone. Twisting the one-knob control adjusts multiple parameters inside the AD-2 to achieve the perfect tonal balance for any style, from delicate fingerpicking to intense strumming.

Enhance Your Guitar with Pro-Quality Reverb

After using Acoustic Resonance to bring back your guitar’s natural, intimate tone, adding some further depth and dimension with a little reverb makes it that much better. With the AD-2’s Ambience effect, you can dial in studio-quality reverb for any performing environment. Unlike standard reverbs that can cloud an acoustic guitar’s sound, the optimized BOSS algorithms in the AD-2 produce lush, deep ambience that perfectly complements your instrument’s voice. Like the Acoustic Resonance effect, a simple one-knob control tweaks many interlocked parameters under the hood, giving you access to a wide range of detailed reverb sounds.

DI Output and Feedback Killer

The AD-2 features two independent outputs for performance flexibility. Connect the Output jack to your acoustic guitar amp or stage monitor, and use the Line Out to send a balanced signal direct to the PA mixer. It’s even possible to turn off the Ambience effect in the Line Out signal, giving the PA engineer the flexibility to add their own reverb at the board. And if you encounter any low-frequency feedback issues on stage, the AD-2’s notch filter has you covered. As soon as you hear that familiar rumble, just turn the Notch knob until it goes away. It’s that easy!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the case metal, or plastic
Answer:	Metal Best sounding acoustic preamp for the money you can find I own 4 of them.
Question:	My unit isn't working with 9v batteries like it's supposed to. do i have to use a 9v power input or return the unit
Answer:	It should work with 9V batteries. They just don't last long. I recommend the wall wart for it. If it doesn't work at all with a 9V battery I would assume it's defective. I only use this power adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-PSU-SB-BEHRINGER-POWER-SUPPLY/dp/B000T9L7W2/ref=pd_bxgy_267_img_y
Question:	Would this pedal help eliminate feedback that occurs at higher volumes with Piezo pickups
Answer:	no, the pedal had the worst tone of any acoustic pedal i tried, save your money and step up to a Fishman Aura16 Acoustic Imaging Pedal, will sound better and help control feedback!!!
Question:	This thing only adds distortion to my acoustic guitar, no matter how I have it set. is it defective
Answer:	The one we bought has been working fine. We haven't experienced any distortion issues with our unit. Couple of things to try: make sure the battery is fresh or you are using a 9V power source; start with low gain settings and work up with tone controls centered; Try connecting the output of the ADI21 to the line-level input on your amp, you may be overdriving the microphone-level input on your amp; your guitar may be overdriving the input to the ADI21. If none of that helps nor the other six answers help, then I'd say it could be defective. --regards

ADI21

• Analog modeling acoustic guitar preamp/stompbox with DI recording output
• This Behringer product has been designed to compete head to head with leading products on the market
• Authentic tube/microphone modeling circuitry provides the natural warmth and presence, as if your acoustic guitar was miked through a tube pre-amp
• Ultra-musical 3-band EQ with sweepable mids for accurate feedback control and to eliminate the harsh harmonics of piezos

V-TONE ACOUSTIC DRIVER DI ADI21

For an unplugged sound that’s rich, loud and electrifying, step on the V-TONE ACOUSTIC DRIVER DI ADI21. This amazing little box is essential for piezo-equipped guitars and will make your acoustic guitar sound come to life! The ADI21 combines the features of an active DI (direct injection) box with our proprietary tube/mic emulation circuitry. Enjoy a full 3-band EQ with sweepable mids and a Blend control that allows you to mix the amount of amp and mic emulation you want with your direct signal. And if you prefer the “old-school” approach, just step on the switch and the ADI21 functions as a rather superb active DI box.

Great Sound, Naturally

By their very nature, piezo pickups tend to be very bright, with somewhat reduced bass response and warmth. The ADI21 combines the features of an active DI (direct injection) box with our proprietary microphone/tube emulation. The BLEND control allows you to mix the amount of modeled tone with your instrument’s normal output. The resulting sound is more natural with smooth saturation, just as if your guitar were being mic’ed in the great outdoors.

EQ and More…

Armed with an onboard 3-band EQ, with sweepable mids to keep feedback under control, the ADI21 effectively eliminates the harsh harmonics of piezo pickups. The output is laid out on 1⁄4" TS or balanced gold-plated XLR connectors, which can be used to send a low-impedance signal to the mixing console or straight to tape. You also get a ground lift switch to eliminate annoying ground loop hum problems. You can power this little lifesaver with a 9 V battery or our PSU-SB DC power supply (not included).

Sound Value

Putting some acoustic glory into your recordings or live performances has never been this easy—or sounded this incredible. The ADI21 gives you a full DI, amp/microphone simulation and a 3-band EQ with sweepable mids – a lot of value in one little box! Try the V-TONE ACOUSTIC ADI21 at your local Behringer dealer and find out just how affordable great acoustic sound can be.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with a template
Answer:	Our Sauvie will be good to wear in mild cold temperatures. We would not recommend for colder/extreme winter weather.
Question:	Does this come with a pick up rod
Answer:	These are women's sizes. In reading reviews of many rain boots that don't come in 1/2 sizes, it seems that people usually have to go up a full size and hope for the best. I have tried this with other boots and not been happy with either fit. Unfortunately it is trial and error. I went through many boots before finding these.
Question:	What is the measurement between screws
Answer:	I haven’t been on ice yet but I wouldn’t expect them to be as good as nonslip as boots made specially for ice. The tread just isn’t that deep. I love these boots though.
Question:	My guitar does not have this normally but I want to install one for recording purposes, will this work
Answer:	Yes. Very comfortable and flex easily.

About Kepma

Jack Peng & Kevin Liu have known each other since grade school. They grew up in environments where music was part of the family fabric and they taught themselves to play guitar on the simplest made instruments they were able to afford.

Fast forward to their University years, where they both studied mechanical engineering, and after graduating, they concluded that something needed to be done about the quality of guitars that were being made. That’s when they decided they would work together to develop manufacturing techniques and processes that would produce the best instruments on the face of the planet.

So in 2009, armed with startup funding from some supportive college friends, the Kepma Guitar Company was born. Jack and Kevin's engineering minds and fascination with famous makers from around the world led them on a quest to create a premium product using their philosophy of making one product and making it perfect each time.

User questions & answers

Question:	My volume control was bad after about an hour. I'm wondering if I bought another one do you think it might work
Answer:	The tuner is chromatic so even if you can’t adjust it you could always figure out how far off one led is (so if 1 light off is by say -4 you could detune 1 light flat to get 436 and so on with each led flat or sharp) by using another tuner that is capable of adjustment or has an anolog readout.
Question:	Was this not supposed to come with an installation guide
Answer:	you can use it for a semi hollow body, might have to dial the gain back a bit but you should be fine
Question:	can I plug both pickups from my takamine split bridge
Answer:	It does not. You will need a 9v dc adapter
Question:	Does it come with a pickup
Answer:	I do not know what they do. I normally leave them at "twelve o'clock", but I'm to play a gig right now, so I'll play with them a bit and get back to you. *** Ok, back from the gig. I tried a number of different setting combinations for the notch filter and the gain knobs, with little detectable difference that I could hear. I set all three knobs back to the "twelve o'clock" position. I am happy with my L.R. Baggs Venue DI. It produces a quality amplified acoustic sound that is considerably better than simply plugging directly into a portable amp such as my Line 6.

User questions & answers

Question:	I am confused; can this pedal take a solid body guitar as it's input, such as a Telecaster, and the output signal will sound like an acoustic guitar
Answer:	I`ve tried a solid body electric strat and it didn`t sound very good. It only seems to work on an acoustic with a piezo or a magnetic. Mine is a 400 dollar guild with a piezo and it sounds great. However it might sound good on an electric with a piezo but I`m not sure.
Question:	what is the max sample length for 3rd party IRs
Answer:	The nuix optima air is only suited for acoustic guitar IR`s which are of very short duration maybe a few milliseconds. I use the ones from Sigma.
Question:	Anyone try this with a 12-string with a piezo pickup to see if it gives it a more natural acoustic sound when using the IRs
Answer:	I tried it with a Tacomine 12 and wasn't very impressed with the results. There are other similar pedals that include settings for 12-string acoustics.
Question:	Has anyone used this for direct recording? How is the noise level? Does is have nylon ir’s
Answer:	Yes I`ve tried it for direct recording and it sounds fabulous. I use a guild D-240E with a piezo pickup which costs 399 new. You`ll need to experiment with it to find which preset works best for you, I use number 10 or 11. I`ve used numerous simulators over the years and this one nails it more than any other. I can`t imagine how it could sound any closer, Now it doesn`t come loaded with any classic guitar ir`s but you can load some from 3 Sigma Audio ir`s for classic guitar. Be sure to do the firmware update and download the editor. The noise level is very low.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hecho en USA
Answer:	Yes
Question:	How do I know if I need the wide or narrow version of this pickup
Answer:	It will depend if the groove in your bridge is slotted for a wide saddle or a narrow one. I think most of them are narrow. I got a narrow one and I put it on my Blueridge guitar & it fit good. I do not know what the measurements are for the grooves, but I know on my Martin D-35 the groove was narrow, & I have an Epiphone that has a narrow groove. If the groove has been widened for a compensated saddle you should be able to compare it to another guitar. Hope this helps. blugrsindn
Question:	Please whats the difference between this model and the fishman sonitone? what is sound best and most natural for an acoustic guitar orchestra size
Answer:	Don't know about the sonitone, but if you plug an internal mic to the infinity it will be the most natural preamp for acoustic.
Question:	Does this have the problems of a traditional under-saddle pickup with "quacking" on hard strumming
Answer:	Not that I have noticed. Have been using this model and its predecessors since 1998 and the only little thing is a tiny transient coming from the pick touching the string, especially 1st and 2nd, when playing really soft. Not sure what you mean by quacking but can't recall anything I would refer to as that. In every detail a great pickup, just plug in to a really good PA and blow everyone away./Lennart Andersson

Product description

A full-featured acoustic guitar preamping system that gives you a toolbox full of tonal tweaking options, the ability to blend piezo and add-on pickup sounds, plus choose from an array of output routing approaches. The Tonebone PZ-Pre Acoustic DI Box Preamp is equipped with piezo acoustic input signal boosters to allow both add-on instrument pickups and built-in, integral active preamps to be combined for a more natural rendering. It is compact yet full featured, designed for both studio and live performance.

The tone shaping on the PZ-Pre preamplifier is simple yet extremely musical. It features powerful bass and high controls with a semi-parametric mid. This is supported with a feedback eliminating notch filter with variable frequency sweep control and choice of normal and extra deep notch filtering. To help eliminate troublesome resonance, a dual slope low cut (high pass filter) is also provided. An internal polarity reverse can also be engaged to help eliminate run-away feedback.

This allows you to introduce an effect such as a chorus, or boost the signal for soloing with a simple foot stomp. A separate tuner out has also been provided along with a mute footswitch for on-the-fly tuning. To facilitate all kinds of monitoring, the Radial PZ-Pre offers the most comprehensive output array ever: A standard instrument amp output sends the instrument signal to your personal amplifier. A pre-EQ balanced lo-Z balanced output is used to route the flat, pre-equalized signal the signal to the front of house mix position, while...
