Thread Name: Acoustic guitar processors
Subject: RE: Acoustic guitar processors
i fancy the new behringer tuner and A/B switcher footpedals out soon..

definitely well priced to take a risk..

i got an inexpensive behringer V-AMP 2 guitar processor for home use
which i think sounds better than my line 6 POD v.1

bought my nephew the footpedal version and it seemed very sturdy
and well made..

he thinks its great and uses it at school with his cheap electro acoustic..


this might be worth checking out

I got a less expensive earlier version Boss AD-3 a few years ago

http://www.hwaudio.co.uk/shop/product.asp?PLU=93686

to try to improve the live stagesound of a crafter bowl back mandolin
with horrible sounding piezo pickup..

the anti feedback function was there if i needed it

[which i never found i did]

i dont like chorus..

and not so bothered with reverb either..

the COSM modelling could only add a minimum of 'full body' / extra bassy boom to the overall sound of that wretched thin piercing piezo pickup..

in the end i decided no amount of technology would improve the sound of that mando..


so i replaced it with one with an old fashioned magnetic pickup
and an onstage miked up 10 watt practice amp..
