Re: Boss AC-3 Acoustic Simulator vs Boss AC-2 Acoustic Simulator
The AC2 was innovative but not quite there, though it has its supporters. The AC 3 sounds much better. It uses Boss CSOM technology to simulate the guitar. Once this tech became available boss used it in a lot of its simulators.
I have an AC 3 which I like. Alone it’s close to an acoustic. In a mix it’s almost indistinguishable, so close as to not be an issue.
Those who don’t like it don’t seem to realise you always plug into the PA jack, never the amp jack. Even when going into an amp.
I haven’t tried it on my soldbody mando, but it’s a four string (not eight) so still wouldn’t sound right.
Through a telecaster neck pickup or a Gretsch it sounds excellent.
