BOSS/AD-10 Acoustic Preamp Boss Acoustic Preamp
The AD-10 is equipped with 2 input systems that can be used in various situations. You can use it by switching between the input of a guitar equipped with two pickups such as piezo and magnetic, or between two connected guitars. The input gain and EQ can also be set appropriately for each input, and it is also equipped with a boost function that allows you to change the volume difference between pointing and stroke performances and the volume during solo performances with the touch of a button. The output is equipped with a stereo-compatible XLR terminal in addition to the standard jack. Since it is also equipped with a ground lift switch, it can be directly connected to the PA as a direct box. Also, the output is compatible with various situations, such as individual outputs such as pre- and post-input, and separate outputs for connected guitars.
The AD-10 is equipped with an acoustic resonance function that can reproduce the natural sound of a vivid, plump acoustic guitar lost due to pickup characteristics on a live stage. It is also equipped with a compressor using our unique advanced technology “MDP,” which responds to the range and intensity of the phrase and always provides natural playing comfort and sound. It's a next-generation compression effect that matches any acoustic guitar playing style. Furthermore, the internal parameters are intricately linked simply by turning the knob, and it is equipped with an ambience function that gives a high-quality spread while keeping the delicate sound of an acoustic guitar intact, and a delay/chorus familiar to guitarists, which demonstrates its power in making impressive sounds. Both effectors are high quality sounds optimized for acoustic guitar sounds. Also, in addition to the knobs on the panel, sub-parameters are provided inside the main unit. For example, in the “EQ” section, you can create special sounds, such as changing the MID Q, adjusting the tone of the booster function, and selecting the type and tone of the acoustic resonance.
As a howling countermeasure, which is essential for live performances, it is equipped with a reduction function that specializes in the bass range where howling is easy. There is little change in sound quality, and howling can be suppressed essentially by simply turning the knob. Additionally, it is equipped with 2 notch filters that can automatically detect howling points, and it is also possible to strongly remove howling. In addition, it also has a looper function that enables loop recording/playback of up to 80 seconds to enhance performance when playing and talking, etc., and real-time performance can be performed at any time. By connecting a foot switch or expression pedal to an external control terminal and assigning various functions, you can also customize the operation of the main unit to your own preferences.
The operation of the main unit is based on a simple manual mode where tone changes can be obtained in conjunction with the knob position, and a memory mode for retrieving up to 10 previously stored memories and playing has also been prepared. In addition, it has a built-in BOSS quality tuner that also has a MUTE function, so you can perform comfortable live settings, such as preventing sound leaks between songs and noise when changing guitars. The AD-10 is also useful for recording. If connected to a PC via USB, it also works as an audio interface, so you can create songs with good acoustic guitar sound. The power source is 6 x AA alkaline batteries, which can run for up to 6 hours. It is also compatible with AC adapters (PSA-100).
