It is made for performers and recording musicians who need a direct connection to a PA, acoustic amplifier, mixer, recording device, or headphones. Its 16 source-guitar presets provide selectable tonal starting points for different acoustic body styles and instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the pickup setting for piezo, magnetic, or off, then use the single Volume control to manage the preamp input gain and output level. A three-band EQ provides bass, middle, and treble adjustment for adapting the final sound to a room, amp, or sound system. The Reverb control adds adjustable depth and width without requiring a separate effects pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AC-2 is suited to solo performers, acoustic guitarists, nylon-string players, 12-string players, and upright-bass users working with pickup-equipped instruments. Its selectable source types include dreadnought, orchestra, jumbo, parlor, resonator, silent guitar, upright bass, and nylon-string options. This lets players begin with a preset intended to complement the physical character of their instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor stage use, the pedal includes a footswitchable boost with up to 9 dB of additional gain and an anti-feedback function that searches for and cuts a feedback-causing frequency band. A chromatic LED tuner is built in, and engaging the tuner mutes the output for quieter tuning. The low-noise preamp specification lists a 120 dBu signal-to-noise ratio and a -100 dBu residual-noise floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AC-2 can be placed between an acoustic guitar and an amplifier, PA system, mixer, or recording setup. Its balanced XLR output includes selectable pre\/post processing and ground-lift functions, while two 1\/4-inch outputs support mono or stereo connections. It can operate from the included Zoom AD-16 adapter, two AA batteries, or USB bus power through its Micro-B USB port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16 Source-Guitar Presets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selects a tonal profile for varied acoustic body styles and instruments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Selector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optimizes the input stage for piezo or magnetic pickups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Band EQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjust bass, middle, and treble to suit the system and room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Feedback Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Locates and reduces a feedback-causing frequency band during performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFootswitchable Boost:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds up to 9 dB for solos or changing playing dynamics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced XLR Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect directly to a mixer or PA with pre\/post and ground-lift switching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AC-2 uses a compact pedal-format enclosure measuring 158 mm deep, 107 mm wide, and 52 mm high.
