Zoom A2 Acoustic Effect Pedal
The A2 follows on in the tradition of previous Zoom pedals such as the 504, offering great quality acoustic guitar processing without breaking the bank. This pedal allows you to simulate different amp and guitar types, add effects and EQ, all utilizing Zooms newly developed 32-Bit processor chip. This ensures smooth and detailed signal processing, making the sounds available more realistic and responsive than ever. The processor can apply the sonic characteristics of guitars such as Martin’s D28, Gibsons J45 and Dobro’s model 27.
96 kHz sampling
The rich, detailed tone of an acoustic guitar is created by a delicate triple harmony of strings, neck, and body. Unfortunately, a piezo or magnetic pickup never captures the full body resonance, often resulting in thin sound dominated by the strings. This tendency can't be fully compensated with a conventional preamp equalizer.
The A2 series incorporates 24-bit / 96 kHz sampling and sophisticated sound modeling technology to process the line signal from the pickup, adding a lush body tone and the spatial ambience that is created by mic recording. Even when playing through an amplifier or PA speaker, the resonance of the guitar body is restored, allowing the natural acoustic sound to shine through.
Feedback control
A common when playing an acoustic guitar on stage is acoustic feedback (howling). The A2 could be what you’ve been searching for. The feedback control feature allows automatic or manual detection of the constantly changing feedback point, and an effective notch filter is then brought into action to provide the required attenuation. Auto detection can be triggered with the foot switch to allow swift reaction during a performance. As well as a feedback eliminator the A2 offers 3 types of chorus, 9 types of reverb and a flexible EQ to let you completely shape your tone.
