AX3A Acoustic guitar modeling pedal

Beschrijving

The new AX3A electro-acoustic model makes it easy to enjoy high-quality acoustic sounds.
The AX3G/AX3B are extremely popular among guitarists and bassists for the high quality sound, superb ease of operation, and flexible parameters that they pack into a compact body. This series is now joined by the AX3A, a dedicated model for electric-acoustic guitars. It provides a wide range of effects powered by “REMS” technology, including mic and body effects optimized for acoustic sounds, letting you transform the sometimes sterile-sounding output of a piezo pickup into a natural and mellow tone, and making it easy to perform with a wonderfully detailed acoustic sound. There’s a built-in notch filter effect that cuts the point at which acoustic feedback occurs, giving this unit wide usefulness not only for practicing at home, but also for recording and in live performances.

Features
43 different “REMS” modeling effects inherited from the AX series.

10 mic & body effects that replicate the micing setups of experienced professionals and provide many types of acoustic guitar sounds.

Notch filter effect that lets you cut the frequency point at which acoustic feedback occurs.

You can store 40 programs containing the sounds you create using the modeling effects. Together with the additional 40 preset programs, this gives you access to 80 programs for immediate use.

Each effect provides full editing that rivals dedicated units, for a high degree of sound-creating flexibility.

Auto chromatic tuner with mute function.

Two-way power supply lets you operate on batteries or using a separately sold AC adapter.

You can connect an optional EXP-2 foot controller or XVP-10 expression/volume pedal and use it as a volume or wah pedal.

Completely covers all the effects you need for acoustic sound
The AX3A contains a wide-ranging variety of effects powered by “REMS” modeling technology and taken from the AX series. In addition to compressor and limiter, and the other standard effects you expect, they include several types of stereo chorus, spatial-type effects such as echo, delay, and reverb, as well as unusual and distinctive effects such as a drone effect that adds a tamboura-like drone to your playing. You can create a wide variety of your own sounds without impairing the natural tone of your acoustic instrument.

Faithful simulation of professional micing techniques captures the body resonances of high-quality acoustic guitars
The built-in body effect simulates the body resonances and sympathetic vibration of famous acoustic guitars. Covering instruments that range from classic brands of the past to cutting-edge models, the modeling meticulously recreates the sonic characters arising from differences in guitar construction and body size. The output of a piezo pickup, which sometimes sounds cold and lifeless, can be given the distinctive woody richness and resonances that are distinctive of an acoustic guitar, producing a highly natural and mellow sound. Unique types such as resonator guitars and nylon-string guitars are also included, letting you play an incredible variety of acoustic sounds from a single guitar. There are also mic effects that simulate the depth and spatiality of sounds recorded through a high-quality condenser mic. Professional micing techniques that require years of experience and expensive equipment can be easily experienced by anyone using the AX3A, delivering top-flight professional acoustic sounds even through a direct line connection.

80 programs (40 user / 40 preset) for immediate use
Up to seven different “REMS” modeling effects can be used simultaneously, and internal memory will accept 40 programs you create using these effects. Another 40 preset programs covering a wide range of styles are also provided, giving you 80 programs for immediate selection.

Notch filter effect lets you cut the frequency point at which acoustic feedback occurs
The AX3A contains a notch filter effect that is exactly what you need to combat acoustic feedback. You can use it to quickly and precisely cut the precise frequency point at which feedback is happening, ensuring that you’ll be able to perform with the best possible sound.

Full editing with sound-editing flexibility that rivals dedicated units
Each effect type provides a rich array of parameters rivaling even dedicated units. The optimal parameter values are automatically chosen when you select an effect, making it easy even for beginners to get the best possible sound. The most important parameter for each effect is accessible as the “main parameter” with direct access immediately after selecting the effect. Additional “sub-parameters” are also provided, giving you more detailed control of your sound, all with a simple and intuitive interface that lets you create and control your sounds easily and understandably.

Auto chromatic tuner and additional support functions
The AX3A contains an auto chromatic tuner, so you won’t need to provide a tuner separately. It has a mute mode that lets you tune without producing sound from your amp or other connection destination, making it easy to tune on stage. You can connect an optional expression pedal to the AX3A and use it to control wah or volume for an even broader range of expressive possibilities. In a compact size that easily fits into the pocket of a gig bag, and the convenience of battery-powered operation, the AX3A is the ideal way to obtain top-quality acoustic sound in any situation, at home, in the studio, or on stage.
