Detail 01
Acoustic simulation, not amplification
It changes the tone of your electric signal. It does not add volume or replace a preamp for a real acoustic.

BOSSAC-3 Acoustic Simulator Effects Pedal
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
BOSS compact pedal that reshapes an electric guitar toward acoustic tones. For electric players who need acoustic sounds without carrying a second guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging players covering one or two acoustic songs per set
- Worship and cover bands with fast song-to-song switching
- Writers who want an acoustic texture while tracking on electric
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who owns an acoustic and can bring it
- Players wanting distortion, overdrive or time-based effects
- Bassists and keyboard players — it is voiced for guitar
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
2.87 x 2.17 x 4.92 inch enclosure
Standard BOSS compact footprint, slightly shorter than the distortion boxes, so it fits existing board slots.
Detail 03
0.97 lb
Heaviest of the compacts by a hair, which mostly means it stays planted when you stomp it.
Detail 04
Works from a magnetic-pickup electric
Results depend on your guitar and pickups; single coils and humbuckers land in noticeably different places.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Budget for a 9V supply or battery and two patch cables
- 02Best results come running direct or into a clean, flat amp
- 03Place it before drive pedals — distortion after it undoes the effect
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this make my electric sound exactly like an acoustic?
No. It gets you into acoustic territory convincingly in a band mix, but a solo, exposed part will still read as a simulated tone.
02Can I use it with an acoustic-electric guitar?
It is designed for electric guitars with magnetic pickups. Running a piezo-equipped acoustic through it works against what the pedal is doing.
03Does it work into a regular guitar amp?
Yes, but use a clean channel with flat EQ. Amp voicing colored for electric guitar will fight the acoustic character.
04Where should it go in my chain?
Early, before distortion and modulation. Anything that adds gain after it will pull the sound back toward electric.
