Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built for an acoustic guitar signal that needs more body and detail onstage, the AD-2 processes your playing in real time with its Acoustic Resonance effect. A single control sets its tonal balance, while the separate Ambience control adds reverb. Send the Output to an acoustic amp or monitor and the balanced Line Out to the PA. If low-frequency feedback appears, adjust the Notch control to remove the rumble.
