[Product Description]

・The AD-10 is equipped with two input systems that can be used in a variety of situations. You can use the input for a guitar equipped with two pickups, piezo and magnetic, or switch between two connected guitars. Input gain and EQ can be set appropriately for each input, and there is also a boost function that allows you to change the volume difference between finger-pulling and stroke performance, as well as the volume during solo performance, with a single button. In addition to the standard jack, the output is equipped with a stereo compatible XLR terminal. It also has a ground lift switch so it can be connected directly to a PA as a direct box. In addition, the output can be used in a variety of situations, such as separate outputs for pre and post inputs, and separate outputs for connected guitars. ・The AD-10 is equipped with an acoustic resonance function that allows you to reproduce the raw, full, natural sound of an acoustic guitar on a live stage, which is lost due to the pickup characteristics. It is also equipped with a compressor that uses our proprietary advanced technology ``MDP,'' which responds to the range and dynamics of phrases and always provides a natural playing feel and sound. This is a next-generation compression effect that matches any acoustic guitar playing style. What's more, with the simple turn of a knob, the internal parameters are linked in a complex manner, creating an ambience function that creates a high-quality spaciousness while retaining the delicate resonance of an acoustic guitar, as well as delay/chorus, which are familiar to guitarists, and are useful for creating impressive sounds. Both effectors have high-quality sounds optimized for acoustic guitar sounds. In addition to the knobs on the panel, there are also sub-parameters inside the main unit. For example, in the "EQ" section, you can change the Q of the MID, adjust the tone of the booster function, select the type of acoustic resonance, adjust the tone, etc. to create your own particular sound. - Equipped with a reduction function that specializes in the low frequency range where howling is likely to occur, as a countermeasure against howling, which is essential for live performances. There is little change in sound quality, and howling can be effectively suppressed just by turning the knob. In addition, it is equipped with two notch filters that can automatically detect howling points, making it possible to powerfully remove howling. There's also a standby looper function that allows you to record and play loops of up to 80 seconds to make your performance more colorful, such as when you're playing or singing, so you can perform in real time at any time. By connecting a foot switch or expression pedal to the external control terminal and assigning various functions, you can customize the unit's operation to your liking. - The main unit's operation is based on a simple manual mode that allows you to change the tone in conjunction with the knob position, but there is also a memory mode that allows you to recall and play up to 10 pre-saved memories. It also has a built-in BOSS quality tuner that also functions as a MUTE function, allowing for comfortable live settings by preventing sound leakage between songs and noise when changing guitars. The AD-10 is also useful for recording. If you connect it to your PC via USB, it can also function as an audio interface, allowing you to create songs with high-quality acoustic guitar sounds. Powered by 6 AA alkaline batteries, it can run for up to 6 hours. Also compatible with AC adapter (PSA-100).
