Acoustic guitar pre-amp/effects/eq box
I'm looking for the above. I've played with the Boss VE-08 and have looked at the owner's manual for the Boss AD-10.
Here's the wish list: EQ, feedback control, reverb, chorus, mute. That's it. The above, while loaded with features, menu's options, etc, are overkill for my simple wants. I already have a TC Helicon Singer 2 which is perfectly adequate for vocals. Want a simple acoustic box with all those features. My searches always come up with either the Fishman, which doesn't have the effects, or the AD-10 or VE-08 with the inherent complexity, weight, etc. Thanks Scott

That's way more than he wants. If the AD10 was too much, then the Stomp is way too much. And as a Helix and Stomp owner, the looper on them sucks.

button switch cures the looper issue. I dont use that function of the helix anyway. but your right it may be too much and not fit his "simple" requirement. although it is very simple. Much moreso than the ve8 which hes run. |

I've played two gigs with a Zoom G1Four. It is not expensive, heavy, or built like a tank. But it has 18 hours of battery life (nice for a 1 set festival gig) and just enough knobs to make the menu something you don't need to touch at a gig. For feedback control you would need to enlist one of its equalizers, but it does check all the boxes.

It’s hard to find the perfect multi-unit, I’ve been through a handful.
Have to say .. For the features and simplicity you are asking .. that Transit-A checks the boxes. Plus looks like a great deal. With 45 day return too. Can’t go wrong. |

No menus: ALL KNOBS. Easy to adjust and change on the fly, quickly. "EQ" is not only a 3-band EQ, but also the modeling tech (different guitar bodies) "Mute" is also the tuner. From what I gather, the feedback control is "automatic" on the unit, however you can also buy a footswitch for that feature. If you look around, you can find one alot cheaper than full retail price. I got one, new "open box", for very little more than the TransitA costs.

Another dude here loves this box and said he doesn't know why it doesn't get more love, sounds about right for the OP?

Look at the Fishman Tonedeq. Exactly what you are after.

Right, that "automatically" finds the offending frequency, like the "notch" control on many guitars/units (but apparently it finds the feedbacking frequency automatically?). Then with the added footswitch, this feature can be controlled remotely.
