Notable Features
Four acoustic simulation modes: Standard, Jumbo, Enhanced and Piezo. Body and Top controls independently shape the resonance and high-frequency character, while the onboard reverb adds acoustic-style ambience. Separate Line and Guitar Amp outputs allow the simulated acoustic signal to be routed directly to a PA, mixer or acoustic amplifier while retaining flexible guitar-amp routing.
