Boss AC-3 Acoustic Simulator Pedal

“Authentic, Versatile, and Compact”

Advanced Acoustic Modeling for Electric Guitarists

The Boss AC-3 is a compact acoustic simulator pedal designed to transform your electric guitar tone into rich, realistic acoustic sounds. Powered by BOSS’s advanced COSM modeling technology, the AC-3 offers four distinct simulation modes—Standard, Jumbo, Enhanced, and Piezo-equipped—each tailored to replicate the tonal characteristics of different acoustic guitar types.

With dedicated Top and Body controls, players can fine-tune the virtual resonance and brightness to match their playing style. A built-in reverb adds natural ambiance, making the AC-3 a powerful tool for both live performance and studio recording. Whether you're gigging with a single guitar or layering textures in a mix, the AC-3 delivers convincing acoustic tone without the need for an actual acoustic instrument.
