Boss Acoustic Simulator Review: Boss AC-2 VS Boss AC-3 Sound Comparison

Acoustic simulator pedal serves to change the sound of an electric guitar into an acoustic guitar sound.
For acoustic simulator users, you must be familiar with the names Boss AC-2 and Boss-AC3. Yes, these pedals are 2 products that are quite familiar from the many acoustic simulator pedals.
In terms of features, the 2 pedals are almost similar, but is the sound produced similarly similar?
Therefore, this time I will try to compare the sound of the two pedals.
So which one do you choose?

Maybe what you need is an AC-2 or AC-3, but above alla a TU-2 or TU-3 😀

I bought an AC2 over the AC3 based on forums, and this video explains why I made the right choice. Only one setting sounded good on the AC3 using a single coil, while almost all sounded good on the AC2.

AC-2 sounds way better and more natural to me.

Thanks for this video, really helped me decide. I much prefer the AC-2, it just sounds nicer and more natural, which may be because it's an analog pedal, whereas the AC3 is digital. Just a shame the AC2 doesn't have the built-in reverb, but I can get a cheap one separately anyway.

Just bought a used AC-2 based solely on price. It was a great buy. I'm using it on a mandolin with a humbucker pickup that sounds too electric. It's a very clean sound.

Thank you so much for the video! It was really helpful! The AC2 definitely better than the 3.

In case you're wondering if the recording does them justice, maybe I can help by stating that the AC-2 is one of the best (top 2) out there (for under recording studio cost). That, and the AC-3 is complete shite. I don't know what changes Boss made, but none of them were for the better in the AC-3. It took me all of 30 seconds to take the AC-3 off of my test board and to stick it on Ebay. Hope this helps!

Shouldn't you have compared EG out on the AC-2 to G. Amp out on the AC-3? I'm guessing that these are the two outputs meant to go to the elec guit amp. Or compare "output" on AC-2 to "line out" on AC-3. Are not these two meant to go direct to a PA? I would expect the different outputs to be EQ'd differently. Anyone else who has both can confirm?
