Yes you can save those as presets and switch them as needed.

Has to be an Electric/Acoustic using a Acoustic pickup in the guitar.

Ariel seems like a nice guy,but the chemistry between mick and pete was awesome.And the fact that mick helped reign in petes manic nature is a plus

Mister Monsieur ? You will find him with Dan on That Pedal Show twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays. Don't think Mick is contracted to Andertons any longer, as he has other work demands.

I'm aware of That Pedal Show,being that I mainly play acoustic I really appreciated his take on acoustic guitars.Without mick pete seems very unfocused and to be honest it was mick who brought the info not pete

yep, but glad to see Ariel is back. At least we still have the pedal show for Mick. heck, they put out an hour or so vid a week.

For me it was either buying an acoustic amp, and then have to take two amps to gigs or get a Preamp/DI box. I chose the Preamp. Less stuff to carry, better sound and more control over EQ than plugging straight into the desk/PA. Then from the Preamp you can indeed run it to a PA or desk, and then back to a monitor for example. Hope this helps :)

Yes Pete, but do you use this pre-amp?

Not this particular one, no. But I don’t reckon that makes a big difference to answering the kind of “general” question. If it does, forget what I said in my first reply.

Thanks, just curious, as one who is continuously on the search for the "Holy Grail" for live acoustic guitar sound :-). At the moment and for the last ten or so years I've been using an Orchid Pre amp www.orchid-electronics.co.uk/acoustic.htm) . Although I have tried the Fishman Aura, TC Acoustic Live and various other cheaper boxes, actually none have come close to the Orchid for producing a mic'ed up guitar but that doesn't stop me looking. Obviously the Orchid doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the others. I use a TC Helicon Harmony G for vocals and that does the trick, but it would be good to get an "all in one" pedal that has the quality of the Orchid. Great review Pete, as always

I see. But that’s a whole other question. I’ll tell you my (live) situation. Because obviously studio sessions are totally different as you can use as many mics as you like in a room without a band playing and having to worry about any bleed in the mics/ feedback and stuff. I go acoustic > pedalboard > Fishman Aura Spectrum DI > balaced/xlr out to desk (> to monitor, so I can hear what I’m doing and how I sound). Through pedalboard so I can use my effects, I don’t use them a lot, but sometimes some come in handy like the Wah in some songs or a bridge, use some delay for a solo, or recreate a room or hall with some reverb, accentuate stuff with a BOOST!! or overdrive, but mostly I play clean with a hint of reverb. Then into the Aura Spectrum DI. To really use this to its fullest capacity they have these “images”. Now, according to Fishman, what they did was; in their studio they miced different guitars (bodies, ie dreadnought, jumbo, nylon) with different mics you can choose from. There are litteraly dozens and dozens of these Images. Note that these are not made to change your guitarsound or replicate sounds. For example you plugin a nylonstring guitar and set the image to twelve string, it doesn’t make your nylon to sound like a twelve string, that doesn’t happen. But what it does, and this is pretty clever, all guitar types have their own unmistakable character (in the EQ as well) and fishman recorded them with different mics. So like the warm and deep dreadnought or big sounding jumbo, the crispy clear orchestra (or “OM”) and so on. And then you can add that particular character/ respons/ EQ handling/ image or whatever to your sound using the blend knob to taste. So connect the device to your computer and find the image CLOSEST to your guitar, recorded through I mic you like, choose on of the 12 slots to put it on. And now you can blend it in! I blend it to probably a max of 40% and I believe it to work really well. Doesn’t change my sound in a huge way. But it gets a warm, roomy, natural sauce so to speak as if there is indeed a mic on your guitar. Well, the tone hunting journey... it’s endless. I’m kinda satisfied now. But I might want to change everything next week. Taste changes, so does technology, gear, knowledge etc. I’m good for now. Anyway; I’m a lot happier than I was plugging directly in the desk, or carrying two amps. So whatever works for you, works. There is a sound coming out, which is useable for me, fo me. Hope this helps a bit. ✌🏼

Yes, you can.

you can eq each channel independantly and it will be saved next time you turn on the unit but saving a preset only saves the global eq not on the independant channel level

Thank you..

Carmine Anastasio It's a Sigma. I don't know the model. JM something. The ones I've seen have been more basic design but I like his a lot.

Tyler Chatham Thank you Tyler. After your reply, I found it is the Sigma JR-SG.

Carmine Anastasio I went and looked too to confirm. I want one

This pedal is not designed to be plugged into a electric/tube amplifier... This is for acoustic guitar and to be plugged into a PA system, PA speaker or acoustic guitar amp such as the Boss Acoustic singer pro the boys are using in this video. Hope that helps.

Thank you!

Paul Stubbs I bought one for gigging duties. Found accessing the body Rez settings in the pedal a pain in live situations. For gigging I’d recommend the separate harmoniser and body Rez pedals (or better sounding PreAmp) for quick, easy adjustment. Not sure of the benefit of the single unit....I sold mine after a short period.

Interesting as I originally started with a TC Harmony Singer (which I loved too) and then decided to go for the one pedal rather than buy the separate Body Rez. So for me I guess the harmonies are the key and the Body Rez is slightly secondary. So I generally just stick the Body Rez on a setting (usually 3 or 5) that sounds good and then maybe EQ it with the guitar or amp. The bonus of having it all in one unit with a tuner/looper with a simple and flexible set up is really the icing on the cake. Although I've been a big BOSS/Roland fan for a couple of decades I think the TC products are more superior in this field. Would be interesting for Danish Pete to do a review.

I'd like to see this too, and some sort of comparison with the Boss VE 8.

Yeah I actually posted this on the wrong video, should have been the VE-8 review (must have had both open at the time) which I thought was poor by Anderton standards. Not really testing either the guitar or vocal effects just bumbling round the controls and messing about. Still, since found this other review from another guy who does a fair job. Worth a watch. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJuBa9qp1c6RXac.html

Thanks Paul, good effort! I'm leaning towards the VE 8 but i'm keen try this AD 10 thing.

Looks like one of these www.andertons.co.uk/epiphone-de-luxe-classic-f-hole-masterbilt-century-series-archtop-acoustic-in-vintage-natural-etd2vnnh1

Actually they have that sunburst model in the sale £100 cheaper :)

paramediccpo no the small black cable on the left when they show the deck is for power. I think.

Eugene Jefferson yes bro my point is they need to make something of this standard that is battery powered...

It's got a space for 6 x AA cells and it will burn through them in about 6 hours, depending on use, according to Boss. The power supply is necessary, I'd say.

Totally agree. It sounds horrible

Yeah .... UK Tax and import kills the price on most things.

I can sometimes use that sound in a mix, but yeah, I guess I don’t hear a true acoustic guitar in action. It reminds me of the sound I get with the built in Fishman on my ancient Norman...I like the tone of my cheap passive sound hole pickup more for a pure acoustic sound. I have too many loopers🤣

taylor intro sounded like a rusty frog fart

Shit!

It also accounts for the saying "Never look a gift horse in the mouth." It was considered an insult to test the quality of the gift in front of the giver. Of course, everyone would look later.

Taylor's ES2 pickups system is widely considered one of the best that are made. Baggs, Fishman, K&K, etc... are all great but the ES2 is right up there with them. The problem is that most of these units are made for steel string guitars and not classical's. I think that is the basis for the tonal discretion you're hearing.

Sam Dowty I'm not sure we can compare ES2 or other USTs (barring highlander and carlos) with magnetic pickups, transducers, mic systems, or any combinations thereof. All I'm saying is, there have been many reviews of quite expensive gear on Andertons, and still not one acoustic pickup that faithfully reproduces sound of the guitar, or comes close. I love my takamine cool tube, which sounds better than these two guitars, but it is still a UST.

But would it sound better in the same environment, with the same playing, through the same cable, into the same interface, using the same DAW as them? And your right about comparing transducers vs other types of acoustic pickups and mics but the reality is that these types of processors are designed to help the "quackyness" of transducer pickups. There is a level of audio gear where the idea of "better" becomes completely subjective. It's all about what you do, where you do it, and how you do it that determines if something is "better" for you and what you do.

I agree with you Sam on the subjectivity and perception and these being the tools for most of us who play with the shortcomings of piezzo USTs. However, all these reviews make it seem like there is only one way and only one type of sound we should just resign to. The reality is also that there are now many players who use magnetic pickups and transducers and mics and their sound is different, and in many cases, better. Not perfect, just less quaky, more depth, easier to play, easier on the ear. It shouldn't be too hard to temporarily install baggs m80, or fishman rare earth, or k&k meridian mic, etc. and just do a comparison. Even with great players like Ariel and Pete it's a struggle to play these guitars the way they play Duesenbergs, and definitely a struggle to listen. Again, at Andertons, where electric guitars and amps can cost as much as a decent car, why would you settle for low level acoustic sound signal path processing and amplification.
