Boss Acoustic Singer Live Guitar Amplifier Overview:
Introducing the Boss ACS-LIVE Acoustic Singer Live Guitar Amplifier - the perfect companion for acoustic guitarists seeking professional-level sound quality and versatility in their performances.
Designed with the needs of live musicians in mind, the ACS-LIVE combines cutting-edge technology with Boss's renowned expertise in guitar amplification to deliver an exceptional acoustic amplification experience. Whether you're performing on stage, in the studio, or at intimate gigs, this amplifier ensures that your acoustic guitar's natural tone shines through with clarity, warmth, and presence.
One of the standout features of the ACS-LIVE is its dual-channel design, which allows you to connect both your guitar and microphone simultaneously. The dedicated guitar channel provides crystal-clear reproduction of your instrument's subtle nuances, while the microphone channel lets you amplify your vocals with exceptional detail and accuracy. With separate controls for each channel, you have full command over your sound, enabling you to dial in the perfect balance between your guitar and vocals.
Equipped with Boss's advanced Acoustic Resonance technology, the ACS-LIVE authentically reproduces the resonant characteristics of various acoustic guitar types, delivering a rich and natural sound that mimics the tonal qualities of high-end acoustic instruments. This technology eliminates the need for additional external pickups, allowing you to experience pure, unadulterated acoustic tones through a single amplifier.
The built-in effects section of the ACS-LIVE offers a wide range of studio-quality effects specifically tailored for acoustic instruments. From lush reverbs and dynamic chorus to harmonizing and intelligent vocal processing, these effects enable you to add depth, dimension, and a professional polish to your sound. With simple and intuitive controls, you can easily experiment and craft your own unique sonic landscapes.
For larger venues or when additional coverage is required, the ACS-LIVE comes equipped with a versatile stereo XLR DI output, allowing you to connect directly to mixing consoles or PA systems. This ensures that your performances are projected with pristine sound quality to audiences of any size.
With its rugged construction and portable design, the ACS-LIVE is built to withstand the demands of the road. Its compact size and lightweight make it an ideal choice for gigging musicians who value convenience and ease of transport without compromising on sound quality.
Mic Channel for Vocals and More
The Acoustic Singer Live also includes a dedicated mic channel, giving singing guitarists a compact, all-in-one amplification solution. A discrete analog input circuit delivers full, clear sound, and phantom power is on tap for using studio-grade condenser microphones. There’s also a three-band EQ, phase switch, and anti-feedback notch control, plus top-quality delay/echo and reverb effects to enrich your vocal sound. If you’re using the Acoustic Singer Live for guitar only, this channel can alternately be used to mic up your acoustic. For players that use advanced setups, it also works great for blending another amplification source installed in the guitar, such as a second pickup or an internal mic.
Automatic Vocal Harmonies and Looping
A standout feature of the Acoustic Singer Live is its vocal harmony function, which creates live harmonies as you sing and play guitar. It all happens automatically, so there’s no complicated setup needed. Your chord progressions are analyzed in real time, generating impressive harmonies perfectly tuned to the key of your song. And if you modulate to a new key, the intelligent processing follows along smoothly and accurately. Two different harmony types are available, plus a unison setting that doubles your voice for more impact. The amp’s built-in looper provides even more creative fun, allowing you to build live backing with guitar, vocals, effects, and more.
Advanced Connectivity and Control
The Acoustic Singer Live’s rear panel is well stocked for your interfacing needs. Dual DI/Line outputs are provided on XLR connectors, and each features a versatile mode switch for outputting both channels mixed together, or individual channels direct or post-effects. There’s also an aux input with level control, perfect for playing backing music from your mobile device. A USB jack offers a direct computer connection to a DAW, while the Rec/Phones jack provides a standard ¼-inch stereo connection for quiet practice sessions or recording to portable devices. Numerous jacks are also available for controlling the harmony function, looper, effects, and more via optional footswitches.
