COSM Acoustic Modeling
<blockquote>
Nothing beats the sound of a fine, miked acoustic, but budgets and
feedback issues often force musicians to use a more affordable
electric-acoustic instrument with often thin-sounding piezo pickups.
Thanks to the AD-8’s innovative COSM Acoustic Modeling technology, you
can transform your ordinary acoustic guitar into one of six high-end
guitars like Martin and Gibson—a world’s first! The AD-8 even
simulates the popular “miked acoustic” sound via its Body and String
Enhance controls.

Flexible Tone Editing
<blockquote>
The AD-8’s high-quality reverb effect was designed specifically for
acoustic guitar. The reverb can be adjusted to create anything from a
slight touch of ambience all the way to rooms and halls—perfect for
adding spaciousness to your sound. And with onboard 4-band EQ, you can
shape your tone to suit any style of music or venue.
</blockquote>
A Live Performer’s Dream
<blockquote>
Designed with the stage musician in mind, the AD-8 offers several
convenient features for performance, starting with an onboard tuner
based on BOSS’ acclaimed TU-Series. Just click the pedal to mute the
guitar sound and tune up while referencing the LED display. Onboard
memory lets you store your favorite settings and switch between them
instantly, while Auto Anti-Feedback eliminates embarrassing feedback.
</blockquote>
Professional Connections
<blockquote>
In addition to unbalanced stereo outputs and a dedicated Electric
Guitar Amp output, the AD-8 comes with a pair of XLR outputs. These
balanced stereo outputs are true DI-complete and include a ground lift
feature for eliminating hum. They’re the perfect way to connect to a
PA system or to professional recording gear. With the BOSS AD-8,
you’ll sound great whether on stage, at home or in the studio.
