I was looking to see a demo of the acoustic simulator played through electric guitar and at first glance I might have clicked the wrong video but this is exactly what I was looking for and thank you for presenting it the way you did😂❤ I was just thinking about the same concept how guitar players love to listen with their eyes. Thank you.

@@steveclark9934 thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you for the access to those IRs! Great tutorial.

Thanks for the video! I'm fairly new to using modelers and really appreciate your video tutorials. I have mostly just tried stock presets and tried to edit them to sound better to me. Your videos have helped me see that not creating your own from scratch leaves you missing out on the best part of the platform. I recently purchased an MX-5 and two FRFR 108s and found your channel shortly after. I have enjoyed your videos and trying out all the features as you explain them. I specifically could not get the acoustic sim to sound good to me so thanks for tackling that one! Thanks for sharing the files as well.

Thanks, Brian! Glad to know someone's getting something useful out of this, it makes it well worth it.

Ciao Alex! I wanna thank you for sharing this video, the only one that I found who really help me out with one of the biggest issue I had with my MX5, the acoustic simulation that I wasn't satisfied so far with the pedal. I manage to pull out a decent realistic acoustic strumming sound and I'm sure I will pull out a decent acoustic solo sound and maybe even a "Nylon string" simulation? Tomorrow I will tried out on the gig this sound for fine tuning on a live situation. Thanks again and have and keep rocking dude! Ciao!!!!

That intro scene was awesome. I thought you were setting the baseline for a comparison between a real acoustic guitar and the sim. You got me. Thank you for all your Headrush videos. They have been very helpful.

Thanks for this video info, I will tried soon this IR and your others combination of pedals. I've been trying for so long to get out a decent acoustic sound out of my MX5 but have not be able to get something really good other than to combine the Simulator with the clean electric sounds but still not quite convincing sound yet.... Thanks again! Ciao!!!

Thank you! If you mean doing everything in this video on an MX5 the process is 100% the same. If you mean getting more in depth with tweaking acoustic IRs then that's definitely something I'd consider diving into for everyone in the future.

Sounds pretty dang close for a Tele cosplaying as an acoustic.

Im interested in the univibe and rotary tones in the headrush.

The boss acoustic sims had a separate output to be sent to full range speakers when turned on. It was not ideally meant to be ran into a guitar amp for the acoustic sound.

Wow sounds great. I use a heavy humbucker guitar. Any recommendations?

@alexmansman

2 жыл бұрын

I assume by "heavy" humbucker you mean either really hot passive pickups or active pickups. You can start with my parametric EQ and tweak from there. You'll probably just need to carve out the extra mids (starting at about 750-800hz) and lower mids (about 350-40hz).

Hey Alex. I don't think you mentioned the para eq settings. Any chance you could let us know? Appreciate your videos & insights. Keep it up 🎸

Hello Alex, how do you know that the Headrush "Acoust Sim-Pedal" is supposed to represent the BOSS Acoustic Simulator (AC-3)? Is there a list that you can use as a guide? I would be very happy to hear from you. Thank you so much! Greetings, Matthias

@alexmansman

2 жыл бұрын

There is a guide available if you Google "headrush amp and effect models". It's a pdf someone made. But the reason I know the acoustic sim is the Boss AC3 is the graphic looks almost identical, the controls are literally the same, and there really aren't a lot of acoustic sim pedals on the market to begin with so it was all pretty easy to figure out

No problem! And yes, Pedalboard, Gigboard, and MX5 all have the same models in them

That Piezo acoustic simulator sound is almost exclusively used to blend with a clean electric guitar signal to simulate artists like John Petrucci of Dream Theater, and other metal artists like Polyphia.
