【Voltage Compatibility】
When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.
【Plug Type】
Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type).
Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.
【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】
A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device’s requirements.
A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage.
Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.
【Liability】
We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.

The sound of an acoustic guitar is made up of a complex interplay of various elements, including the body, top plate, strings, and playing method. The AD-2 thoroughly pursues this warm acoustic sound with complex resonance characteristics. By controlling the amount of resonance, this preamplifier can add a vivid, natural sound as if you were playing an acoustic guitar right in front of you, to the hard sound characteristic of piezo pickups. Just by turning a single knob, you can control multiple parameters that are intricately intertwined to achieve the best acoustic sound. From delicate fingerpicking to dynamic strokes, you can perform any style with the best sound quality.
A wide range of sounds is an element of a high-quality acoustic guitar sound. However, reproducing this sound on stage requires the advanced skills of a PA engineer. It is also necessary to control howling, which tends to occur with acoustic guitars. The AD-2 is equipped with a dedicated notch filter that controls only the frequency range that causes howling while minimizing timbre changes, ensuring the natural sound of an acoustic guitar.
The AD-2 is equipped with a natural ambience tuned specifically for acoustic guitars. Obtaining beautiful reverberation while preserving the rich reverberations of an acoustic guitar requires extremely complex settings. Like acoustic resonance, a single knob controls numerous internal parameters that are intricately linked. With simple operations, you can reproduce the high-quality spaciousness of studio quality.
In a typical acoustic guitar stage setup, the guitar signal is split into two outputs using a DI box. One output goes to the guitar amp, the other output goes to the PA. The AD-2 is equipped with a LINE OUT jack that allows direct balanced connection to a PA, and its tone is custom-tuned for line output. BOSS collaborated with numerous guitarists and PA engineers to create a new line sound that is optimized for both parties.
It provides an ideal line sound with a well-balanced overall balance that coexists with natural resonance and core piezo sound. Additionally, if feedback occurs on stage, you can use the notch filter function to deal with it. Feedback can be easily removed by simply turning the NOTCH knob. You can reproduce natural acoustic guitar sounds in a variety of live situations.
