I can't get a piezo for my Floyd guitars.
I remember a few years ago, there was a pedal out
called the acoustic or something?
Does it work?

???

Ok... Here's what I found.
Does this boss pedal sound good? Like an acoustic??

I have a Boss GT-8, and it has the functionality of several Boss pedals (Slow Gear, Harmonizer, etc) - the acoustic sim isn't great, but would be ok within a band/live context. It sounds a lot more like a piezo guitar than a 'in your face miked up acoustic' - but throw some verb and chorus on there and it would be ok.

That would be wonderful!!
Obviously, I'm just going to use it for my clean channel...
If I could hear a few lines without it and then click it on for a few more lines!
Thanx a million, strat!!

Seems like you're really having fun with that GT8. I've been thinking about getting one for some time now and all of your reviews/clips are helping the decision.

Ok... I'm holding you to this!!
Where's my clippy???

:wink:
 
The AC-2 works really well with a single-coil loaded guitar.
 
There's always the Rockman Acoustic Guitar Pedal...they have a very nice sound. Don't know if they're still in production though.
 
That's not too bad actually. Doesn't sound like a regular piezo though, but it's a good imitation.
 
behringer makes one, i got it new for 20 bucks.

Its not great but its not bad.
