The Boss AD-2 Acoustic Preamp is a dedicated preamp pedal for acoustic-electric guitars, offering tone-shaping designed specifically for piezo and other acoustic pickup types rather than adapted electric guitar circuitry. It provides EQ control, a boost function, and anti-feedback processing aimed at giving acoustic performers cleaner, more natural amplified tone on stage.
The NuX NAP-5 Stageman Floor Deluxe is an acoustic guitar preamp and DI pedal built for stage and studio use, offering acoustic-specific tone shaping alongside a direct-out connection for feeding a PA or recording interface. Part of NuX's Stageman series, it targets acoustic performers wanting a dedicated, feature-rich floor unit for professional-quality amplified acoustic tone.
