Behringer ADI21 V-Tone Acoustic
Behringer · pedal
The Behringer ADI21 V-Tone Acoustic Driver combines an active DI box with proprietary microphone and tube emulation circuitry specifically for piezo-equipped acoustic-electric guitars, addressing the thin, harsh quack many acoustic pickups produce when run directly into a PA or interface without shaping. A three-band EQ with adjustable mid frequency and a blend control let players dial in a more natural, mic'd-acoustic-guitar character, while quarter-inch and gold-plated XLR outputs plus a ground lift switch make it equally useful for stage and studio direct-recording situations.
