Boss AC-22LX Acoustic
Boss · amplifier
The Boss AC-22LX is a compact acoustic guitar amplifier featuring Air Feel technology — a revolutionary system that simulates professional studio microphone placement techniques including XY, AB, ORTF, and mid-side stereo configurations. Rather than simply amplifying the pickup signal, the AC-22LX processes it through mic simulation modes to recreate the natural, three-dimensional quality of a properly miked acoustic guitar. Two channels handle guitar and microphone or line-level sources with independent EQ and reverb. Onboard rhythm box and looper extend the feature set for solo performance. At 22 watts with stereo speakers it targets home playing, acoustic house concerts, small coffee shop gigs, and singer-songwriter performance where natural acoustic tone is the priority.
