Acoustic Gig
A versatile all-in-one acoustic pedalboard solution for dynamics, tone, ambience, and live performance control.

• Complete acoustic signal platform with compressor/limiter, echo, reverb, clean boost, and semi-parametric 3-band EQ.
• Intuitive, stage-friendly layout with dedicated controls for each section—no menus or presets.
• Vintage-style echo with tap tempo and dotted eighth-note option, plus hybrid reverb voiced for acoustic guitar.
• Integrated tuner, global mute, phase shift for feedback control, and insert loop for flexible routing.
• Multiple output options: unbalanced ¼", balanced XLR DI with ground lift, and extra DC output for powering another pedal.

When we developed Acoustic GiG, the idea was simple: take the same straightforward, performance-ready approach we used for Quattro and apply it specifically to acoustic guitars. We wanted a single unit that could handle dynamics, tone shaping, ambience, and routing — without menus, presets, or guesswork.

Acoustic GiG is built as a complete acoustic signal platform. Everything is laid out in the order you actually use it on stage, making it fast to dial in and easy to adjust while playing.

We start with our award-winning Compressor/Limiter circuit. With dedicated controls for compression and level, we can smooth dynamics and add control without choking the natural attack and resonance of the instrument.

From there, the signal moves into our Vintage-Style Echo. With controls for level, tone, repeat, and tap tempo — plus a dotted eighth-note option — we can add anything from subtle rhythmic space to clearly defined musical delays that sit naturally behind the acoustic signal.

The Reverb section is an analog/digital hybrid voiced specifically for acoustic guitar. At lower settings it delivers a warm, spring-inspired ambience. As it’s pushed further, it opens up into a wider, more modulated texture that can add depth and shimmer without becoming artificial.

For cutting through a mix, we included a clean Boost capable of lifting the signal without altering tone or exaggerating piezo artifacts. It’s designed to stay transparent, even at higher boost levels.

To give precise tonal control, we integrated our well-known semi-parametric 3-band EQ directly from the Carl Martin 3-Band Parametric Pre-Amp. This allows us to shape bass, mids, and treble exactly where the instrument and pickup need it — not just with fixed frequencies.

To manage feedback, Acoustic GiG includes a Phase Shift switch, which often makes a critical difference on louder stages. We also built in a tuner and a global mute function, making the unit fully self-contained for live use.

On the rear panel, we included everything needed for real-world setups: standard ¼" input, unbalanced ¼" output, balanced XLR DI output with ground lift, an insert loop placed after the boost and before the EQ, and a 9V DC input with an additional DC output for powering an extra pedal if needed.

Acoustic GiG is designed to be a reliable centerpiece for acoustic players — whether on stage, in rehearsal, or in the studio.
