The natural companion for any modern singer-songwriter, Play Acoustic
combines all the things you need to make a live acoustic performance
shine; lavish vocal sounds, perfect backing harmonies, best-selling
guitar FX, and unique processing that makes your six-string sing – in
perfect harmony with your voice.
- Professional Vocal Effects and Tone with natural sounding Vocal Harmonies guided by your guitar
- Guitar FX styles from TC Electronic’s Hall of Fame Reverb and Corona Chorus pedals
- BodyRez™ filtering and onboard EQ and DI for impeccable acoustic guitar tone
- Guitar feedback-proofing with notch filter and phase controls
- Separate vocal and guitar outputs, or a stereo mix of both
Keep your vocals clean with a tight reverb or simple harmony – or go all
out with tasty delays, thick doubles, edgy hardtuning, cool
modulations, and raw distortions – the choice is yours. Best of all,
we’ve improved the portamento and humanization of our renowned harmony
effects, making your tireless two-singer backing group more realistic
than ever. And don’t worry about setting the key. Play Acoustic follows
your guitar chords automatically for harmonies that stay in tune and in
time.
Equipped with our trademark Adaptive Tone, Play Acoustic acts as your
personal sound engineer providing the one feature no singer should be
without: automatic intelligent control of Compression, EQ, De-essing,
and Gating, giving your voice the impact and presence to always stand
out in the mix.
Your acoustic guitar is both a powerful and delicate instrument, and
we’ve made sure that Play Acoustic treats it with the respect it
deserves. Tailor-made guitar FX from our sister company TC Electronic
add a sweet touch of magic with essential styles from their bestselling
TonePrint pedals – Hall of Fame Reverb and Corona Chorus – while the
direct Guitar DI output ensures signal fidelity all the way from pedal
to PA.
The sound of resonating wood is what gives an acoustic guitar its
particular sonic allure, and this is where BodyRez™ comes in. New and
unique to Play Acoustic, the BodyRez algorithm restores acoustic tone to
guitars fitted with undersaddle pickups. Carefully placed filters and
fast acting compression combine to reduce “piezo-quack”, making your
amplified guitar sound like the beautiful full-bodied instrument it is.
Dial in as much or as little BodyRez as you need and use the handy EQ
controls to fine-tune the dynamics of your sound.
Operating and navigating Play Acoustic is as straightforward as it
gets. Use the Up/Down footswitches or central knob to easily browse
factory presets, or use the GENRE button to find styles that you like.
Dedicated VOCAL FX and GUITAR FX buttons let you access effects
directly, and the intuitive user interface makes editing simple and
fast. Create your own library of presets with the FAVORITE feature for
easy “setlist” recall.
Separate mono XLR outputs for vocals and guitar makes it painless for
any sound engineer to mix the levels perfectly for your audience, or
you can set the output to Stereo and create your own custom panoramic
stereo mix.
HIT is a performance-inspired feature for building intensity into any
vocal performance. Press the HIT button to turn on multiple effects at
once and create quick A/B scenes for each preset. Use it to add dazzling
vocal effects for the chorus, or strip it down for the verse – it’s
your call.
The VLOOP™ performance looper allows you to create complete guitar and
vocal loops for solo jamming or impressive layered live performances.
VLOOP is also handy for soundcheck; record a short phrase and walk out
into the audience to check levels while your “virtual you” plays!
In-Ear Monitoring
Use the embedded RoomSense mics to pick up the sounds from the room,
the stage, or the instruments around you and add ambience to your
headphone mix when performing or practicing. Optionally, our handy Guitar & Headphone Cable facilitates inexpensive in-ear monitoring with a convenient twist: two signals, one cable.
Sing Along with Vocal Cancel
Singing along is a great way to practice and perform. Plug in your
MP3 player via the AUX In connector and use the Vocal Cancel feature to
make your voice stand out over the vocals on the original track. You can
also record and play back your singing using the USB connection to your
computer and DAW.
Free Preset Downloads
Fire up our VoiceSupport app for access to hundreds of additional song and effects based presets as well as firmware updates and the latest news.
More Control
Add the TC-Helicon MP-75 or Sennheiser e 835 fx mics with Mic Control, or the Switch-3 footswitch for additional control of performance, effects and looping.
