Zoom A1 FOUR Acoustic Instruments Multi Effects Pedal Overview
Designed not just for acoustic guitar but for an impressive array of acoustic string and wind instruments, the Zoom A1 FOUR packs an incredible amount into a small format effects pedal. Onboard you will find dazzling effects to enhance your sound and explore new sonic territory with this amazing system designed with all of the following in mind:
- Acoustic Guitar
- Saxophone
- Trumpet
- Violin
- Harmonica
- Upright & Acoustic Bass
With over 80 built-in effects and a feedback filter (and a tuner, of course!), the Zoom A1 FOUR would be impressive enough, but included in that are dedicated effects for each of the instruments above. You can use up to 5 effects at once - in any order you want - and store your custom designed effects in any one of up to 50 patches for user-created settings. However, it doesn’t stop there. For acoustic guitar you have access to proper impulse response modelling of world-famous models of guitars so you can instantly re-create the sound of some of your favourite artists.
Just in case all of that creative potential wasn’t quite enough, the Zoom A1 FOUR also includes a 30-second looper and a rhythm generator that can be used in conjunction with the looper with 68 in-built patterns tailored for acoustic styles of music. The real icing on the cake is that the A1 FOUR works seamlessly with Zoom’s Guitar Lab Software to make it even easier to create, edit and manage all of your effects and patches.
The addition of the Zoom MAA-1 microphone adapter provides hassle-free connection to the A1 FOUR for both dynamic and condenser mics so lacking a pickup in your instrument need never hold you back.
