Must own

Haman Rash 18.05.2018

Don't know where to start.
This product is actually a must for every Acoustic Guitar player.
It is very hard to complain about it and the goods in this product are just so much that i really cannot keep listing them down so it is much better to just check out all reviews on Youtube and read the specs.
Amazing product.
Solidly built.
The reverb isn't WOW like a Reverb pedal that you could buy, but it gives a simple nice natural reverb effect.
Other then that it is perfect.
Compressor, anti-feedback, delays, loop... all work just great.

Don't use with Yamaha Atmosfeel Pickup

Variachi 12.03.2025

I don't want to write bad stuff about this product, I love the brand and it's a good product.

But.

You plug in an Atmosfeel pickup (Yamaha FGX 5) and the resulting sound without any knob touched and with no effect on will sound like there's a phaser pedal on at minimum, and in general the tone will lose realism, by a lot, the guitar sounds worse than a cheap one.

I have other, simpler guitars with standard piezo pickups that I don't use much anymore (Seagull, Lag, Cort), and this AD 10 does a good job improving their sound, but with my FGX-5 it's much better not to use it at all.

Legendary Boss quality that you can rely on

Mombasaflash 15.03.2020

I pitted this against a Fishman Aura Spectrum. They are both excellent pre-amps for acoustic guitar. The Acoustic Resonance feature is designed to replace some of the frequencies lost with a dry piezo pickup and although this Boss AD-10 does not produce as finely detailed and complex a sound as the Fishman Aura, it is still extremely usable. It is also a LOT quicker to dial in a satisfactory sound and has the ability to save different setups that can be recalled much like any Boss multi-FX.

With the exception of the rather crummy reverb (one star removed), there is little to fault with this feature packed unit.

Boss Ad 10

Rugodix 13.02.2018

The new AD 10 comes with new features comparing with the old AD 8: a CHORUS, a DELAY and COMPRESSOR! (they can be used simultaneously). Besides, the Body Resonance is very effective in restoring the soul of a piezzo equipped guitar.The device is very powerful: 10 memories, 2 inputs for 2 sources (2 guitars, for instance), witch can be set individually (sensitivity, EQ). Add the possibility of sending to FOH a wet or dry signal, a USB output, the good sound, notch control, noise gate, tuner, even a basic looper, and you have a winner of the moment.
