HOTONE: OMNI AC Acoustic Simulator

I've gotta say that you guys are in for a treat if a reasonably priced, fully featured, great sounding and teeny acoustic sim is on your hit list. The OMNI AC offers most generic acoustic guitar types along with neat mandolin and bass sims as well. It's easy to use, has pretty much everything onboard that you'll need to use it anywhere - stage to bedroom - and it's a LOT of fun! It will turn an electric axe (as demoed here) into something acoustically convincing and it will hopefully inspire you to pursue some new musical directions. I like it!

WOW an acoustic sim pedal that actually sounds like an acoustic, and not just your electric with high end presence!

[antman]

I was very surprised… I’ve never heard an acoustic sim that sounded anything like an acoustic. This actually sounds very usable.

Brett is so Real. Even when he makes a mistake - he is so honest. Love your style brother. It actually Sounds really good - too.

[misutovi]

Wow, this is great. Best acoustic simulator I've ever heard!

[RadicalRadical]

You might not have a fancy backdrop but your pedal videos have been a deciding factor on 3 out of my 4 last pedal purchases in this last year. Thank you!

First simulator I've seen that actually approaches an acoustic sound. No-nonsense, absolutely top-notch review! Cheers Brett. I'm a-gonna subscribe.

This is far the best accoustic Simulator that I've heard so far. The Boss, Mooer and Behringer are not credible to my ears, although I like their sound as is. I thin you can eq as much as you want, but you still hear the thinness of the source, the lack of natural resonance and the sustain. I think you can get away with this pedal in a live situation. Thank you for this useful demo.

I was waiting for a 12 string simulation. Would be more useful than an upright bass.

[guramannen]

Way better than i imagined haha. Thanks alot for the demo

[stanstan]

Burgs ya got me again Man. I wanted a Nylon String for Afro Cuban Jazz. The Double Bass is
an added bonus. Nice job.

[markharwood]

Excellent demo of a tremendous pedal. Thanks.

[deluxairhead]

Geeeze Burgs that is most probably the best sounding acoustic sim I have ever heard nice work thanks dude !!!

Whenever I hear an acoustic simulator I always think of Alex Lifeson. This one would do justice on "The Trees".

[socom]

Very impressed, I think they nailed it. I need this for "The Rain Song" reasons

[michaelgrant]

Love these sounds, you make the electric guitar sound like a acoustic guitar

[fernandes]

Thanks for the review Brett. I gonna buy one right away.

[markferguson]

Gotta love when the simulation sounds more like the real thing than the real thing.Like this, or the Dirty Little Secret.
The bass sim is just crazy, maybe hit with a little vintage OD?

[YBNegative]

Your video sold me on this due to your exceptional ability to find the good in the product, then the world tilted before i made the purchase. Today I've returned when i got a sale alert to refresh my feeble memory and it reminded me that I should pay more attention here. Thanks for the video!

[alexanderguestguitars]

I like it. I need one. And I wasn't even considering buying one. Sounds really convincing and good.

[efxprecor]

I’m blown away listening to this! Rain song
