I
use this for Electric guitars mainly, but have also used it for a few
acoustic gigs also. I use this pedal to fatten up my Strat and Tele. I
have always had a problem switching from my Les Paul to my Telecaster.
I run stereo, and didn't want to fiddle with two amps when switching to
my Tele. It always sounded too thin and lacking output with everything
optimized for the Les Paul. I tried the Acoust-A-Boost, and it really
works perfectly for this application. First, I tried the Fulltone
Boost, but It colored my sound in an ugly way IMHO. The Acoust-A-Boost
is simply amazing, I have a hard time turning it off, because it makes
my Les Paul sound better too. I have been leaving it on, and just
boosting the Volume control, and cutting the Tone control just a bit
when switching to the Tele. The tone that this pedal produces is
nothing short of amazing! Oh yeah, it really is perfect for warming up
an amplifed acoustic guitar also.

Built
like a tank, Handmade with true-bypass. Very clean circuit layout, and
incredible craftsmanship. I have not had a single problem with this
pedal in over a year of gigging.

I
play a Taylor w/ fishman through a SWR California Blonde. Very very
warm sounding. It really adds alot of thickness to your sound. This
pedal makes you sound as if you are playing through a very expensive
tube preamp. You can also boost your sound if you want your solos to
stand out.
