The pedal allows you to connect your mic and your guitar at once, and is designed to offer a useful combination of tools for live acoustic performance such as multi-FX, pitch correction, and feedback control.
The Play Acoustic offers high-quality vocal effects that can be used in a live or practice setting. These effects include tone controls, vocal harmony, HardTune, reverb, double, delay, μMod, and more.
