TC Electronic BODYREZ ACOUSTIC PICKUP ENHANCER Ultra-Compact Acoustic Guitar Pedal for Acoustic Pickup Enhancement with Studio-Quality Tone and Feedback Suppression

I am a gigging musician in an indie rock band, and I alternate between my Telecaster and my Takamine electric-acoustic guitar, played through my electric guitar tube amp. I play acoustic guitar through the same pedal-board that I use for my electric guitar. So for this setup, I have had a nightmare of feedback problems in the past. I’ve tried to solve the feedback problem in many ways, including using an equalizer pedal, and a soundhole cover for the guitar (check out Lute Hole brand, they’re awesome.) But my feedback problem was never quite licked until I got my Body Rez pedal; and played it at a show last night. There was no feedback because of the phase inversion mode (green/red light mode.) That is the primary reason I sought and bought the pedal. However, the little magic knob on the pedal makes your acoustic guitar sound truly excellent. It seems to me that turning it all the way up brings in a deeply rich low-end bass that isn’t prone to feedback, because of the phase inversion. I found the sweet spot right about 12 o’clock, in combination with my equalizer pedal and everything else I have my sound running through, and my acoustic guitar sounds exactly how I want it to sound. For live performances, this pedal is amazing. This pedal has allowed me to get my acoustic sound up to the standard and functionality that I’ve been seeking and needing for a long time. Really, really nice pedal. I assure you that you won’t regret buying this pedal.

This little guy is nothing short of amazing.For years, I used a multi-fx unit to make it easy to switch between acoustic and electric guitars. The trade-off is that neither sounds as good as it could. Now I play almost all acoustic, though, so I wanted to simplify and optimize my stage rig for the best possible acoustic tone. Chain is now a Boss TU-3 tuner >>> BodyRez >>> Keeley Vibe-O-Verb (for fingerstyle stuff). The BodyRez AC adapter powers it all.My main performance guitars have Fishman Matrix Infinity pickups, which are reliable and feedback resistant but prone to the dreaded "piezo honk." The BodyRez does a great job of mitigating that, and generally gives me a more natural-sounding tone through the PA. It's noticeably fuller and crisper, with more punch on the low end.I also feel like I have more dynamic range. We don't have a drummer, so my rhythm playing has to fill that role as well. With the BodyRez in my chain, I can get more snap on palm muted riffs, and full-on open-chord strumming sounds rich and full.To get a feel for how to set the level control, I recorded the same rhythm riff back to back eight times: dry, and with the knob at seven different positions. Then I played them back, picked the one I liked best, and set the knob to that. I haven't touched it since.We use in-ear monitors. A nice side benefit is that my guitar sounds better to me in the IEMs with the BodyRez vs my old rig.You're still better off with a good condenser mic for recording. But for on stage through a PA or full-range amp, BodyRez is fantastic. Highly recommended.

I hesitated for many months before buying this pedal. Although I read all the favorable reviews, when I watched reviews online where people actually played their guitars through the pedal I really couldn't hear much difference - maybe due to small computer speakers? - I don't know. I initially bought an equalizer pedal to fill out the gaps on my amp's equalizer. This did improve the sound a fair amount. Finally, the reviews won out and after confirming that I could return the pedal if I didn't like it, I went ahead and bought it. Believe me: trust all of the excellent reviews! I have a *very* inexpensive guitar that I use for playing regular gigs with a trio. The pedal makes this guitar sound far better than my bandmates' guitars that cost 15 times as much! I also have a fine Taylor guitar with the ES2 system that I use for solo gigs. It rounds out the Taylor's sound beautifully as well. I no longer use the equalizer pedal. I could not be happier or more impressed with what this pedal does for my sound. If you have a guitar with a piezo pickup, I can't imagine you being less than pleased with this device. It's well worth trying, and like me, you'll probably decide never to play without it again!

It's not a fair comparison. For the money this adds a little to my sound. Martin SC-10E. Fishman Loudbox mini amp. I was hoping to use this for my portable pedalboard due to it's small size and reasonable price. It just doesn't do that much for me. I can almost dial in a similar sound by turning up the EQ on the amp. Returning. If you have the space and the budget, check out the Fishman TONEDEQ.I am now, NOT returning it. I'm keeping it because it adds a lot to the sound of my newly acquired, Coolmusic 80 watt battery powered amp. I was going to return both, but using them together makes a nice portable set up. If you are doing this, you need to add a USB to 9v adapter to power this pedal from the amp. It works great. No noise. Bottom line. If you have a vanilla sounding amp, this pedal adds enough to make it worth keeping. If you already have a decent or better, acoustic amp, it will not really add much.

Was looking for an acoustic guitar effects pedal, hard to find, did not want just a chorus or delay. I wanted something to give some depth. I was recommended to try this product by Behringer, which I use Behringer exclusively for my PA system. I bought it, and it isn't an effect per say, however, gives the acoustic-electric Taylor guitar a more natural acoustic sound while still getting the PA plug in sound. I do enjoy this pedal and would recommend for acoustic performers playing live.

Brinda mucho cuerpo al sonido de mi Taylor, contento con la compra de este pedal, se nota la diferencia al tocar en vivo, lo recomiendo
