The Zoom AC-2 is a surprisingly capable little box for acoustic players. It's a great all-in-one solution for gigging musicians needing a preamp, EQ, reverb, and a DI out—especially those using piezo pickups who want to add some warmth. It's a solid value for the money, providing a lot of functionality in a small, portable package.
