A good addition to an electric pedalboard, with a caveat

Silvio C. 02.04.2015

Have you ever happened to play a song that would have been great with an acoustic guitar, but space and time limitations only let you bring an electric and a small pedalboard? This is when the Acoustikar comes in handy.

Mooer is famous for making very good clones of famous pedals at a lower price and in little space. This small, yellow, Twinkie-shaped box colors the sound of your electric guitar to emulate either a standard dreadnought, a jumbo, or an electro-acoustic with piezo pickup. The controls are intuitive, the main one controlling the effect of the (simulated) top, notoriously the most important ingredient of the sound of the acoustic guitar. And I am happy to say that, with the Top control at 3 o'clock and the other two at 50%, even with all the limitations imposed by still going through an electric guitar amplifier the sound from my Yamaha Pacifica gets reasonably close to that of my Seagull mini jumbo.

Following the traditions of Mooer pedals, the Acoustikar is easy to use, light to carry, and solid to withstand the hardships of the stage. Unfortunately, among these traditions, there is also a rather infamous one: a noisy switch! Each time I engage the pedal, a loud PTUNK! comes out of the loudspeaker: which is not really nice, especially for the audience. You might thus want to put a pedal with a "mute" function (e.g., a tuner) after the Acoustikar in your pedal chain.

Not good

Jimmyrockali 12.01.2018

A well built pedal that has a lot of features (switchable modes, Level, body and top end controles) and does not make your guitar sound anything like an a acoustic. Just kind of makes it sound thin and unpleasant. Tried it with several guitars (Gibson Es-335, Fender strat/ tele) through several amps (both solid state and tube) and could not find any combination that would sound in any way usable. I also tried putting it through a D.I. box and it still didn't sound good. Just use an a acoustic guitar.

Pros:
-good build quality
-lots of tone shaping features
-bright LED

Cons:
-sounds horrible

Sound is surprisingly accurate

Anonymous 31.10.2016

Very good sounding device, you can tweak it in a way that it will sound really close to an acoustic guitar. Really good to play some loops

main con:
- if your clean sound is a bit distorted (even a tiny bit) this pedal will not sound like it should.

A good fake acoustic for an electric player

Liam2552 20.06.2015

This is great if you primarily play an electric but need an acoustic flavour for a few songs. I say flavour as it's very, very, passable in a mix but I wouldn't expect this to compete with the real thing.

It's got 3 modes: Piezo, Standard and Jumbo. The Piezo mode simulates the piezo pickup from an acoustic-electric guitar. Standard mode simulates a normal acoustic guitar. Jumbo mode gives you more low end and resonance by simulating a large bodied acoustic. It has a full metal casing making.The only downside I can think of is the micro toggle switch needs caution when a size 10 boot is in the vicinity.

Be careful with the top and body controls! Too much body creates a 'boomy' bass end and obviously too much top makes things very harsh.

I can't say how it compares to the Boss pedals since I've never played them but I believe they are terrible. Happily the Mooer pedal gives me enough tone and sound difference from my electric to create the illusion of an acoustic in the mix.

A great pedal that produces a quite passable /quite good acoustic tone for a player who does not want to carry another guitar or doesn't have one to bring to the gig.
