Behringer V-Tone Acoustic ADI21 3-stars Reviews

Good product, not worth the effort

I have used this product for several years as a solo performer, especially in bars and pubs.

It's well made, cans tan up to a few knocks and offers a range of useful audio features. If your acoustic doesn't have a built-in preamp, this is really useful for shaping your sound without having to fuss with the sound board or PA. For home recording it offers a good buffer for acoustic sound, especially if you're going DI.

There are a couple of caveats, however. This is obviously subjective, but in my use as a performer I find it awkward to set up and use. Unless you're going to set it on a pedalboard, with an independent power supply, getting it situated in your performance space is a pain without having cables all over the place and it doesn't do all that much to boost your passive pickups thorugh a PA (which is what I bought it for). Changing batteries is a bit inconvenient also.

I'm sure there are plenty of good applications for this, and plenty of people who would love it, but for my needs it just doesn't quite fit the bill.

Ok, Worth the money

But if you got a few bob to spend get something better.

ok, A little noizy. nothing special about this.

Useful DI Box, average EQ

It's nice to have a DI box, but regarding the EQ don't expect to get an amazing tone on your acoustic guitar.

I use it on a G series Takamine electric-acoustic to plug it directly in the PA during gigs. It does help to have a bit of extra EQ than the basic settings of my guitar but I don't get an amazing acoustic tone either.

I also use it for my bass sometimes just as a DI box, it works well that way.

It's a cheap alternative to an acoustic guitar amp.

fine

like almost all beringer it isn't obvious as to how to use it I have however got it on my peddle board now and will experiment for the price I know it will come in useful
