Fishman

Effects
 

Fishman have been producing solutions for amplifying acoustic instruments since the 1980s, continually improving to give the musician the truest amplified tone possible. As a company Fishman don't pay artists for their endorsement and so the impressive (and very long!) list of users is there because their products deliver. We consider Fishman to be amongst the best available - not always the cheapest  but always value for money.
The effects pedals offer pristine sound quality and a wide array of usable effects  - these pedals really area step up from using standard electric guitar effects - also worth bearing in minde that they do work well with electrics as well. The Aura pedals  are a fantastic concep -taking the all too generic tones of most piezos and giving them some character and a sense of realism - probably not worth it for a couple of strummed chords at the beginning of a song but if the acoustic guitar is a significant part of your sound then these are a worthwhile investment.

Fishman AFX Chorus
Fishman AFX Chorus
Probably more realistically called a modulation pedal as it offers tremolo, phasing, flanging and rotary effects as well as 3 chorus settings. Obviously this is intended to give a more effected sound than the reverb pedal but what is on offer is useable and gives you the opportunity to creates some more interesting textures with the acoustic guitar. The speed control has a wide range allowing you to customise the presets and match song tempos. The tone control takes the effects from crisp and bright to warm and rounded depending on the effect you are trying to create. Careful use of the level and tone control can produce very subtle effects that enhance things and provide interest without detracting from the acoustic nature of your instrument. The pedal is 32 bit with 24bit stereo A/D conversion - the bypass is analogue buffered and subjectively, to us at least, very clean. This is a very quiet pedal with no noticeable noise at all. The pedal is housed in the standard AFX metal housing and runs off 9V battery

Fishman AFX Delay
Fishman AFX Delay
A superb clean delay with both analogue style and crisp clean on offer. The analogue style gives a more rounded sound with a bit of that magic warmth whereas the digital side is uncannily exact. You can do tap tempo with a separate footswitch and automatically get eighth, dotted eighth or quarter note rhythms. You can also hold loops by holding down the footswitch. The unit is stereo and has a 'pong' delay setting for the classic bouncing between speakers effect. Controls are time and repeats along with a (mix) level. The whole unit is mounted in the standard AFX metal housing and runs off 9V battery or supply. This is a great delay unit with up to 2.9s of delay and sufficient controls that you can get the most out of it. You can even set the unit for 'carryover' of repeats i.e. when the unit is switched out - the delays keep sounding.

Fishman AFX Reverb
Fishman AFX Reverb
The AFX Reverb is a stereo in/out 32 bit digital pedal (24 bit A/D converters) with analogue buffered bypass. The reverbs are well voiced and blend well with acoustic instruments and the bypass setting is nice and clean preserving the instruments tone. There is a wide range of voicings - room to canyon to suit all situations. The canyon setting works surprisingly well when mixed quite low! The reverbs can be varied from dark to bright with the tone control - especially useful with acoustic guitars in matching things to the overall tone of the guitar - a darker reverb can add warmth and a bright reverb can add a bit of life. The pedal can run off standard 9V input or battery (we would recommend a power supply) and is sturdily built with an all metal case. This is not the cheapest reverb pedal out there but it is extremely quiet, well built and well voiced for acoustic guitar and we think justifying its price tag.

REDUCED TO CLEAR DISCONTINUED
The Aura imaging pedals utilise digital algorithms to process the output from a standard piezo or soundhole pickup to give it the sound of a studio miked guitar. This sound is then blended with the output from the guitar to create a much more realistic acoustic tone. It takes a bit of work with you ear to set things up just right and it helps to match the pedal with your guitar but once you do, you will find the Aura hard to live without. Each pedal has 16 different 'models' to choose from so it is fairly easy to find something to match your guitar. The other controls are simple volume and blend (image and direct signal) with a phase switch for when feedback strikes and a trim control to optimise the input (essential as there is digital processing going on). The pedals run off 9V battery or centre negative power supply.

If you acoustic tone is important to you then you should try one of these - they are well worth the money. These pedals are also very effective in obtaining a good acoustic
