Using the AG-Stomp
●Setting the Mic Simulator
The Mic Simulator is a specially designed circuit that adds to an electric/acoustic guitar, the special charac-
teristics created when miking an acoustic guitar. It adds the airiness, which is found when a microphone is
placed in front of the guitar’s sound hole. The Mic Simulator is useful when your guitar is connected directly
to a mixer or recorder via a line, or when listened to through a pair of headphones for practice, etc.
The AG-Stomp provides the eight different Mic Simulator settings described below. The Mic Simulator creates a
stereo image by simulating two microphones positioned in front of the guitar but “aimed” at different angles
toward the guitar. Use the MIC TYPE Select Switch to try out some of the different microphone simulation types.
The BLEND knob is used to adjust the volume balance between the signal after it has passed through the Mic
Simulator (MIC tone) and the signal before it has passed through the Mic Simulator (DIRECT tone). Rotate the
knob fully to the left to hear only the DIRECT tone. Rotate the knob fully to the right to hear only the MIC tone.
Also, pressing the [SHIFT] button to enter the SHIFT mode (the SHIFT lamp flashes) lets you use the
BLEND (stereo) knob to adjust spaciousness of the sound produced by the Mic Simulator’s two micro-
phones. Press the [SHIFT] button again to exit the SHIFT mode and the lamp will turn off.
*In the SHIFT mode, if a knob is not rotated after five seconds, the mode will be exited automatically.
Simulates microphones positioned
close to the guitar.
*Mic Simulator settings are stored in patch data (MIC TYPE Select Switch Settings).
*When the Volume and Tone controls are set to high, the signal may clip inside of the AG-Stomp. In this case, decrease the guitar’s
volume, or adjust the AG-Stomp’s VOLUME, individual Tone Controls or individual Effect knobs. Also, if feedback occurs, please
use the Feedback Reduction Function described on page 16.
