From the AC-2 to the AC-3: The Logical Evolution for Amplified Acoustic
The Zoom AC-3 continues the legacy of the AC-2, with the same philosophy: offering an improved DI and a quality preamp to restore credibility to the sound of an amplified acoustic guitar. Where the AC-3 goes further is in its "stage and studio" approach: a complete unit combining preamp, equalization, dynamic control, anti-feedback, and an effects section designed to enrich an electro-acoustic guitar without altering its nature.
Result: a pedal designed for those who want a consistent sound from one gig to the next, with quick and effective settings, and the ability to switch from natural to more creative tones in seconds.
Who Is It For? An Essential Tool for Live Acoustic and Powerful in Recording
The Zoom AC-3 is aimed at the acoustic guitarist who plays plugged in: singer-songwriters, folk, pop, variety, worship, accompaniment, voice-guitar duos... but also those who alternate strumming and picking and want to maintain a consistent level in the mix. The compressor and 3-band EQ facilitate adaptation to each venue, while the anti-feedback secures sensitive stages (close monitors, high volumes, small venues).
On a pedalboard, the AC-3 can become the heart of the sound: it can feed a console via its balanced XLR outputs, power an acoustic amp via the 6.35mm Jack outputs, or serve as a clean front-end for an audio interface to record a sound that is already "finished" with minimal post-production.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Zoom AC-3 suitable for a guitar equipped with a piezo pickup?
The pickup selector offers piezo and magnetic positions to adapt the processing to the system installed on the guitar. The 6.35 mm jack input has an impedance of 10 MOhms and a nominal level of -20 dBu.
How to avoid feedback with this acoustic pedal?
The anti-feedback function automatically detects and reduces problematic frequencies. This feature is useful with close monitors or at high volume.
Can the AC-3 be connected directly to a mixing console?
Two balanced XLR outputs L and R allow connection to a console in mono or stereo. The XLR L output has a pre/post selection, and the XLR outputs include a switchable Ground Lift to limit ground loops. The 6.35 mm jack outputs L/Mono and R can feed a line-level sound system.
What effects are available on the Zoom AC-3?
The effects section includes tremolo, reverb, delay, and stereo chorus. A 3-band EQ, a compressor, and a footswitch-activated boost up to +9 dB complete the processing.
Can the pedal be used with headphones or a footswitch?
The L/Mono/Phones output on a 6.35 mm stereo jack accepts headphones, with a power output of 8 mW + 8 mW at 32 ohms. The control input is compatible with the optional Zoom FS01 footswitch.
