The tone of the acoustic guitar sometimes gives comfort and sometimes brings intense emotions. The vibe of being “unplugged” has always been part of rock music, and the loudest band from the Seattle grunge days made the unplugged sound legendary on MTV. Not only for classical style music, the acoustic guitar is also for rock and blues guitarists, especially with alternative and folk styles. For rock guitarists, having acoustic chops and sounds are a must. Animals Pedal brings it forward with an all-in-one solution called the Firewood Acoustic D.I. MK II – an active DI pedal for both acoustic and electric guitars that can be the hub of your pedal rig onstage and for recordings/practice sessions. Manufactured with discrete analog circuits to keep your organic tone and delicate tonal expressions, the FADI can output your sound faithfully to both mixers and amplifiers. Simple and compact, we put in an expertly voiced three band equalizer that can be adjusted to help your sound mix with the music easily. You can turn the EQ on and off with the footswitch. The FADI has a warm and balanced tone that will complement guitars like nylon string acoustic/electrics, and can add shimmering high end ethereal tones that sound great with vocals and full band gigs. The three bands are centered on important acoustic guitar frequency bands, with a boost/cut of +/- 15db at 3.5khz, 800hz, and 180hz for HIGH MID and LOW controls. These bands are effective not only to enhance the tone but can be used to control low and low-mid feedback by cutting those frequencies onstage or for recording. The GAIN control is active when BOOST ON, and can add light saturation to the tone, giving you more power, crisp edges, and authoritative presence to your acoustic guitar sound in the mix. Around the left side of the FADI is an effects loop, where you can put other effects like chorus and delay at the same time when using an acoustic guitar or as a boost pedal. The balanced output XLR can easily send your signal to the mixer directly with a great signal for the sound engineer. You can power the Firewood Acoustic DI directly from 48v phantom power if you wish, which can be helpful on small or outdoor stages where there might be a shortage of outlets. If you power the FADI with an adapter, it is equipped with a DC OUT jack so you can daisy-chain power your other pedals easily. The Firewood is not just a functionally superior pedal. The sound of the high-headroom discrete analog circuitry creates an authentic and organic acoustic guitar sound. You can also dare to crank up the gain for a more edgy and rocky “electric/acoustic” style sound without unwanted harmonics and sounds. The FADI will always deliver warm and deep acoustic guitar tones in every detail. Even on the live stage, the Firewood can deliver a tone close to the sound of an acoustic being recorded with a microphone in the studio. Get your acoustic game together with Animals Pedal Firewood Acoustic D.I. MK II.
