Description

The Donner APL Acoustic preamp pedal delivers a complete tone-shaping solution designed specifically for acoustic players. Featuring six IR body simulations, eight onboard effects, an 8-minute looper, auto notch feedback suppression and OTG recording connectivity, the APL enhances piezo pickups with more natural acoustic tone while expanding creative flexibility. A built-in tuner, intuitive controls and flexible I/O make it equally suited for live performance, recording or practice, giving acoustic musicians professional sound control in a single, stage-ready unit.

IR Body Modeling for Natural Acoustic Tone

The APL Acoustic features six built-in IR body simulations designed to recreate the tonal response of different acoustic guitar bodies. These impulse responses help restore warmth, resonance and depth often lost with standard piezo pickups, delivering a more natural, mic’d acoustic sound. Whether you're seeking fuller low end, clearer articulation or balanced projection, the IR section allows precise shaping of your core tone.

Eight Effects and Built-In Looper Expand Creativity

Eight onboard effects—including chorus, tremolo, phaser, overdrive, echo, hall reverb, plate reverb and delay/reverb—provide versatile sound shaping for acoustic performance. An integrated looper offers up to 8 minutes of recording time with unlimited overdubbing, making it ideal for solo performers, songwriting and layered arrangements. These tools create a flexible acoustic rig without requiring additional pedals.

Performance Tools for Stage-Ready Control

The APL includes auto notch feedback suppression to reduce unwanted resonance and maintain clean tone at higher volumes. A high-precision tuner with mute and bypass modes ensures accurate tuning during live performance. These performance-focused features help maintain clarity and control in real-world stage environments.

Flexible Connectivity for Recording and Live Use

OTG connectivity enables direct recording to mobile devices, making it easy to capture performances or create content on the go. TRS outputs, AUX input and headphone output provide flexible routing for stage, studio or practice setups. These connectivity options allow the APL to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of acoustic rigs.

Compact All-in-One Acoustic Performance Solution

Combining IR modeling, effects, looping and advanced connectivity in a single enclosure, the Donner APL Acoustic Guitar preamp, looper and multi-effects pedal delivers a streamlined solution for acoustic musicians. From rehearsal to stage to recording, the APL Acoustic provides reliable control and enhanced tone in a compact, performance-ready design.
