In addition, all the AFX pedals have the unique Dual Path Routing via the two, TRS (Tip-Ring-Shield) In/Out jacks. All covered in the manual, two guitar amps can be fed the same signal without loss simultaneously at the same time using the AFX Pocket Blender ($119.99 MSRP). You can also set up two independent pedal effect chains on your pedal board by daisy-chaining them using TRS cables or use them like any other effects pedal.

The Fishman AFX AcoustiComp is an especially-designed compressor with dialed-in parameters normally found in studio compressors. The pre-set attack, release and ratio parameters are chosen for keeping an acoustic guitar's volume and overall sound steady and up front. This is a very smooth and natural-sounding finishing touch for any instrument--acoustic or electric. Loud, booming peaks are compressed down and at the same time, quieter phrases are brought up in volume. With more compression, the length of sustaining notes can be made to last longer.

I can recommend the Fishman AFX AcoustiComp especially for beginning guitarists who are learning to play dynamically for expressing feeling and emotion yet want to keep a more consistent level always heard on live stages or in the recording studio.

Another in the series Fishman AFX Mini pedals for acoustic instruments, the AFX AcoustiComp is $159 MSRP.
