Easily dial-in studio acoustic sound on stage!

The Aura Dreadnought acoustic guitar Imaging Pedal uses Fishman's exclusive Aura Acoustic Imaging Technology in a familiar effects pedal format, finally allowing acoustic guitarists to easily and accurately reproduce the sound of their instrument as miked in a professional studio.

Easy to set up and use, Aura pedals eliminate intrusive stage noise and expensive microphone setups, allowing guitarists to achieve incredible recordings at home or in any live performance setting. Designed for use with guitars featuring undersaddle or magnetic soundhole pickups, this Aura Dreadnought Pedal is specifically designed for use with standard flat top and full size acoustic guitars.

The Aura Imaging pedal features 16 Images, selected from their vast online library to cover a wide range of the most popular acoustic guitar models. A deliberately simple and intuitive control set offers Volume, Blend, and Phase allowing simple operation at home or on stage.

Aura uses digital algorithms, developed in Fishman's audio labs, to create an image of the natural sound that microphones capture in a professional studio. This Image, when played through an amp, mixer, or PA, blends with your instrument's pickup to produce an immediate and dramatic improvement in your amplified sound.

For the highest audio quality, the Aura Acoustic Imaging Pedal features 24-bit A/D D/A and 32-bit internal processing, and runs on a 9V battery or AC power adapter.

The Fishman Aura Imaging Pedal looks great, too. It features the look of brushed steel top and bottom, and a black center section where the jacks are located.

I wrote a previous review on this and had to make some changes. I have been told only one or maybe two of all the presets will ever work w/ a particular acoustic guitar. Preset 13 works best w/ my Taylor 210e. This is the easiest way to get a great acoustic tone thru a PA w/o going overboard w/ 50 different effects on the way to the mixer if you're willing to shell out the money. I may still end up buying another someday, but for now, I don't play enough to justify it.

Fishman Aura will change your thoughts on live...

This one pedal will change how you do live acoustic. Anyone that plays an acoustic guitar live knows the difficulty involved in setting up a live sound. This little box will take the place of almost any mic setup that you would normally use on stage. To be able to get acoustic sound that sounds "real" is a rare luxury for the performing acoustic player. I paid full price after playing a demo for a couple of hours. I use it for every live moment that I need a "real" acoustic sound. I play a couple of high-end acoustics that sound fantastic on their own; it's been difficult trying to get the same sound when they run through a sound system. While the Aura will not give you the "exact" sound of a really good acoustic; it's the closest I've heard off a live stage. For the serious acoustic player, it will become indispensable for live. No more mic bumps; no more artificial "electro-acoustic" sound; no more sound "bleed" form everything else on stage... just great, uncomplicated acoustic guitar sound straight from the stage.

This little pedal saves me a bunch of set-up time. I go from my guitar to the Aura, right into the system with a DI box. Effects can be added as required (delay/ chorus, or whatever your taste). I play live about a hundred times a year; this thing is worth every penny. If you have a good acoustic, it will sparkle live. I have not tried it on a lower end guitar, but I suspect that it would provide more than small improvement for a lower end pickup.

Neat, but unnecessary

Excellent build quality. Very sturdy and tough. 16 presets - Preset #13 is the only one w/ a genuine usable acoustic tone and is a very good tone. The rest can be achieved w/ a cheaper EQ pedal. Very simple to use but not worth the price. Paying for a name IMO. It's going back.

AURA IS A GODSEND

Let me put this as simple as I can, The AURA is fantastic. I have been performing acoustic music for 7 years. Played over a 1000 gigs, and done live sound for many of the best acoustic players in the world. I say all to point out that I have spent a ton of time listening to, and working to acheive a good live acoustic guitar sound. Leo Kotke, Michael Gulezian, Willie Porter, David Wilcox, ect... have all brought really cool and complex, rigs to the stage and their guitars sound good. That being said I have never heard a guitar rig sound like an actual acoustic guitar. That is what the AURA does, it makes your plugged in acoustic guitar sound like an unplugged acoustic guitar. If you have gigged out enough, and you have ears, you know how hard that simple goal can be to acheive. Until now it has been an impossibilty for me. I have a highlander pick up in a Northwood Mini Jumbo, and a Larrivee Dreadnought with the same pick up. I also have Sunrise magnetic on both guitars. The AURA worked wonders on both guitars. I have a very chunky, percussive, style. Playing through the AURA I could actually FEEL the guitar. My body immediately changed its posture and movement when I played through the AURA. I felt like I was actually playing an acoustic guitar. That may sound dumb to some of you, but for me it's an amazing this to plug in and FEEL like I'm playing unplugged. Fishman deserves MAJOR kudos for this technology.

In all the gear I used over the years (lots) I have only written about two pieces. The D BOX from Dangerous Music, and The AURA. So thanks to FISHMAN for changing the way I feel and play live acoustically. You guys Rock.
