First Look: AFX Mini Series: AcoustiVerb, Pro EQ & Broken Record

Fishman AFX Mini Series: AcoustiVerb, Pro EQ & Broken Record Demos | First Look

Fishman's new micro pedals add scads of acoustic performance flexibility and a ton of fun.


Tailored specifically for acoustic guitars, Fishman AFX Mini Acoustic Pedals allow you to explore new textures, rhythms, and spaces without sacrificing your tone. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned player, experience the acoustic focused design of Fishman AFX Mini pedals and unlock the full potential of your acoustic sound.

AcoustiVerb

Three quality reverbs – Hall, Plate, Spring – are blended in parallel with your direct sound while preserving your acoustic tone. The Reverb Time knob controls how long you hear the effect, and ranges from short to very large spaces. Tone knob affects only the reverb and not your direct sound. Similarly, the Level knob adds the effect into your signal chain without overwhelming the sound of your instrument.

SPRING:
Recreates the classic sound of a spring type reverb found in many electric guitar amplifiers.
HALL:
An all-around reverb with natural, resonate spaces capable of replicating rooms both small and large, with long reverb decay times.
PLATE:
Recreates the dense reflections and metallic characteristics of mechanical plate reverbs used throughout the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s.

Pro EQ

Based on the highly-regarded Fishman Platinum series of instrument preamps, AFX Pro EQ Mini offers quality preamplification and critical equalization voiced specifically for acoustic instruments.

This is no off-the-shelf graphic EQ – plug in and your signal begins with a high-impedance instrument preamp to condition nearly any passive or active pickup.

Then, use the four bands of acoustic tone control to sculpt your bass, mids, treble, and brilliance.

A sweepable Low Cut fine-tunes the very low frequencies to reduce or enhance thumps and subs.

Finally, hold the footswitch to toggle your output polarity. Also known as “phase,” this simple circuit can tame low-frequency howl very effectively.

Broken Record Looper/Sampler

AFX Broken Record packs high-quality audio looping and sampling into a tiny, yet deceptively-simple stompbox package. It features intuitive one-button operation, endless overdub capability and offers easy transfer to a computer.

A single footswitch is all it takes to record, overdub, and play along with your coolest riffs and patterns.

Featuring high-quality 24-bit, 44.1kHz audio recording of up to 6 minutes, AFX Broken Record let’s you capture cool ideas and build on them, or even play along with pre-recorded audio you transfer from your computer.

Built-in memory will retain what you recorded even after the power is disconnected. So, you can unplug at your gig and transfer your loop to your computer later. This also means that the backing track you transfer from your computer will be ready and waiting for you to play back at your next performance.
