Behringer DI ADI21 V-Tone Acoustic Driver

superb DI for any semi acoustic guitar, boosts up the tone of guitar, many settings, sturdy.

This a pretty nice DI/ pre-amp pedal for acoustic guitar, especially at this price point. It’s well made and seems sturdy enough to withstand the rigours of regular use. The controls make a very perceivable difference to the sound, and make the guitar tone cleaner. However, with the blend turned all the way up, there’s a slight crunch to the sound, which I actually do like. It’s like a poor man’s acoustic Overdrive. The tone shaping possible through this pedal is quite considerable. Highly recommended for amateur acoustic guitarists.

Nice device. Improves the tone of a semi acoustic guitar to your preference. Reduces the harshness of a Piezo acoustic guitar and brings the tone closer to a natural sounding mic'd guitar. It also acts as a DI Box. Can plug the Balanced output directly to the Mixer of PA system and the unbalanced output to an Amp or monitor simultaneously. Body is not metal, but tough plastic. So need to be handled with some care

Its a best pedal if you want top quality acoustic sound like proffesionals go for it

Really useful pedal

Not working any product from BEHRINGER

Amazing DI best for the Price and EQ pedal for Acoustic / Electric / Violin / etc ..

Received gdi21 inside box of adi21.. this is ridiculous

I had initially been looking into purchasing either a dedicated acoustic amp or an amp with an acoustic channel. I then stumbled across the Behringer range of foot pedals, and which included the V-Tone. Because of the ridiculously cheap price combined with a plastic construction, I was somewhat sceptical that it could be a worthwhile purchase. After all, this £20 device (purchase price/date £21.48/02:03:2021) is in direct competition with those costing three figure sums, and made of metal to boot, not withstanding the even more costly, dedicated amps. However, the relatively small financial outlay (and standard "returnability") made its purchase a virtual "no brainer". Experience gained from the very recent purchase of other Behringer pedals meant that I already knew the plastic construction would not be detrimental, as it is of a robust, high density, heavyweight variety. The performance didn't disappoint either. The documentation comes with some helpful settings preferences for a number of user scenarios such as "Folk", "Country" and "Finger Picking", and which can be used as time saving starting points that can then be fine tuned/customised. I found the audio results to be nothing short of stunning, but you will need the right type of amp and a piezo equipped guitar to get the best "acoustic" results. Your amp needs to be either clean or have a clean channel as this (or any other similar) pedal will, in true "silk purse" fashion, struggle, strain and ultimately fail to wrangle an acceptably authentic acoustic sound out of any "unclean" amplification. Nevertheless, there are many impressive non-acoustic sounds that can be produced by enjoyable experimentation, and you can easily get your acoustic guitar to really rock! This pedal is now happily daisychained with three other pedals (all Behringer as it happens), and are all, thankfully, audibly totally unaffected by its inclusion. One word of note. I have not tried any other alternative pedals, but if one produces results any better than the V-Tone, not only would I be truly amazed, but paying two, three, four, five times the price might just be worth its metal! Addendum: Since writing the above review (which was within hours of receiving the V-Tone) I have discovered a couple of noteworthy points, the first of which might already be common knowledge to more experienced users. 1. If powering by battery, when not in use, never leave a jack plug in the "In" socket because whether or not the pedal is in the "on" depressed position, your battery will be drained "flat"! There is reference to this in the accompanying documentation, but didn't notice. Consequently, having set up and put aside a new four-pedal chain, replete with fresh batteries, I later discovered, on its next outing, that all but the first pedal was "dead" (first pedal had guitar jack plug removed). 2. When removing V-Tone from the velcro covered pedalboard (so as to access the underside battery compartment), the pedal's rubber base started to become detached, and so will have to be reglued. Closer inspection indicated that it had not been particularly well secured, but is a problem that cannot affect my other three pedals as their design doesn't incorporate an additional "base" material! Should really deduct a star, but am so pleased with the sound and general functionality that it seems a bit churlish. Any additional problems, though, and there might be star carnage!

Great product. Eliminated the quack from a piezo under saddle pickup and made it sound way more natural. Also adds considerable gain. You can dial in the sound you want with the parametric midrange eq. Very low price for a great sound enhancement.

Semplicemente un prodotto ottimo ad un prezzo eccezionale. Al contrario delle recensioni che parlavano di qualcosa di "plasticoso", io ho trovato il prodotto resistente. Ovvio che non è acciaio ma qualcosa bisogna pur sacrificarlo per tenere questo prezzo ed io sinceramente preferisco stare un po' più attento ma non sacrificare la qualità del suono. Inoltre, chi dice che non fa nulla, o ha problemi alla chittarra o all'ampli o a entrambi: consiglio di provare alcune impostazioni consigliate nel manuale. Ci sono varie regolazioni a seconda del genere: io ho imppstato su "jazz" e appena acceso ho sentito subito un suono più morbido, meno "stridulo" e più equilibrato. Questo prodotto non è fatto per stravolgere il timbro ma per migliorarlo, intensificarlo - non è la stessa logica degli effetti a pedale. Visto il prezzo non si può che aggiungerlo alla propria pedaliera e imparare a conoscerlo, magari provando prima tutte le regolazioni consigliate nel manuale.

Hace más natural el sonido de mi guitarra electroacústica al conectarla.

I used this product playing live with my mandolin and it is fantastic. Warms up the sound nicely and controls feedback. It also sounds great with an acoustic guitar. All this for a very affordable price. Thanks!
