Transform your acoustic-electric guitar's sound with the Behringer ADI21 V-Tone Acoustic Preamp. This compact yet powerful pedal is engineered to breathe life into piezo-equipped instruments, offering a rich, natural tone that mimics the warmth of tube amplifiers. Whether you're aiming for the perfect unplugged sound or need a reliable DI solution for live performances and studio sessions, the ADI21 delivers versatility and precision.

At the heart of the ADI21 is its proprietary microphone/tube emulation circuitry, which infuses your sound with warmth and depth, overcoming the often thin and brittle tonal quality of piezo pickups. The 3-band EQ with sweepable mids provides you with detailed tone-shaping capabilities, allowing you to dial in the perfect sound for any environment, from intimate venues to large stages, while effectively managing feedback.

The intuitive Blend control is a defining feature, empowering you to mix the modeled tone with your guitar's direct output, achieving the ideal balance between natural acoustic sound and enhanced warmth. With dual DI modes, the ADI21 can function as a standard active DI box or a sophisticated amp modeler, giving you flexibility in both live and recording scenarios. Plus, its high input impedance ensures that your signal retains its integrity and dynamics.
