    This acoustic simulator effect allows electric guitar players to simulate the sound of an acoustic guitar without having to carry one around. The effect circuit is based on the Woody acoustic simulator by Mark Hammer and uses controls to manipulate the body resonance ("Lower" control) and higher frequencies ("Upper" control). Revision 1.1 of the circuit board includes noise filter capacitors. It provides instructions on building the circuit, including a bill of materials and tips on soldering the potentiometers to avoid shorts. The trimpot adjusts the highpass filter tone. The acoustic simulator can be used for playing acoustic guitar portably or to add brightness to an electric guitar sound.

    AC-Sim V1.

    1
    Switch your electric guitar to acoustic mode!

    Overview
    This acoustic simulator enables you to play acoustic guitar without carrying one around (That is when you do carry a
    electric guitar with you – of course  )

    General
    The effect is based on the well known Woody by Mark Hammer. All credit for this great circuit goes to him.

    The “Lower”- control manipulates the body-resonance and the “Upper”-control the higher frequency band for string
    attack and such.

    Rev 1.1 of the board has the noise filter caps included.

    Building
    Start populating resistors and diodes first, then IC sockets and trimpot, last do the capacitors.
    The board mounted pots need to go onto the other side of the board. Use
    some (double-sided) tape to make sure the pot cases do not shorten any
    pins that come through the board. As you solder them it is good practice to
    apply some solder to the middle pin first, then pull it back approx. 1mm and
    let it harden. Then solder the other pins. This will align the pot horizontally in
    a better way and avoid shortcuts of the wide pot pins and the board.

    Don’t forget to clip of the small bracket before you mount the circuit.

    The trimpot is there to adjust the highpass filter.


    You will need a certain level of signal to generate the right harmonic content. Depending on your pickup this varies.
    Just dial in the nicest sounding tone.

    Finally
    Playing acoustic guitar without the need to carry one around is what the Ac-Sim can be used for. Also you can use it
    as a “brightener” for your general electric sound.
