Amazingly Cheap! Plastic Fantastic! - 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! Review: Makes a piezo pickup sound far more natural - 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. ## Features - Responsive pedal faithfully reproduces every saturated nuance of a tape echo machine ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000KITQK2 | | Batteries | 1 9V batteries required. | | Color Name | multi | | Color Screen | No | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (952) | | Date First Available | 1 January 2024 | | Item Styling | Tube | | Item Weight | 458 g | | Item model number | ADI21 | | Product Dimensions | 5 x 10.01 x 12.7 cm; 458.13 g | | Voltage | 9 | ## Images ![Behringer V-TONE ACOUSTIC DRIVER DI ADI21 Amp Modeler/Direct Recording Preamp/DI Box, Burgundy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vnI4pxcFL.jpg) ![Behringer V-TONE ACOUSTIC DRIVER DI ADI21 Amp Modeler/Direct Recording Preamp/DI Box, Burgundy - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jfHX4BdIL.jpg) ![Behringer V-TONE ACOUSTIC DRIVER DI ADI21 Amp Modeler/Direct Recording Preamp/DI Box, Burgundy - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61saMwPJzCL.jpg) ![Behringer V-TONE ACOUSTIC DRIVER DI ADI21 Amp Modeler/Direct Recording Preamp/DI Box, Burgundy - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SIxAsH21L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly Good!
