Go Acoustic Without Dropping a Single Cable
The AM100 is a compact effects pedal that accurately simulates an acoustic guitar on a standard electric guitar. This Behringer product has been designed to compete head to head with leading products on the market. * 'Unplug' instantly with a simple stomp of a pedal! The flexible 4-mode switch lets you choose between authentic acoustic simulations: standard, large, piezo and bright. Two individual outputs enable easy switching between electric and acoustic guitar sounds when using 2 separate amps. They've included a status LED for effect On/Off and battery check, and you can run your AM100 on a 9 V battery or a DC power supply (not included). For absolutely noise-free operation, a first-class electronic On/Off switch is integrated.

I'll be using this product until I get good enough to either 1) buy an actual acoustic guitar (space is an issue in my home though) or 2) upgrade to one of the "Top Shelf" acoustic modelers
Sound
I get a nice, twangy, steel guitar acoustic sound on my Schecter Omen-6 with this box, especially when going through the acoustic amp modeler of my Digitech RP50. The downside is it can generate a lot of hiss when using too much "effect". I'll need some sort of noise reducer to compensate.
Features
Comes with 4 acoustic styles - standard, large, piezo and bright - but the difference between the four is, to my ear, rather subtle.
Ease of Use
Easy to use. Play with the knobs until you get the sound you like! The "acousticness" pretty much all comes from the Enhance knob anyway. NOTE - THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IS LOCATED UNDER THE PEDAL. And it's a pain to install. Be careful, this procedure can break the pedal!
Quality
The plastic appears solid and sturdy, but the clumsiness in which they concocted the battery compartment really puts a damper on the quality component.
Value
For 30 bucks, you can make your cheap electric guitar with its cheap amp sound like a cheap acoustic guitar. Who can beat that?
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to call them, but at least they provide phone numbers with the product.
