The PX4A contains Body effects that model the resonances and vibrational character of great acoustic guitars. Aspects such as guitar construction and body size are modeled in painstaking detail for numerous guitars, ranging from famous brands of the past through today's leading-edge manufacturers. The direct sound from piezo pickups can tend to have a sterile character, but the PX4A's effects add the distinctive warmth of resonating wood that is typical of an acoustic guitar, producing an extremely rich and natural sound.

The effects of the PX4A extend beyond the conventional boundaries of the electric-acoustic guitar to include models for resonator guitar, a newly developed banjo, and nylon-string guitar ? you can play a wide variety of acoustic sounds using just a single instrument. There are also mic? effects that simulate the sense of space and depth achieved by mic?ing an instrument. With the PX4A, mic?ing techniques that require years of experience and knowledge can be easily utilized by anyone, delivering superbly rich acoustic sound even when using a line output. There are also numerous other effects, ranging from standards such as compressor, limiter, echo, delay, reverb, and chorus, through distinctive effects such as a twelve-string effect that reproduces the sound of a twelve-string guitar, and even a drone effect that simulates the drone tones of ethnic instruments such as a tambura. With a virtual infinity of possibilities that still preserve your natural acoustic sound, the PX4A is the ideal choice for anything from home recording to live performance.
