Fishman has announce that they are shipping some interesting pedals designed for acoustic guitar players. These pedals, the AURA Imaging line, are made to enhance the sound of any pickup used to amplify and acoustic guitar. These pedals use digital processing with 24-bit A/D D/A and 32-bit internal processing. They can be pwered with a 9V Battery or AC adapter.

These effects are intended to be used onstage or in the studio to simulate the sound of a proffesionally miked acoustic guitar. There are six different flavors of the AURA Imaging pedal each tuned for the six major types of acoustic design: Dreadnought, Concert, Orchestra, Jumbo, Nylon, and 12-String.

Here is what Fisman has to say about the pedals:

AURA uses digital algorithms, developed in Fishman’s audio labs, to create an image of the natural sound that microphones capture in a professional studio. This Image, when played through an amp, mixer, or PA, blends with your instrument’s pickup to produce an immediate and dramatic improvement in your amplified sound.
