There are certain situations where you’ll want your electric guitar to sound like an acoustic guitar. For example, you may have a small part in a song that plays an acoustic guitar piece. Instead of tuning a separate guitar for just that one part, it’s much easier to stomp on a pedal to get that same sound (or at least very similiar sound).

In this buyer’s guide, we found the top 5 acoustic simulator pedals available on the market today. Keep in mind that no acoustic simulator pedal will be able to replace the warm sound that you get from using your actual acoustic guitar. However, the pedals on this list will get the closest there is to replicating your acoustic.
