AcPad – turns the guitar into a real instrument!

Acpad is a special add on to your or any guitar – I’ve seen that thing at a performance of Robin Sukroso (FB Image Set of a concert) earlier last year. In fact he can loop, synthesize sounds and do a lot of magic plus playing the pads and it’s just as playing the guitar – so it is not some technology added see it in action – if you can – just catch Robin playing somewhere since it’s the best „advertisement“ for this – so – it’s not a product…
