About this app

CAPTURE
Create a Voiceprint that captures the one-of-a-kind voice of your instrument with a few simple steps
Guided by our AcousticLive™ app and proprietary impulse response technology, you can now use your phone like a studio in your pocket to capture a Voiceprint of your acoustic guitar. Developed with Dr. Jonathan Abel, co-founder of Universal Audio, our Voiceprint technology utilizes a sophisticated algorithm that intuitively measures your acoustic guitar by analyzing its actual timbre and playing response, then creates a customized preset for live play, as well as for direct recordings. Simply plug into the Voiceprint DI and set your phone into position; tap on the bridge, strum a few chords, pick some strings, and you’re done!
ENHANCE
Deploy anti•fb feedback profiles and shape your tone with powerful EQ
As an added benefit, every Voiceprint that you create identifies your guitar’s specific resonances that are prone to feedback and creates an Anti•FB profile to easily manage feedback with one simple control on the pedal. The app also provides advanced features, such as a graphical full-parametric EQ for balancing each preset to your exact taste. These features can also be used for creating enhanced presets, even if you choose not to apply a Voiceprint.
CONNECT
Sync your phone to the Voiceprint DI and unlock all of these great features
The AcousticLive app provides the processing you need to create your presets, while the Voiceprint DI is your live performance engine. With advanced processing at 96 kHz sampling, the robust playback algorithms provide studio quality performance designed for easy control during your live show. You can manage your presets in the app and store up to 99 instruments in your Voiceprint DI. The hardware is designed with a simple layout that includes the key features you will need for a successful show, but you can connect with the app during your live performance for additional functionality and control.

Ratings and reviews

Used just a small number of times to practice at home . Initially, I had no real trouble. Got a loud buzz that would not stop until power was removed from the voiceprint. Happened twice, and it's been unused because I don't trust it. 6 months later, let's give it another try! Nope. App won't even connect to the pedal. $500 pedal that is not even usable and an app that won't connect to it. Very disappointed in LRBaggs.

DO NOT UPDATE A SINGLE STUPID THING ON ANDROID!!! RULE NUMBER 1 OF UPDATES IS DO NOT UPDATE!!! I got to use the app for about 30 minutes today and I updated the Bluetooth driver for it. Now it connects for 5 seconds and crashes. This has been a long frustrating day after that. I was super excited for the pedal, it makes my j45 sound fuller for sure, but I can't eq anything because... app. I've un-installed it five times and I get the same thing. 5 seconds of app and crash. Very disappointed

Blown out of my mind. Didn't want an Acoustic guitar but bought 1 because of its voice. It inspires me. Sounds great plugged in but obviously not the same. Enter LR Baggs VPDI and "Holy McGuiver", "That's My Guitars Voice", "Wow". Uniquely It. I get nervous when recording but could tell with my 1st attempt that it is everything it's meant to be. A beautiful sounding Acoustic has to be played beautifully. By my 3rd attempt, I turned the speaker up, to make sure it was on. You guys are Legends.
