Crate Acoustic Amps

Crate has updated their line of acoustic amplifiers. Their are 5 models in all, ranging from 15 to 125 watts of power. The 3 higher end models (60, 120, 125 watts) all offer XLR mic input as well as the standard 1/4" instrument jacks. The top of the line model also has a graphic equalizer on the control panel. Crate's acoustic amps are used by the likes of Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Rainbow) and Bill Nershi (String Cheese Incident). The also present a great value, especially for the prices you can get at musician's friend.

The delicate, clear tones of Crate's Acoustic series reflect instrument subtleties unlike any other acoustic gear on the market. With its unparalleled balance of clarity, power, natural tone, and intuitive controls, Crate Acoustic remains our most widely endorsed amp line. It's also one of our most flexible: Suited for instruments, vocals, or even as a coffeehouse PA, Crate Acoustic amps consistently produce studio-quality sound. Our acoustic engineers employ creative technologies to unify instrument and amplifier—even when playing mandolin or violin.

The technology in the New Crate Acoustic Series is unique, with preamp circuits you can tailor for piezo or active systems or BOTH!!. Our NEW feedback elimination circuits are efficient and simple to use and on the 60 and 120 watt units include the ability to automatically eliminate feedback at two different frequencies. Every CA amp has a high frequency component for crisp, clear highs. On the CA6110DG, CA125DG and CA120DG models we include special features for live performance like XLR & 1/4" balanced line out with Level control which does not affect your stage volume. They also have ground lift on the Line Out, Tweeter Level control, Effects Loop and a two button footswitch for Internal Reverb/Effects and Chorus switching.
