CRATE CA125DG Details top
When you need maximum power and fidelity in an acoustic instrument amplifier, look no further than the Crate CA125DG. With dual 50 watt amps powering twin eight-inch polypropylene woofers and a separate, dedicated 25 watt amp for the high frequency tweeter, you'll definitely be heard. Features like XLR & 1/4" balanced line out (with Level control and ground lift), Tweeter Level control, Effects Loop, and footswitch accessible Reverb/Effects and Chorus switching, make the Crate CA125DG the choice of discerning professionals around the world.
The CA125DG is extremely flexible, with three independent channels each dedicated to a specific function. The Instrument channel offers a selectable input for either active or piezo-equipped instruments and features a 3-band EQ with Crate's proprietary “Contour” control for fine-tuning midrange tones. This channel also has its own Reverb and Chorus controls. The built-in Freq and Cut filters make feedback a thing of the past, effectively killing feedback without sacrificing sound quality.
The Vocal/Mic channel accepts a wide array of microphones, including those that require phantom power. The Aux channel is designed to accept High-Z microphones, as well as line level devices, such as CD players or tape decks.
The CA125DG also features Crate's stunning DSP effects, including short and medium Slapback Delays, Echo, Chorus, Rotary Speaker, Chorus (with Hall Reverb), and two distinct Reverb modes. These effects were designed specifically for use with acoustic instruments and vocals.
Whether you need the perfect acoustic guitar amp, or a self-contained PA system with digital effects and feedback control, the Crate CA125DG is all about tone, control, and flexibility.

Why is it so hard to amplify an acoustic guitar? By its very nature, an acoustic instrument requires lots of feedback control, especially when it's asked to compete with drums and a stage full of rockers. And although most amps can effectively control feedback, they often do so by severely sacrificing tone for volume.
Our CA Series amps give you all the tone and features necessary to put your acoustic sound on top of the mix, whether you're soloing at the Opry or strummin' at the coffeehouse. With its unparalleled balance of clarity, power, natural tone, and intuitive controls, the Crate Acoustic Series remains our most widely endorsed amp line. Try one and you'll see why.
