When you need to send the perfect acoustic signal to the front-of-house mixer, the Crate CA120DG can get you there in style. With 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, it's easy to see why the Crate CA120DG is the leader in its class.
Designed for the performing artist, CA120DG's 120 watt power amp drives the internal 12" polypropylene woofer/piezo tweeter combination to outstanding volume levels, providing both low end punch and superb top-end fidelity. And since volume without tone just doesn't cut it, the CA120DG provides two separate channels, each with its own gain, EQ, and reverb/effects controls. Crate's built-in feedback filters make feedback a thing of the past, effectively killing feedback without sacrificing sound quality. We've even included the footswitch for hands-free operation of the feedback filters.
The CA120DG 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 CA120DG 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.

This review is from: Crate CA120DG Durango Acoustic Guitar Amplifier - 120 Watts RMS, Automatic Feedback Elimination (Electronics)
This amplifier sounds amazing with my acoustic guitar, and like the other reviewer stated, it is really nice to have two low-z (balanced) inputs and two high-z (unbalanced) inputs. It even has a balanced output on the back, and the rca inputs are a sweet feature.
The DSP Effects are on both channels and can even have different effects on the fly. Just use the included three switch pedal and check out the instruction manual to learn how to use different effects for each channel.
The tweeter cut is a really nice feature, allowing you to decide how much of the high fidelity tweeter you want in the mix with the 12" woofer.
Other than all the great technical aspects of the amp, I really like the organic look of it, and I got a really nice surprise when I realized that there is a "kickstand" on the bottom of the cabinet that allows you to angle the amp upward. That was a really cool, unexpected feature.

This review is from: Crate CA120DG Durango Acoustic Guitar Amplifier - 120 Watts RMS, Automatic Feedback Elimination (Electronics)
My two daughters, the Goldmine Girls, both play guitars and sing. This one amp takes all four inputs (two vocal mikes and two instruments) at the same time! Each has its own level control. The amp has the power and tone to fill a pretty large room, so doing all this in one very portable amp is a great advantage for gigging at small to medium sized venues. In addition, it can also accomodate a CD input or a drum machine.
At larger venues it has the desired tonal quality for an acoustic guitar amp. By using the line-in input it also doubles as a monitor at larger gigs. This amp is just what I was looking for. VERY flexible. Great design!
