Crate CA125DG

Crate CA125DG Crate CA125DG Description: New for 2004, we are introducing an entirely new range of acoustic amplifiers. 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. Crate CA125DG The Front Panel: The Instrument Channel: 1: Input. The signal output from your acoustic instrument may be connected here by means of a shielded instrument cable. 2: Active/Piezo. Use this switch to match the type of pickup used in your instrument. For active electronic pickups, set the switch to "active" (switch out). For passive/magnetic pickups, set it to "piezo" (switch depressed). 3: Gain. This serves as the input level control for the instrument channel. For the best signal to noise ratio set this control so the Peak LED (#4) flashes on strong signals. 4: Peak. This LED flashes when the signal level into the preamp approaches clipping. Adjust the Gain control (#3) until a strong signal causes this LED to flash. 5: Low. This serves as the instrument channel's primary bass control. Adjust this control to get the best sounding bass response for your instrument. Excessive boost of the low control can cause an unnatural howling and should be avoided. 6: Mid. This serves as the instrument channel's primary midrange control. Adjust this control to get the best projection and midrange tones for your instrument. The center point of the mid control is chosen by the setting of the Contour control (#7). 7: Contour. Use this control to set the center point of the Mid control (#6). Set this control at the frequency which gives you the most natural-sounding midrange tones. 8: High. This serves as the instrument channel's primary treble control. Adjust this control so your high notes and harmonic overtones are lively but not overpowering. 9: Freq. Use this control along with the Cut control (#10) to eliminate instrument feedback. For information on the proper use of this control, please read the section entitled "To Eliminate Feedback." 10: Cut. Use this control along with the Freq control (#9) to eliminate instrument feedback. For information on the proper use of this control, please read the section entitled "To Eliminate Feedback." 11: Rev/Eff Send. Use this control to adjust the amount of internal Digital Effect and/or external effect (if used) for Channel 1. 12: On/Off. This switch, when depressed
