Crate CA15 Cimarron Acoustic Guitar Amplifier, 15 Watts RMS, Dual Inputs, 3 Band EQ with Mid Contour

Crate CA15 Cimarron Acoustic Guitar Amplifier, 15 Watts RMS, Dual Inputs, 3 Band EQ with Mid Contour Review



Crate CA15 Cimarron Acoustic Guitar Amplifier, 15 Watts RMS, Dual Inputs, 3 Band EQ with Mid Contour Feature

  • Crate 8-inch High Fidelity Woofer/Crate Special Coax Tweeter
  • 15 Watts RMS
  • Two Channels
  • 3-Band EQ
  • Spring Reverb with level
  • 3-Band EQ with mid contour
  • 15 Watts RMS, Two Channels
The CA15 Cimarron compact acoustic amplifier delivers 12 watts of pure musical power and has two inputs, each with its own gain control. Three bands of EQ, centered at critical frequencies, provide exceptional tone control and minimize feedback. The CA15 also features a flip-out locking bar underneath the cabinet, allowing you to tilt the amplifier back for use as a personal monitor.

CA15's handy RCA input jacks allow you to plug in a CD or MP3 player so you can practice along with your favorite music¾you can even plug in a pair of headphones. The Crate 8" woofer/piezo tweeter combination delivers smooth, pristine sound with outstanding projection and fidelity. And if you need a little more coverage, just plug another cabinet into the external speaker jack.

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.

Crate, a division of Loud technologies, Inc has been one of the top manufacturers of high quality, rugged and innovative instrument amplification products since its introduction the 1970's. Among the most regarded and prolific brands in acoustic and electric guitar, keyboard and bass amplification, today's Crate range of products retains its focus on bringing value, reliability and advancement to musicians worlwide.

Includes XT Software's energyXT for recording right out of the box.

View control diagram. Click to enlarge.

Turn Your Home Into a Hit Factory--In Seconds!
Hook the V-AMP3 up to your computer using the included 1/4" TRS-to-RCA cable and UCA222 USB interface. Connect V-AMP3 Phones output with the stereo line inputs of UCA222, and switch its direct monitoring function on. Then connect the UCA222 USB cable to your computer. You can monitor the signal with the UCA222's headphone jack. (This is also a great way to jam along with the MP3's on your computer). From there, the amazing energyXT2.5 DAW (digital audio workstation) makes it easy to manipulate your audio and MIDI files, turning song ideas into stunning CD or web-ready recordings. energyXT2.5 includes its own multi-FX processor, built-in synthesizers and a drum machine, both of which can be accessed by any controller keyboard, such as the UMA25S or UMX series, or programmed in step-write mode.

Any Classic You Like
The V-AMP 3's 32 amp models are organized into four groups: CLEAN, BLUES, METAL and ROCK. Just twist the dedicated dial to plug into unbelievably authentic simulations of the greatest British and American tube amps from the 1950s to today. You even get models of uncommon--yet renowned--boutique tube amps! When you select an amp model, a speaker cabinet model is automatically selected. But if you'd prefer a different model, just go to EDIT>CABINETS, then use the BANK UP/DOWN buttons to navigate through all 15 options.

Just like on an actual guitar amp, you've got a three-band EQ, GAIN, REVERB, VOLUME and MASTER VOLUME dials. By holding the TAP button, the TREBLE dial becomes a PRESENCE control. This enables the adjustment of a high-frequency filter that can add or remove a "shimmer" from the V-AMP 3's tone.

Top Tone--In Full Effect
The V-AMP 3 gives you flanger, chorus, compression, delay and 12 other beautiful digital effects to apply to your sound. Adjust the effect's level in the mix via the EFFECTS dial. To adjust effect parameters, you can rhythmically press the TAP button to alter delay times or LFO speeds, or hold down the TAP button and twist the EFFECTS knob to access e.g. feedback or depth. By using a MIDI pedal, such as the BEHRINGER FCB1010, you can access an additional Wah Wah effect. You can adjust the filter characteristic by entering EDIT mode, selecting the DRIVE menu and turning the EFFECTS knob while holding the TAP button.

Presenting the Presets
All of these elements have been combined into 125 different presets divided into 25 banks, accessible through the BANK UP/ BANK DOWN buttons. Within each bank, you can press buttons A through E to explore its different presets. You can also create and save your own presets. Start by selecting a preset, then making any changes you wish: amp, EQ, effect, etc. The preset LED will begin to flash, indicating that the V-AMP 3 is ready to save your settings. To do this, hold the preset button down for about two seconds. Once the LED stops flashing, you have saved the modified preset. On top of all this, the V-AMP 3 also features a built-in tuner and noise gate. In essence, it's a Swiss Army Knife for the home recording enthusiast or gigging guitarist who can't seem to settle on one amp.

Stunning in the Studio
The V-AMP 3 features several configurations that make it an invaluable asset in the studio. Access the configuration menu by pressing the B and D buttons at the same time. Then use BANK UP and BANK DOWN to select a configuration.

When using headphones, the V-AMP 3 will switch into Studio Mode 1 (S1). This stereo mode works well for both monitoring and recording with effects, amp and speaker modeling. It doesn't apply the additional three-band EQ to the signal, but most recording programs--like energyXT2.5--have their own EQ. In Studio Mode 2 (S2), the V-AMP 3 sends a signal with amp and speaker simulation, but only the right output has effects. You can either record both left and right outputs to separate tracks, or record the "dry" left output while monitoring the right output.

Stellar on Stage
The V-AMP 3 has three live configurations. When performing live with this device, you can either run it to an amp on stage, run directly to the mixing board, or both. Live Mode 1 is the best choice for running the outputs directly to the mixer, because it applies amp and speaker simulation, effects and an additional 3-band EQ.

Use Live Mode 2 to run the V-AMP 3 into the effects return inputs of 2 different guitar amps. This configuration does not feature speaker simulation, allowing the amplifier's natural speaker sound to go unaltered. In this scenario, the amps would be mic'd on stage to get the sound to the house speakers, and having a dedicated monitor would be less important. In Live Mode 3, you can send the left output to an amp's effects return for onstage volume, while the right output sends signal to the main mixer for inclusion in the main house mix. Also note that you can press the TAP key while turning the GAIN knob to adjust the input sensitivity to match the output of your guitar's pickups. If the CLIP LED lights, the input's sensitivity should be reduced.

Veni, MIDI, Vici
The V-AMP 3 comes fully equipped to fit right into a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) setup. It can be controlled in real time from a computer, or via a MIDI foot controller during a live performance. Its MIDI connectors are international-standard 5-pin DIN connectors. You will need dedicated MIDI cables (not included).

The MIDI IN jack receives MIDI controller data. It can be adjusted in EDIT mode by pressing the A button and then using the arrow keys. MIDI OUT/THRU sends data to a computer. You can transmit both preset data and parameter changes. Some people even use the V-AMP as a remote control for parameters of their DAW or VST instruments, which is more handy than using the mouse alone. If set to MIDI THRU, the V-AMP 3 does not send its own MIDI information, but passes on the signal received at the MIDI IN connector.

Marshall MG30FX Guitar Combo Amplifier - 10 Inch, 30 Watts

Marshall MG30FX Guitar Combo Amplifier - 10 Inch, 30 Watts Review



Marshall MG30FX Guitar Combo Amplifier - 10 Inch, 30 Watts Feature

  • Output (RMS): 30 Watts
  • Speaker: 1x10
  • Channels (storable): 4
  • Digital Effects: Yes
  • Digital Reverb: Yes
Marshall's MG30FX features their exclusive, groundbreaking FDD circuitry plus 30 Watts of power for killer tones. The MG30FX includes a 10-inch speaker, four switchable channels, and a 3-band EQ that lets you shape your tone. Four digital effects are included, along with cabinet emulation for the line or headphone out. A fine marriage of digital convenience with modern Marshall tone.

Groundbreaking FDD circuitry plus 30 Watts of power. Click to enlarge.

A single control for digital effects.

Line in for playing along with CD/MP3 players; headphone output for private practicing.

Add the optional Stompware footswitch for further control.

Analog Tube Emulation
Marshall's innovative FDD (Frequency Dependent Damping) circuitry gives the MG4 Series the unbelievable depth of sound and unique feel of their legendary, all-tube amps. It does this by emulating the way an all-tube power amp interacts with the speaker(s) it is driving. The result? An amp that gives you the best of both worlds, not only producing the tone you're looking for, but offering an intuitive and totally programmable way of customizing, storing and accessing your favourite Marshall tones and features.

Preset and Manual Modes
The MG30FX features two modes: Preset and Manual. Preset mode stores the position of all the controls except the master volume, allowing you to store the settings for each channel for instant recall.

Selecting a channel automatically recalls the settings stored within the channel. The physical position of the front panel controls automatically update.

In Manual mode, the amp behaves like any other amp--adjust the controls to your liking on the fly; channel-switching won't recall stored positions (although you can of course save one if you like it).

Four Channels
On the MG30FX guitar amp combo, the available channels are Clean, Crunch, OD1 and OD2--four different foundations upon which to build your sound.

Switching seamlessly between channels is easy with the push button controls, or you can add an optional footswitch.

Reverb and Digital effects
The MG30FX allows two simultaneous effects--Reverb and one of these four digital effects: Chorus, Phaser, Flanger or Delay.

All four effects are controlled by a single knob. Turning clockwise increases the speed on the modulation effects and the level of the delay effect.

The delay can be manually set using the front panel Tap button, which allows you to match the delay time to the time between two presses.

Headphone/Line Output
The combination line out/headphone out features speaker cabinet emulation, giving you full Marshall sound when recording or practicing through headphones (when a jack is inserted into the socket the unit's speaker is muted).

Line Input
The 3.5mm MP3 / Line In socket allows the connection of an external audio source, such as an MP3 or CD player. Plug it in and play along.

Stompware Footswitch (Optional)
Upgrade your rig with the Stompware footswitch, which provides seamless transitioning between channels, foot control of the tap tempo delay, plus a built-in tuner with LCD display.

MG30FX Specs

  • Power (RMS): 30W
  • Channels: 4
  • Speaker: 1 x 10-inch
  • Weight (kg): 10.8 kg
  • Size (mm): 480 x 420 x 225 (W x H x D)

What's in the Box
MG30FX Amplifier, Power Cable, Owner's Manual For all of those guitarists that want more from their amplifier and refuse to sacrifice tone, the Marshall MG30FX delivers. In addition to the superior MG sound both the MG30FX combo amp offers a fully programmable feature set using digitally controlled analog functions for precise adjustment to your sound. For each mode you can individually store your preferred setting by simply adjusting the amp's front-panel controls to your desired positions and then pressing the Store button. It is that simple.
