Acoustic Guitar Amps

Acoustic guitar amplifiers are not as popular as electric guitar amps. Many guitarists choose to plug into a small preamp to shape their tone before going to the soundboard. Many guitarists will plug directly into a D/I box, then into the soundboard, relying on the live sound engineer & the guitar's pickup to do all the tone shaping. Here's a list of acoustic guitar amplfiers that should get you started on your search.

If you're looking to buy an acoustic guitar amplifier, we recommend shopping for the major brands at Zzounds. Ebay is a great place to find used, vintage & rare guitar amps. Shop caerfully, preserve your acoustic's tone!

As avid guitar players themselves, Crate engineers build the gear they want to use.
