THE WORLD’S SMALLEST, HIGH-POWERD & FULL FEATURED GUITAR AMPLIFIER

150 watt stereo guitar amp weighs only 4.6 pounds

ST. LOUIS (January, 2004) — New for 2005, Crate unveils the Crate PowerBlock, a 150 watt stereo guitar amp weighs only 4.6 pounds. The CPB150 features 150 Watts into 8 Ohms Mono and 75 Watts RMS per side into 4 Ohms; a distortable FlexWave clean channel with gain, level, and 3 Band EQ; guitar input and headphone jack on the front.

The CPB150 also features left, right and mono speaker outputs, stereo RCA CD inputs, an effects loop with left, right and mono line in, and a balanced XLR line out with level control. The CPB150 includes a padded protection bag, and comes in four color retail ready packaging.

“Every guitar player will want one of these,” says Pat Stevenson, Crate Product Manager. “Not only are they the perfect compliment to the gig bag as a “spare” amp in case the main amp goes down, but they’re a great travel amp as well. Players can simply plug in a set of headphones, plug in an iPod, add guitar and jam in the hotel room.”

The Crate PowerBlock features a switch mode power supply, so players traveling to other countries won’t have a voltage problem… they simply plug in the cord and adapter into the outlet and the amp automatically adjusts to the voltage input.
