The Hartke AC75 will sound like your guitar, only louder!
Hartke has taken its experience in building great sounding bass amplifiers and brought it to the field of acoustic guitar amplification with the introduction of the Hartke Acoustic Ribbon Series. Perfect to go from the coffee house to the night club, the AC150 is a two channel 150 watt acoustic guitar combo.
Designed in a precision tuned Kickback™ enclosure, with two custom-voiced 5-inch full ranged drivers and a 2-inch by 4-inch ribbon tweeter, the AC75 naturally recreates the sound of the acoustic instrument without adding any unwanted coloration or distortion. Channel 1 has active and piezo instrument inputs, with bass and treble controls, while channel two has XLR microphone and RCA line inputs. There is a 5-band graphic EQ and a built-in 100 preset 24-bit stereo digital effects processor, which can be routed to either channel.
The AC75 features a 75 watt bi-amped design, with 50 watts powering the full range speakers and 25 watts powering the high frequency ribbon tweeter. To reduce feedback, there is a phase switch on channel 1 as well as a variable notch filter with depth control. On the rear panel of the amplifier there is an effects loop, and XLR direct outputs.
