The UltraSound CP-100 is a compact, powerful 2-channel amp that keeps your amplified acoustic guitar sounding acoustic. It has an 8" LF driver and HF horn powered by 100W. 2 channels each have combo XLR/1/4" inputs so they can be used for either guitar or microphone, and the inputs also have phantom power for condenser mics. Each channel has 2-band EQ, and channel 2 has a notch filter for eliminating feedback, as well as a shape switch that scoops the mids. A bank of 16 digital footswitchable effects (reverbs, delays, flanges, choruses, auto wah, and rotary) can be assigned to either or both channels. Other features of the Ultrasound CP-100 include effects send/return, an unbalanced line out for connection to a mixer or slave amp, and a balanced DI output for connection to a recorder or sound reinforcement system.

"The CP-100's high headroom and ability to handle attack transients without compressing the sound or getting distorted easily allows you to dig in and express yourself. Whether you pick with skin or nail, play Doc Watson-smooth lead lines or snap the strings with Mississippi Delta force, the CP-100 will transmit everything with the faithfulness of a Steinway grand piano soundboard." - Emile Menasche (Guitar World Acoustic magazine)

TAPE/CD: Unbalanced phono (RCA) input jacks. This is an auxiliary input designed for use with a drum machine, tape player, CD player, etc. and can be used for playing prerecorded music.
TAPE/CD LEVEL: This “inset” control adjusts the volume level of the TAPE/CD input. This control can be adjusted with a small screwdriver. This signal is pre MASTER control which means that the MASTER volume setting will affect the loudness of the TAPE/CD input signal.
