The A-Duo 120-watt 2 x 8-inch acoustic combo amplifier from Laney gives songwriters and small acoustic ensembles all the right tools for a captivating performance. The A-Duo amp is lightweight, easy to carry, and even doubles as a performance stool once deployed. A-Duo’s two independent channel strips and inputs let performers configure many different setups ? one guitar and one microphone, two acoustic instruments, or even two microphones ? all with dual 3-band EQs for each source. A-Duo’s sonic protection helps keep output pristine with anti-feedback, ground, and phase features for tackling intrusive noise. With 120 watts of power and two 8-inch full-range coaxial speakers, A-Duo is perfect for intimate stages, while built-in XLR-DI offers fast connectivity to house sound systems ? no amp miking required. Simply connect it directly to the house system while A-Duo serves as an onstage monitor that keeps you in the zone!

Built-in effects





A-Duo features an FX loop and a small selection of high-quality digital effects made specifically to enhance acoustic instruments and microphones. Each channel has reverb and chorus effects that are entirely independent. The reverb is perfect for bringing the feel of a larger space to small rooms. The chorus offers subtle, savvy thickening for your instrument and gives singer/songwriter setups enhanced production value. What’s more, pairing A-Duo with the FS2-MINI footswitch (sold separately) will unlock fluid floorboard control of your favorite features.





Reputation matters ? protect your sound!





A-Duo goes above and beyond to guard your sound ? and reputation ? with clever tools, including an Anti-Feedback system and three setup options. Use the amp vertically and let it double as a performance stool, place it on its side for a slightly different sound. A-Duo can even be mounted on a speaker stand for wider coverage. Guitarists at Sweetwater have discovered the Laney Anti-Feedback system turns even large feedback-prone acoustic guitars into good, polite citizens of the stage. The Anti-Feedback system is adjustable, so you're never stuck with one fixed level that suits some sources while leaving others feeling soulless. Moreover, A-Duo offers traditional ground-lift and phase toggles for improving sound when interference and hum rear their heads.
