Fantastic tone for an affordable price.

The Crate FlexWave FW65 is a mid-sized stage/rehearsal guitar combo amp that uses the FlexWave™ Evolution 5 preamp and patented Sequential Cascading Gain™ technology to pump 65-watts of rich, articulate tone through a 12" speaker. Variable 3-channel operation lets you switch between clean, dirty, and saturated channels with the included remote footswitch. And Digital Signal Processing (DSP) effects add separate delay, modulation, and reverb to your signal. Crate's Channel Tracking automatically stores your DSP settings, so the amp recalls which effect is assigned to each channel when you switch between them. Develop your own sound by tweaking the onboard 3-band EQ. The solo channel features our proprietary Shape Control circuit for crafting dynamic custom lead tones. A built-in tuner ensures that you're constantly in tune.

Crate FlexWave Series FW65 65W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp Features:

• 3 channels
• 65 watts
• 1x12" speaker
• Evolution 5 preamp
• DSP effects

I have had this thing for over a a year now. I love it. There are a some downsides though. 1 Needs more diverse FX range isnt that great. 2 the high gain channel is tweaked way bad. volume all the way down and I still get noise turn up the gain and its just like boom here I am it goes realy realy loud and the Clean channel kinda cuts out when I turn the volume up. Other than that its a great amp. So maybe I got a lemon kinda thing. Dunno overall great amp.

First of all, This is amp is a huge bargain, and it definitely can get loud enough to play a show with. However, what I don't like about it is....

The built in tuner sucks (not a big deal)

There is no separate EQ for the high gain channel (It shares the EQ with the OD channel)

My footswitch doesn't work properly...It makes my guitar cut in and out. At first I thought it was my cable.....and sometimes when you change the effects...it doesn't work. So I may just have gotten a bad one, but I would definitely not call this amp reliable.

I bought this amp recently after watching vidoes of people playin olnine and I have to say it blew me away. The clean channel on this thing is amazing and the included effects are above average for built in effects. The Overdrive Channel gets good sound as well and the High Gain Channel is wicked. This is the perfect amp for sound sound quality and and price for those who our on a strict budget. Personally I would suggest you get this amp or a Marshall.

This amp has 3 channels, all of which you can completely shape with the EQ (the high gain channel has a 'shape' knob). There is a reverb knob, Chorus (3 Levels), flanger (3 levels), Phaser (3 levels) and delay (slap, medium, long). The EQ lets you get bright, sparkling cleans or deep, crunchy gain. I can match almost any bands tone with this amp. It is definitely worth it.
