The Crate FlexWave65 is
a mid-sized combo amp utilizing Crate's
now-legendary FlexWave™ Evolution 5 preamp and
patented Sequential Cascading Gain™ technology to
pump 65 watts of mind-boggling rich, articulate tone
through a single 12" speaker. Variable 3-channel
operation lets you switch between clean, dirty and
saturated channels with the included remote
footswitch.
Don’t pass out yet,
because i includes a whopping 18 DSP effects to add
separate delay, modulation and reverb to your sound.
Crate’s legendary Channel Tracking™ technology
automatically stores your effects settings for each
channel and recalls the settings as you switch
between channels using the footswitch we
include—it’s a dance that can only be described as
"beautiful." Dial in the perfect tone by tweaking
the overtly musical onboard 3-band EQ, and for even
more punishing leads, the Solo channel features
Crate's proprietary Shape Control circuit.

Reviews
This amp is in the
new Crate FlexWave series of amplifiers. Sound
quality is excellent and price is competitive with
similar solid state amps. Features that this
amp are missing from so many similar amps is
modeling. The DSP effects are good and
flexible. Footswitch operation is effective
and allows switching between the 3 channels. JFGZ
I couldn't decide
between a Vox Valvetronix AD50VT or a Roland Cube
60, but then I tried the Crate FW65 and it blew them
both away (in terms of sound quality). The only
downside of this amp is that it doesn't have any
modelling types, like the Valvetronix and the Cube
amps have. I was able to look past that though,
because this amp will sound much much better. The
effects are pretty good, but not amazing. The
footswitch included is very handy, enables switching
between the 3 channels and change the effects.
Overall this is an excellent amp for practice,
jamming, or maybe even small gigs.
