Amazon.com Product Description
The FlexWave15 is a compact, two-channel 15-watt combo that gives you awesome clean and blistering distortion tones, thanks in no small part to our FlexWave™ Evolution 5 preamp with patented Sequential Cascading Gain technology. FlexWave15’s 8" speaker is optimized for maximum efficiency with the highly engineered closed-back cabinet, producing a loud and punchy thump you’d swear came from a half stack.
A stereo input lets you jack in a CD or MP3 player and jam along with your favorite songs, while a headphone jack lets you practice at any hour, without the police knowing your address from memory. Onboard 3-band EQ provides dynamic tone control, while the external output can power an additional speaker. This super versatile mini-combo weighs in at just 15 pounds, so you can carry it with ease and avoid developing muscles that would destroy your carefully crafted emaciated rocker image.
Crate's new FlexWave Series reinvents the old-school solid state amp as a modern, fire-breathing tone monster capable of producing the saturated overdrive today's guitarists demand. FlexWave amps feature the remarkably responsive Evolution 5™ preamp, as well as Sequential Cascading Gain™ technology for rich, articulate tone and playability, and Channel Tracking that remembers your effects settings when you switch between channels. Capable of producing a wide array of sounds from crystal clear cleans to white-knucle distortion, FlexWave proves there is no better value around.

good home practice amp, April 20, 2008 By Tex "dionysus_olympus" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Crate FlexWave FW15 Guitar Amp Combo, 15 Watt Single 8 Speaker (Electronics) This little amp is your basic home practice combo amp. It has your CD input and all the distortion and clean controls. The distortion is not great, but the clean is excellent. However, if you want to get the most out of your amp, plug in your headphones. The amp works wonders on that aspect. Everything you play from clean to distortion sounds pretty good to excellent. It's not the best amp in the world, but it does what it does. If you're a beginning guitarist, like myself, this will fit the bill fine for a couple of years or so -- until you get a real tube amp or a higher watt amp with "professional" features.

I bought this amp and it has served me well. The only thing I hate is how the overdrive is so....god awful. But the clean is beautiful. All you have to do is get some effects pedals and your set. If you can only afford under $100, get this. If you have more money invest in something else.

I then started looking for a suitable replacement and I came across this Crate which after more than a year of use has done more than what I was expecting from an amp this price and this size. The clean tone sounds great and while the amp distortion isn't the best that I've heard it is still acceptable. I usually use this amp with the clean tone attached to my Muff distortion pedal plus tuner and compressor and/or analog delay. The sound is steady and so far after more than a year I cannot find anything to really complain about for what I use it for. I don't use the cd/mp3 connecting function and when I tried it out on my Creative Nuvo a few months back it didn't work that well but as this is not a critical feature for me I'm not too upset about this.
For what it does and for the price it retails for this surprisingly good amp comes highly... Read more
