FlexWave65/112 Guitar Amplifier w/DSP and Channel Tracking
Introduction
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the Crate FlexWave65/112 three-channel
guitar amplifier with advanced digital signal processing (DSP) and Channel Tracking. This rug-
ged amplifier combines outstanding features with serious clean and distorted sounds. Digital
Reverb, Delay, and Modulation effects provide you with a wide variety of sounds. Crates
unique Channel Tracking feature automatically stores your DSP settings for each channel to
memory. As you switch from one channel to another, the DSP settings for the selected chan-
nel are instantly recalled. The supplied three-button footswitch allows you to select channels
and change the DSP bank (Bank A/Bank B) by remote control. A front panel 1/8" stereo
CD input jack allows you to play along with your CD player, MP3 player, or iPod. A rear panel
insert jack allows you to add even more effects by connecting an external effect processor.

using only the best components. Extensive testing confirms that this amplifier is the absolute
best it can be.
