A Great little amp from Crate, the Flexwave

By Bruce Stanway

The Crate FlexWave FW15R Guitar Amplifier Combo is a good example of a good quality practice amp. Crate has been known to add new twists to classic kit and they continue to do so with this guitar amplifier. Though small in status, the Crate FlexWave does just that. With so many alterations and variations in such a little package, it basically transforms itself from a practice amp to a little performance amplifier.

The facts:

- Power: 15 watts
- 12" speaker
- Distortion and Clean
- Headphone Input
- CD or MP3 player audio input jack
- Weighs 27 lbs.
- Built-in three-band EQ
- Evolution 5 preamp, which allows for clear and sharp audio output quality
- Channel tracking feature, which recalls your settings and preferences between channels

Why this might just be the right amplifier for you

- You need a practice amp that can basically be employed in smaller gigs "either in smaller performances, an audition or gigs in small spaces.
- You need a practice amp that permits you to have different distortion settings between channels and can essentially remember your preferences when switching.
- You would like a practice amp that goes with the type of music that you like "rock and R&B would go well with this bass-heavy practice amp.
- You find yourself shuffling backwards and forwards between audition halls, your room (for more practicing), spur of the moment performances or even little, company gigs. Then this practice amp would be your all-in-one best chum to take around with you wherever you go.
- You want a crossover practice amp that won't let you down during a sequence of in depth auditions and performances.
- You need a practice amp that can double as your mp3 or CD player and can even permit you to jam noiselessly with the headphone jack.

Consider another sort of amplifier if

You are not hot for the heavy-bass sound since this amplifier tends to add more base to its audio output.

You want an even smaller practice amp that will literally fit in your messenger or body bag.

You simply wish to have a basic, easy amplifier you can simply bring with you wherever you go (and you want it to be a bit less expensive, too).

You want a lighter practice amp since you'll be strolling round the majority of the time and do not have the benefit of having a car trunk to put away most of your things in.
