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.

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.
