Amazon.com Product Description

Dig if you will the awesome FlexWave120H head. If sheer volume combined with tone so outstanding it should be declared illegal is the action you crave, then put the FlexWave120H at the top of your shopping list. Producing 120 watts of savage power while sporting three channels and built in effects, it’s the perfect head for the gigging maniac. We guess you could use it in your bedroom too if you didn’t mind re-plastering the walls every week.

The FlexWave120H’s FlexWave™ Evolution 5 preamp uses our patented Sequential Channel Tracking™ technology, for a tone with so much balls, it needs a jockstrap. Variable 3-channel operation allows you to switch between twangadelic clean, hot-as-freaking-heck overdrive and tortured high gain channels via the remote footswitch we lovingly pack with each and every unit. With 18 stereo DSP effects, Channel Tracking™ of effects settings, and our proprietary Shape Control circuit for sculpting wicked custom leads, it’s statistically impossible to dial up a lame sound. We highly recommend our Crate FW412A/B 4x12 cabinets for projecting the bold power of the FlexWave120H head into the skulls of your rapt listening public.

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.

This review is from: Crate FlexWave FW120H Guitar Amp Head with DSP, 120W (Electronics)
Dead on arrival. I feel that if it did work i would have enjoyed it, but there was something wrong with the input. Also when I managed to get some sound out of it (nothing like what it should be able to do) some of the effects were coming in and out at random times. I see this happening to other people as well so be cautious when ordering this product.

This review is from: Crate FlexWave FW120H Guitar Amp Head with DSP, 120W (Electronics)
Crates have been making amps since the 70's, along the way of becoming guitarists go to amp for their amazing price, they've established a thorough fan base with classic models such as the Blue Voodoo an all tube head. Specifically though Crate has released an all new run of amps, ranging from 15watts up to 120watts (along with heads), called Flexwave. These are the natural progression of the last run, for those familiar I'm referring to models like the XT120R and the XT65R (both combo amps).

This specific model is very much like the XT120R, featuring an amazing overdrive, a versatile clean channel and a sought after high gain channel. Crate has never let me down with their reverb; it's very atmospheric and can push a solo to a new realm (or gloss mistakes for sloppy guitarist). Flexwaves are durable, and affordable! The FW120 delivers quality tones and sound for a price that won't disrupt your budget. One of my former Crates eventually bit the dust, or so I thought. Using... Read more
