Crate FlexWave FW15R Guitar Amp Combo

By Bruce Stanway

The Crate FlexWave FW15R Guitar Amplifier Combo is a fine example of a top quality practice amp. Crate has been known to add new twists to classic equipment and they continue doing so with this offering. Though tiny in prominence, the Crate FlexWave does exactly that. With so many adjustments and differences in such a small package, it essentially transforms itself from a practice amp to a tiny performance amplifier.

The details:

- 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 want a practice amp that will actually be used in smaller gigs "either in smaller performances, an audition or gigs in confined spaces.
- You want a practice amp that lets you have different distortion settings between channels and can actually remember your preferences when switching.
- You need a practice amp that goes with the kind of music that you like "rock and R&B would go well with this bass-heavy practice amp.
- You find yourself shuffling forwards and backwards between audition halls, your room (for more practicing), impromptu performances or small, corporate gigs. Then this practice amp would be your all-in-one best mate to take around with you wherever you go.
- You need a crossover practice amp that will not disappoint you during a series of intensive auditions and performances.
- You would like a practice amp that can also be used as your mp3 or CD player and can even allow you to jam silently with the headphone jack.

Look at another kind 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 need an even smaller practice amp that can literally slot 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 walking round most of the time and do not have the benefit of having an auto trunk to put away the majority of your things in.
