Description
Looking for massive stage volume and versatile tone without the heavy maintenance of a tube amp? The Crate FlexWave 120/212 is a powerhouse combo designed for the gigging guitarist. Pushing 120 watts through a pair of 12-inch custom-designed speakers, this amp delivers the headroom and “thump” needed for any rehearsal or live venue.
Three Channels of Versatility
-
Clean Channel: Provides a sparkling, high-headroom foundation that stays crisp even at high volumes—perfect for pedal users.
-
Overdrive Channel: Features Crate’s proprietary FlexWave Evolution 5 preamp technology, delivering a touch-sensitive response that mimics the warmth and grit of a driven tube circuit.
-
High Gain Channel: Pure mayhem for metal and hard rock, offering aggressive saturation and a “Shape” control to scoop your mids or add a cutting punch.
-
Onboard DSP: Includes built-in digital effects like Delay, Reverb, Chorus, and Flanger to add depth to your sound without extra pedals.
Condition & Accessories
This amplifier is in good overall condition and has been fully tested for reliability.
-
Cosmetics: The front grill cloth and control panel are clean. There is a visible mark/scuff on the back of the cabinet near the bottom edge. This is purely cosmetic and has no impact on the structural integrity or the sound of the amplifier.
-
Foot Pedal: This unit includes the original stock 3-button footswitch, allowing you to switch between channels and toggle effects hands-free during a performance.
