FlexWave65/112 Guitar Amplifier w/DSP and Channel Tracking

Introduction
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 rugged amplifier combines outstanding features with serious clean and distorted sounds. Digital
Reverb, Delay, and Modulation effects provide you with a wide variety of sounds. Crate’s
unique Channel Tracking feature automatically stores your DSP settings for each channel to
memory. As you switch from one channel to another, the DSP settings for the selected channel are instantly recalled. 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.
Like all Crate products, your FlexWave65/112 amplifier is designed by musicians and built
using only the best components. Extensive testing confirms that this amplifier is the absolute
best it can be.
In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to read this manual
before you begin playing.
And thank you for choosing Crate.
Here are some of the features packed into your new FlexWave65/112 Combo Amplifier:
•
65 watts rms power output
•
1 x 12" speaker
•
Three-Channel Operation
—High Gain Channel

Channel Tracking
Your Crate FlexWave65/112 gives you the power of Channel Tracking. Once you select a
DSP setting for each channel, Channel Tracking stores the settings to memory whenever you
change channels. When you go back to that channel, Channel Tracking recalls those DSP settings automatically, without changing the DSP controls!
For example:
• Select the Clean channel. Set the Mod control to “Flanger,” the Delay control to “Medium,”
and adjust the Reverb control to your preference.
• Select the Overdrive channel. Set the Mod control to “Chorus,” the Delay control to “Slap,”
and readjust the Reverb control to a different setting. (The DSP settings for the Clean
channel are now saved to memory.)
• Select the High Gain channel. Set the Mod control to “Phaser,” the Delay control to “Long,”
and readjust the Reverb control once again. (The DSP settings for the Overdrive channel
are now saved to memory.)
• Reselect the Clean channel. (The DSP settings for the High Gain channel are now saved to
memory.)
When you reselected the Clean channel, the DSP settings previously stored in memory were
automatically recalled. Switch to the Overdrive channel and the DSP settings you just stored
are still there. You can change the DSP settings at any time. Once you set the DSP and select
another channel, Channel Tracking stores the settings for you. Even when the amplifier is
turned off, the DSP settings are stored and recalled the next time you turn it on. That’s the
power of Channel Tracking!
In addition, each channel has two DSP banks, Bank A and Bank B, when you use the supplied
three-button footswitch (see page 8 for more information on using the footswitch). Channel
Tracking also remembers which DSP bank was selected for each channel.

of distortion for the Overdrive channel.
9. LOW: This adjusts the bass frequencies.
Use this control to get the best sounding
bass response for your instrument when
using the Overdrive channel.
10. MID: This adjusts the midrange frequencies. Use this control to get the best projection and midrange tones for your instrument
when using the Overdrive channel.
11. HIGH: This adjusts the treble frequencies. Use this control to attain a bright and
lively sound for your instrument when using

depending on the setting of the High Gain/
Overdrive switch [6].
14. CLEAN LED: This LED illuminates when
the Clean channel is selected.
15. VOLUME: Use this control to adjust the
output level of the Clean channel.
16. LOW: This adjusts the bass frequencies. Use this control to get the best sounding bass response for your instrument when
using the Clean channel.
17. MID: This adjusts the midrange frequencies. Use this control to get the best projection and midrange tones for your instrument
when using the Clean channel.
18. HIGH: This adjusts the treble frequencies. Use this control to attain a bright and
lively sound for your instrument when using
the Clean channel.
19-21. EFFECTS: Use these controls to apply
and adjust the DSP effects. Complete information on these effects is provided on page 7.
22. CD INPUT: Use this 1/8" stereo mini
jack to connect the output from a CD player,
MP3 player, laptop, etc., to the amplifier.
The signal at this jack is summed into a
mono signal, which is sent to the internal
power amp circuit. Use the output level control for the signal source to adjust the signal
for the proper mix with your guitar.
23. POWER: Use this switch to turn the
amplifier on (top of the switch depressed)
and off (bottom of the switch depressed).
The switch illuminates when the amplifier is

Using the Footswitch with the DSP
The Crate three-button footswitch supplied with the FlexWave65/112 allows access to an
additional DSP preset for each channel of the amplifier. When the footswitch is connected to
the amplifier as shown below, the “original” DSP presets are active for each channel when the
#3 footswitch LED is illuminated. These are referred to as “DSP Bank A.” When the #3 button
is switched and the LED is off, a second DSP preset may be stored and recalled for each
channel — “DSP Bank B.”
Note: DSP Bank B presets are only accessible when the footswich is connected to the amplifier. When the footswitch is not connected, only DSP Bank A is accessible.
