"Crate Flexwave 15W Amp"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I think I'll be using this for quite some time!
Sound
It sounds pretty good. Haven't heard from a lot of amps. But it just sounds good. It has overdrive things so you can change the distortion and whatnot. Overall it has great sound.
Features
Only has two channels, but it's only a 15 watt, so whaddya expect? It's got a headphone jack that's pretty small so you don't need to go out and buy those expenseive headphones for amps. It's got a CD jack thing so that's cool. Got gain, overdrive, volume, etc. knobs for messing around with the sound. It's awesome.
Ease of Use
Pretty much, you just plug it in and play!
Quality
Sounds really good for practicing and whatnot.
Value
I got a B-Stock of it and it still is in good shape.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed to so far.
The Wow Factor
It looked real eye grabbing to me. It's probably better than a 10 watt Marshall amp, what a waste of money!
