I got this Crate Flexwave 120 212 for Christmas and I love it. It is a great improvement from my previous Fender Frontman 25R

I now realize the video is realy..”jumpy” i guess

also the sound on this video doesnt do it justice, the clean channel doesn’t break up at all

I run direct into the front of the PB to show you it’s own sound, then into the Line Inputs on the back with my BOSS GT-6. After that, I hook directly in the RCA CD Inputs for an uncolored sound that is the only way to bypass the internal cabinet sim in the PowerBlock… This is the ideal hookup for modeler’s according to various sources in the amp modeler communities…

It’s a 15W amp with a GDI21 or GT2 circuit inside, giving you good simulations of Mesa Boogie, Marshall and Fender amps. I’m no good player, so don’t expect too much. My guitar isn’t good either (Condor RX30, brazilian guitar), so it should sound a lot better with a better guitar, a better player and a better microphone (I’m using the camera one).
There’s also the YouTube’s audio compression. But hey, it gives you an idea of the amp, wich is a killer amp for its price, beating even the amps that costs a double price.
The more you turn its volume up, the more awesome is the sound (well, if you pass the 8, it’s the contrary).

Comments about my knee are not welcome ;)

This amp is seriously the most surprising amp I ever owned. The clean channel is super clean, and the lead channel is like a modded Marshall. The knobs on the amp look like a Marshall amp as well. Ha!

These are not cover versions -just rough versions with the same delay settings. Also, no herdim pick was used-didn’t have any yet! This is just to give you a rough idea of the tonal possibilities.

1. Fender squire strat through Boss DD-5 into amp.
2. Epiphone Les Paul with seymour duncan pickup through Boss OD-3 into Boss DD-5 into amp.

1. Bad by U2
2. I will follow by U2

Let me know what you think

I apologize for how dark this video is. I shoot these in my basement. Questions about any of the gear are welcome.
