The only downside of this amp is that it doesn't have any modelling types, like the Valvetronix and the Cube amps have. I was able to look past that though, because this amp will sound much much better. The effects are pretty good, but not amazing. The footswitch included is very handy, enables switching between the 3 channels and change the effects. Overall this is an excellent amp for practice, jamming, or maybe even small gigs.

Sound quality is excellent and price is competitive with similar solid state amps. Features that this amp are missing from so many similar amps is modeling. The DSP effects are good and flexible. Footswitch operation is effective and allows switching between the 3 channels. This amp is in the new Crate FlexWave series of amplifiers.

An obvious guitar inspired from the Gibson Les Paul but featuring advanced electronics and 24 frets. The guitars weight is somewhat less than the heavy les Paul and the necks action and feel are right on the money. The controls are easy to access and logical. The EMG pickup provide excellent warm tones while still able to put out the crunch when driven. If we had to identify a flaw or annoyance the 23rd and 24th fret are a bit difficult to reach. Review
