Title: Crate Flexwave 65/112
Post by: GhostTrain on February 26, 2020, 08:51:50 AM
Hi all.
I joined this group in the hopes of rectifying an issue I'm having:

My Crete Flexwave 65-112. The volume is low, in fact my 15W practice amp can kick it's butt. It also 'hisses', this gets worse when I dial in any of the effects.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Does this amp have an effects loop?  If it does, try using a patch cable from the preamp out to the power amp in.  Sometimes corrosion on the terminals where they close can cause issues similar to this.
