Introduction
Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the Crate FlexWave 412A or 412B guitar
amplifier loudspeaker enclosure. The FlexWave 412A/B guitar cabinets are built from the fin-
est materials and components available. The cabinets are carefully constructed and then cov-
ered with extremely tough fabric-backed vinyl. The cabinets are then loaded with four custom
designed 12" speakers.
The FlexWave 412A and 412B come standard with steel handles, a switchable, dual-imped-
ance mono/stereo jackplate, and heavy-duty removable casters. The FW412B features a
straight baffle while the FW412A features a slanted top baffle.
The FlexWave 412A and 412B enclosures are compatible with any Crate head, including the
FlexWave 120H. With 120 watts of power-handling capacity, they can process everything from
sparkling clean guitar sounds to face-melting distortion.
Like all Crate products, the FlexWave 412A and 412B guitar enclosures are designed by
musicians and built using only the best components. Extensive testing confirms that these
guitar enclosures are the absolute best they can be. In order to get the most out of your new
guitar enclosure, we strongly urge you to read this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you for choosing Crate.
