Hi there,I have the same problem with my flexwave 120. I opened the amp to measure several capacitors on the small effect circuit board. If one of this capaciters have internal short circuit, wich will effect the others causing effects to fail. I removed them one by one to find possible short circuit. All capacitors were ok. I think the problem is in the processor wich is to diffucult to replace. I think it's easier to replace the effects circuit board. But where do we find this board??crate flexwave 120 tuner and - 10_29_2011_6_25_35_am.jpg

Often the tuner and effects operate off of a 5 volt power supply and if this part of the main supply fails, the tuner and effects cease operation. I could not find a schematic to give further info.

Crate flexwave 120 head effects malfunctioning

That is probably a momentary switch that is dirty and sticking. These onboard effects on guitar amps are usually nothing more than a computer sound card and I've found bad connections going to and from them as well. I do think that switch is dirty and sticking, though.

Dsp quit and tuner quit working

Both those LIKELY run on a 5 volt supply within the unit. Check for the presence of that voltage... some new stuff MIGHT be 3.3 volts DC, but you should find those voltages. If missing, it may be a shorted electrolytic filter cap OR the filter cap associated with creating the 5 volts from the supply. You really need the schematic for this... try to procure one.

Solid state amps are very subject to blowing out the output transistors if speaker leads get shorted. Take it in for repair.

It sounds like the DSP processor is either about to go out, or is mostly there. Have a qualified amplifier technician take a look at the DSP. Also look up the cost of a new one.

Hope that helps!

Norrmally you run the guitar into the pedal and then into the amp. IF you want it behind the built in effects, The look on page 6 of your users manual showing the special cable you will need to do the "insert" of your effects pedal.

CRATE GX- 212 HUMS WHEN TURNED ON AND CHIRPS WHEN SHUT OFF. NEED SCHEMATIC AND ADVICE TO ISOLATE THE BAD CAP IN WHICH CIRCUIT THAT IT IS OSCILLATING.

Witth an oscilloscope analyze the ripple voltage across C67, C70, C14, and C12. Pay close attention to the last two of these which are on +/- 15 volt lines.

The "chirp" when shutting down is LIKELY normal and would probably be from teh DSP effects unit as it goes down. The voltages go out of the operating range and the device essentially goes nuts for a second or so.
