Q: Does the Flextone (I) have a line out?
A: The Flextone (I) has a headphone jack that doubles as a good direct out. To utilize it properly, you should use a stereo-to-dual mono insert cable and use it as a stereo out into 2 channels on your mixer/recorder. If you need XLR direct outs, you may want to check into a Flextone (I) Plus or XL.


Q: Which Line 6 floor controller(s) can I use with the Flextone (I)?
A: Either the FB4 or Floorboard will control the Flextone I, but we recommend the Line 6 floorboard. Please be aware that the Line 6 Floorboard and FB4 are no longer in production but may still be special ordered or found through used gear dealers.


Q: Does the Flextone (I) have an effects loop?
A: Yes, the Flextone I units have a stereo unbalanced effect loop (the Flextone 112 is a mono effect loop), located before the Master volume.


Q: What is an effect loop used for?


Q: Can I connect an external pre-amp (i.e. Line 6 POD unit) to the Flextone (I)?
A: You can connect an external preamp into the front of the unit or the effects loop return of the Flextone I. Be sure to use a Â¼â€ dummy jack in the instrument input to send the amplifier output to the speakers.

Q: How can I register my Flextone (I)?
Product Registration F.A.Q.




Q: My guitar's sustain is cut off after several seconds. Is there a way to stop this?
A: This is likely because of the noise gate on the Flextone. To turn it off, hold the Tap Tempo button and turn the Reverb knob down. To turn it back on, hold Tap and turn the Reverb knob up.


Q: How do I perform a factory reset on my Flextone (I)?
A: the factory reset for a Flextone I is to hold the A B C D Buttons while powering the amp.


Q: Can a Flextone (I) be upgraded to a Flextone II?
A: Unfortunately not. We are always trying to make our amps better and add features that are requested by our users. When we decided that it was time to make some changes to the Flextone amp, we found that the most requested features were things like midi and XLR outputs. To make these additions we found that we had to make significant hardware and software changes. We had to change the whole layout of the amplifier, as you can see from all of the new connectors on the rear panel. Since the Flextone II software will not work in the Flextone I amp and replacing the chassis would approach the cost of a new amp, we aren't able to offer a practical upgrade path.
