If you haven’t already done so, turn to the inside back cover of this manual and
notice that it folds out. Ooh, pretty pictures! The idea is to have this essential
pictorial reference always opened out while you’re thumbing through the manual.
And then you can photocopy the back of it, and you’ll have a handy template for
making a note of your favorite settings. The boxed numbers that pop up
throughout the manual correspond to the numbers on the foldout’s illustrations.

Most of the Flextone controls operate exactly the way you’d expect them to:

Input -

You plug your guitar in here. (Well, we want the manual to be

complete, don’t we?).

Master Volume -

Controls the overall output level of the amp. Also

sets the headphone level. This setting is not saved when you store a setup into one
of the Flextone’s memory locations. Unlike many conventional amps, changing the
Master Volume level does not change your tone. So you can get the tone you want
at any volume level.

Model Select -

When you spin this knob, it’s essentially like changing

what electronic “circuitry” is running inside the Flextone to make your amp sound

the knob so that they go clockwise from “cleanest” (Jazz Clean) to “dirtiest”
(Modern High Gain). Then the four unique Flextone sounds come next, followed
by the Fuzz model.

Drive -

This knob controls how hard you’re driving the chosen amp

model. Think of it like the input volume control on a non-master volume amp; the
higher the setting, the more “dirt.”

Tone Controls -

Bass, Mid, and Treble. Just like a regular guitar amp,

only when you change Amp Models, the response and interactivity of the controls
changes too – to act like the tone controls of the original amp that inspired the
Amp Model you’ve selected. The Flextone also has a Presence bump that can be
