Extension Cabinet (on the Flextone Plus only) - This connection is for
the Flextone Cab or other 8 W speaker cabinet only.
Foot Pedal Connector - This jack that looks like a telephone
connector on steroids is where you connect the Floor Board or FB4 foot controller.
If you have a Flextone HD, be sure to see Chapter 7 for more details on foot
control capabilities.
Effects Send and Return - HD folks, see Chapter 7. For all
Flextones, effect send and return are pre-Master Volume. The send can also be used
for a line out connection in live situations where you want to use the amp for an
onstage monitor, and feed the sound system for the main room sound. When using
the send as an output (instead of the Headphone/Direct Out) the cabinet simulator
will be bypassed, so you may want to use a direct box. On the Flextone Duo, Plus,
or XL, the send and return are stereo. On the 1-12” Flextone, they are mono.

When hooking up your effect send/return, be sure to use the right kind of cable.
With a regular Flextone, the effect send and return are mono, so you should use a
mono cable. With the Flextone Plus, Flextone Duo, or XL, the effect send and
return are stereo, and you should be sure to use a stereo cable to connect them to
other devices. If you are connecting the Flextone Plus, Duo, or XL to a device with
separate left and right inputs or outputs, you’ll want to use a standard “insert” cable,
which gives you a single stereo quarter inch connector for the Flextone end, and
two mono quarter inch connectors for the two ins or outs of your other device. HD
people, see Chapter 7.
Note: If you use a mono cable with a Plus, Duo, or XL, you will only get one side of the
signal on the send, and when using a mono cable for the return, the returned signal will
only be fed to one of your Flextone’s speakers.
And note: You probably won’t want to use stomp box-type effects in this loop, as they
aren’t usually designed to take line level signals. Most likely you’ll want to plug your
guitar straight into the stomp box, and then go from the stomp box to the Flextone’s input.
