Note: For the following description of the TubeTone Amp Models, and other references
that you will find throughout this manual, please be aware that Fender, Marshall, Vox,
Boogie, Soldano, Peavey, Roland, Matchless, Arbiter, ADA, Leslie, and other amplifier
model designations, and the names of musical artists and groups, and effects, are all
trademarks of their respective owners, which are in no way associated or affiliated with
Line 6. These marks and names are used solely for the purpose of describing certain
amplifier tones produced using Line 6’s TubeTone modeling technology. The TubeTone
modeling technology provides the Flextone Series of Digital Guitar Amplifier Systems
with a wide variety of sounds and effects modeled after some of the most popular sounds
of the classic amps, effects, and artists mentioned here.
Jazz Clean - This Amp Model is modeled after the classic Roland JC-120.
This transistor amp was known for a strident clean sound and built-in stereo
chorus. When using the Jazz Clean Amp Model, try cranking up the treble for a
shimmering clean sound that’ll cut through just about any mix. It’s also perfect for
that 80’s “new wave” sound. Alternatively, try backing off on the treble and turn
up the bass and mids for a darker jazz tone. It’ll give you an essentially flat
response, providing a balanced tone across the fretboard for jazz chord melodies or
single-line phrasing.
Small Tweed - Modeled after a 1952 “wide panel” Fender Tweed Deluxe, this
Amp Model will snarl with the best of them. The original amp had only a single
tone control, essentially a Treble roll off. We set up the Treble knob to give you
this Treble roll off when using this Amp Model. Which left us with the Bass and
Mid knobs just sitting there. That just didn’t seem right, so we figured out a way to
put those knobs to work without mucking about with the authenticity of this Amp
Model’s Treble tone control. We set up the Bass and Mid as post-TubeTone
controls, which essentially lets you EQ up your tone as you would do on a mixing
console after recording your amp. Set the Bass and Mid knobs at halfway to put
them in “neutral,” and try the Treble knob somewhere above halfway for a classic
Tweed sound.
