variant of the Flextone Drive. The Drive knob acts as a blender control – fully left
you’ve got big bottom 21st Century Clean, and fully right you’ve got paint-peeling
Ultra-drive. Set it anywhere in between, and you get to have your cake and smear
it all over your audience, too.
Fuzz - Although not technically an amp, we felt that the unique tonal qualities
of the classic 1960’s Arbiter Fuzz Face earned it a place among the amps modeled
to create the Flextone’s TubeTone Amp Models. This fuzz box used broad
frequency transistor-based clipping. The result is a buzzing kind of distortion that
has become popular again with the alternative and grunge set. Jimi Hendrix was
among the first guitarists to popularize the Fuzz Face in the States, but our model is
considerably dirtier than the tones found on “Are You Experienced.” Try playing
“Satisfaction” by the Stones, or the lead from “American Woman” by The Guess
Who. Liberal use of the Bass, Mid, and Treble controls will let you go beyond the
tones that the Fuzz Face could deliver, enabling you to discover your own unique
recipe for those elusive fuzz tones in your head.
