You really get the most out of your Flextone with a foot controller. Two different
foot controllers can be used with your amp: Line 6’s
Floor Board and FB4.
FLEXTONE HD OWNERS, LISTEN UP: After reading this chapter, be sure to
also spend a bit of time with Chapter 7, which covers all the important differences
between the HD and the Flextone combo amps, including foot control features.
U SING THE F LOOR B OARD WITH THE F LEXTONE
Using the Floor Board with the Flextone lets you access many features of the amp
that are not available otherwise. This all-steel chassis, oh-so-stylish foot control
wonder gives you plenty of stuff: A volume pedal. A wah pedal with a Crybaby-
style toe-down on/off switch so you can kick the wah effect in and out. A built-in
chromatic digital guitar tuner. Stomp box-style on/off control of your Flextone’s
effects. Extra banks of channel storage, so you can store more of your own custom
setups in your Flextone. Plus, 16 additional preset channels already loaded with
monstrous tones programmed by the incredible tone mavens at Line 6 right after
they finished writing this manual.
If you haven’t already discovered the back panel foldout, get set for a surprise. If
you have, go ahead and jump to the next paragraph. Still here? Alright – flip to
the inside back cover of this manual. Hmm, looks like the cover is all folded up.
Unfold it, and hey, presto! It’s your very own Flextone road map. The idea is to
have this handy pictorial reference always opened out while you’re breezing
through this manual and becoming an expert on all things Flextone. The boxed
numbers throughout the following text refer to the fold out illustration.
Getting Connected
So, how’s that Floor Board work, exactly? Well, the very first thing is to plug it
into your Flextone with the handy cable that came with your Floor Board. We
recommend you turn the Flextone off first, but you do whatever you feel like – it’s
your amp! Then, plug in your guitar, turn on the Flextone (scared you, didn’t we?)
and just press that Volume Pedal on the far right side of the Floor Board ( ) all
the way forward so you can hear something.
