Flextone™ III Frequently Asked Questions:

Are the FX taken from the stomp modelers?
The premium Effects are taken from POD® XT. They include models of based on the Echoplex, Space Echo, Uni-Vibe, Phase 90 and others.

Is it loud?
The Flextone™ III uses an all new power amp developed for Vetta™ II, and refined for Duoverb®. This new amp has a whole lot more headroom, (thanks to a much bigger transformer) for improved dynamic response, and models the way a tube power amp interacts with a speaker cabinet. Combined you get a punchier, more organic and toneful experience.

Any new amp models?
Oh yeah. Check out new models based on* the Marshall® Silver Jubilee head, Cornford mk50h, and '63 Fender® Tweed Vibroverb.

Does it jive w/ the old Floorboard™ and FB4™?
Sorry, new FBV™ and FBV Shortboard™ only.

Can I transfer my Flex II/Pod 2.0 sounds to it?
Yes. That’s just the beginning of things that you can do with Line 6 Edit™ and CustomTone.com. Go to www.customtone.com to get all the details!

What are the dimensions of the Flextone III amps?
Flextone™ III, Plus, and Cab: 24" x 18" x 11"
Flextone™ III XL: 29" x 21" x 11"

What's new in the update?
The cabinet models are completely re-voiced. The direct outputs have been redone using new models of some of the best mics and pre-amps on the planet. The added authenticity, clarity and tone that these world class front ends provide is simply incredible. The U-Vibe and Rotary models have been tweaked up! The U-Vibe got its lumpiness back, and the Rotary had its bottom end cleaned up.

The Diamond Plate model had a small tweak to improve the authenticity of the bottom end. The model based on the JCM2000 TSL was replaced with a model of the JCM2000 DSL with a few special tone tricks. The rig we modeled belongs to Matt Scanell from Vertical Horizon. It is his studio rig, for which he takes out a duplicate set live. The JCM800 model was replaced with a model of a 80's-era 100W JCM800 with a simple Bogner mod for high gain. The amp we modeled sounds incredible. This is just some of what you get when you update your Flextone III.

How much does the update cost?
Nothing!

How long does is take?
It takes about 10 minutes to complete the update.
