As the local "gear-magnet", I got a tip-off about this 2 x 12" modelling 
combo.

18 months old - £450+ new........, picked it up for £175.

Any other users out there?

Hi,
I use a flextone 3 for rehearsals.   I think it sounds great so long as the 
volume is kept reasonable.  Really simple to use just adjust the knobs like 
another amp and hold the patch button to save.  With the fbv express or midi 
you can have 4 patches stored, with one of the larger line6 you can store 
more (128??)

Does it come with a pedal at that price?
Might be worth keepin an eye on ebay - I bought mine with an fbv express 
pedal and cover for £150 in pretty much new condition, but maybe I was 
lucky?

Either way I really like it (btw my normal gigging amps are mesa triple rec 
or a fender twin and I'd happily use the flextone if one of the others had a 
problem).

Cheers
John P

Hi John,

Think you got a good price - there doesn't seem to many of them on eBay 
(unless I'm searching incorrectly) I downloaded some of the sounds from the 
Line 6 site and will be having a bash with the midi/usb. Any recommended 
tones from their site? (or any that you'd like to email me with?) ;-)

Hi Nick,

Unlike the X3L and amp farm etc - I haven't tried using the flextone with a 
pc - I just tweak it like a regular amp and store the sounds I want.

How are you finding connecting it?  Is it as straight forward as using the 
usb and gearbox is with the X3L etc?
Might be a useful idea to start saving a set of typcial patches I'd use with 
each band then load them in before setting off....   unless it's a complete 
faff.
Do you get access to some of the other parameters for fine tuning the 
effects?

Cheers
John
