* Lovely combo 150 watts (2x75), as you can see we are dealing with the heavy. Beware, however, some websites offer the old version (2004) which only 100 watts. So remember to check if you buy by mail order.
* Connectivity ultra complete: a standard jack, a headphone jack, 2 XLR outputs, 2 Speakers, 2 MIDI outputs, loop 4 (2 send / return 2) and an output Eternet pedals (which should therefore only has the s FBV Series of Line 6, however, all pedals are compatible). It can download new presets via a MIDI card or midi interface / usb.
* 32 amps modliss! (Marshall, Peavey, Soldano, Fender ...)
* Rglages standards: Drive, Bass, Mid, Treble, Prsence, Volume Chanel, Master Volume
* Echoes and delays: Tube Echo, Tape Echo, Analog, Digital, Ping Pong, Sweep Echo, all with an adjustable precision crazy
* Effects: Tremolo, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, U-Vibe, Rotary, the more adjustable with high precision.
* Small addition: The noise gate, which can, if you DSIR, delete or attnuer little background noise when your guitar is inactive or in your mic positions.

Short of incredible opportunities because we have never toured the sounds. Needless to say, the effect pedals are useless! (Even the effects are modeled on the Ibanez and Boss pedals!)

UTILIZATION

* The configuration is rather simple and instinctive, anything surprising at first. It quickly finds the right note, and some factory sounds are really good (also modeled on the classical pieces of rock: Elvis, Beatles, AC / DC, Hendrix ...)
* The use is simple and effective, even for Line 6 habits that will not dpayss a Spider, or a version of prcedente Flextone
* The manual is ultra-complete, if you do not have the french manual you can download on the site of line6

SOUNDS

* Playing both in the clear on the saturated fat mtal via its low-distortion, I never t's in this amp. This amp is perfect (but really great!) For vintage rock from 1950 to 1970, but it is also very well with more modern genres (I use it for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, or Nine Inch Nails)
* J'volue on this amp with a Fender Stratocaster, a Les Paul Gold Top Ibanez Artcore and one that fit all three perfectly. No need to add special effects, most are already there. I just added a Digitech Whammy Wh-4 and we have the full range of its hacker;) To benefit fully, it is better to choose as the FBV shortboard pdalier (bank of 32 sounds, pedal whawha, Control volume, channel selection 4, disto, activation / deactivation of reverb, effects ... Anyway, a note on AudioFanzine dedicated to him ^ ^)

* The sound is really powerful and pleasing to the ear, worthy of the greatest marshall.

OVERALL OPINION

In short, a sick amp, complete, powerful: gnial! It is placed well above the amps I've tried so far (Peavey, Marshall, Kustom, Spider II). The Flextone III XL is access to the sound and power for a pretty decent budget (in the same rsultat marshall is 400 more ...) recess, we should not be r forging new technologies, or cost the speech of old guitarists borns (Supposedly this kind of amps 'dnature' sound = S What bullshit!)
In short: the Flextone Marshall is what the camera is numrique booth. There is frankly not ahsiter. For guitar beginners, or not yet confirmed, still want tater of Line 6 and modlisation, I would recommend the amps like Spider.
