M ODELED A MPS : W HICH A MPS A RE M ODELE D ? 3 • 2 T w eed Blues - The classic Fender Bassman 4x10 combo was the amp that started it all – instant rock and roll tone. Originally a bass guitar amp, the Bassman became a Blues staple for 6-string guitarists.
M ODELED A MPS : W HICH A MPS A RE M ODELE D ? 3 • 3 Modern Clas s A - The Matchless Chieftain, which was studied for the Modern Class A selection, is a very expensive handmade amp.

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.

F LEXTONE E FFECTS : O NBOARD E FFECTS 4 • 2 Chorus - Y ou’ll find two different chorus sounds in the Flextone. Chorus 1 is modulated by a square wave, so it sounds more like a “rack” type chorus. Chorus 2 is modulated by a sine wave with more feedback, so it has a richer harmonic content with more movement.
F LEXTONE E FFECTS : O NBOARD E FFECTS 4 • 3 sounds. Most times that you use Dela y , th e Effect T w eak knob controls the Delay level. In a final moment of brilliance before finalizing the Flext.

Y ou’ll note that th e T ap T empo control generally sets the delay speed - Delay/ T remolo is the one exception to this rule.
