THAT’S USING YOUR FEET: USING THE FLOOR BOARD WITH THE FLEXTONE

Distortion

The Distortion on/off switch works kinda like a distortion pedal. With a distortion pedal, you kick the Distortion on, and your sound is more distorted. You kick it off, and your sound is less distorted. Same thing here. What this does in actuality is increase the Drive of your Flextone. Distortion always can add more Drive to your sound, even if the Drive ( 4 ) knob is already crammed up to max. Thus, finally, you can get everything turned up louder than everything else.

Drive/Boost

Depending on when you buy your Floor Board, you may find that the Drive/Boost switch is just labeled Drive instead. What gives? While the switch does control Drive on our other Digital Guitar Amplification Systems, on the Flextone it is actually setup to give you a Volume Boost. Our users asked us to put in this kind of

6 • 6 capability – an easy to use volume boost/cut control – so here it is. The idea is that you can use this for a “lead boost” when you want to get a bit of extra volume and jump out over the band, or a “rhythm cut” when you want to drop your volume back a bit – like when you switch from lead to rhythm parts. With Drive/Boost on, you’re getting the full, boosted volume. With Drive/Boost off, your volume is backed off a bit. In light of all this good stuff, newer Floor Boards label this control Drive/Boost. Of course, we fully expect that those “vintage” Floor Boards will be highly prized in the future because of this.

EQ

The EQ on/off switch will kick in a presence boost of 3-6 dB, depending on which amp model is chosen. The abbreviation “dB” stands for decibels, a measure of sound volume. A “presence boost of 3-6 dB” is just a fancy way of saying your sound gets a bit brighter. In keeping with our attention to amp tone detail, the frequency range covered by the presence boost varies according to how the original amp that we modeled had its presence circuitry set up.

Trem/Chorus

The Trem/Chorus on/off switch lets you kick your tremolo and pitch mangling effects (it says chorus, but it’s really chorus, flanger, tremolo or rotary speaker) on and off. Light on, effect on. Light off, effect off.
