InsideYour Head: THE FLEXTONE HD

INSIDE YOUR HEAD

THE FLEXTONE HD

If you’re the proud owner of a Flextone HD, this chapter’s just for you. While the Flextone HD is much like its combo ampliﬁer brethren, there are important features and functions that set the HD apart. They are detailed herein:

FRONT PANEL

If you look closely, you’ll notice that the illustration on the fold-out back cover of this User Manual is basically exactly the same as the front panel of your Flextone HD. The only difference is that the HD has a big light-up power switch on the front panel (the combos have their power switches rear-mounted).

HEAT SINKS AND FANS	7•1

The rear panel of the Flextone HD is where you see the real difference between the Flextone combos and your Flextone head. Because of the much higher power capabilities of the HD, it includes large heat sinks and fans that are not found on the Flextone combos.

THE HEAT SINKS CAN BE HOT (THAT’S THE WHOLE IDEA OF THEM – THEY DISSIPATE THE HEAT THAT THE FLEXTONE HD GENERATES). BE CAREFUL TO KEEP AT LEAST 3 INCHES OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE FLEXTONE HD AND WHATEVER IS BEHIND IT. DO NOT TOUCH THE HEAT SINKS WHILE THE FLEXTONE HD IS OPERATING OR WHILE IT IS COOLING AFTER OPERATION.

FANS AND WHAT MAKES THEM GO

The Flextone HD’s back panel fans protect it from overheating when you are driving the unit to its maximum power output levels, or using it in high temperature
