THE FLEXTONE HD COOLING FANS WILL NOT TURN ON UNTIL THE AMPLIFIER GETS HOT –

THIS IS NORMAL.

Excessive heat that turns on the fans can occur because of high output volume settings, intense stage lighting, outdoor weather conditions, and other high- performance factors. The cooling fans in the Flextone HD are specially designed to turn on only when the temperature inside the amplifier rises above a predetermined point. This insures that the fans do not produce unnecessary noise during recording situations, or times when you’re playing at low volumes. Handy, huh?

EFFECTS LOOP

The Flextone HD Effects Loop allows you to hook up external effects and processors to the HD. Send and Return are both stereo, on tip-ring-sleeve jacks, and you can choose between Series and Parallel operation.

In case any of that sounds like a foreign language to you, we’ll take a second here to hip you to some “effect loop application theory,” and details of hooking everything up.

Effects loops let you send sound out of a device (like the HD) to another device (like a rack mount effects processor), and then loop it back again, feeding the now-processed sound back into the thing that the unprocessed sound came from. Like when you want to add an echo to your guitar sound, or maybe you want to compress it.
