switched on and off when you hold the Tap Tempo button. The detail is in the Tap
Tempo section that begins on the opposite page....
Channel Volume - This knob controls the relative volume level of the
channel you are playing through. Use this to balance levels between the setups you
store in two different channels (say between your rhythm and lead setups).
Reverb Level - Pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? How much reverb do
you want today? There are two flavors of reverb that live inside your Flextone; a
TubeTone-created model of a spring reverb, and a standard digital room reverb
tone. Which one you get depends on which Amp Model you select. Generally
speaking, if the amp that inspired a given Amp Model had a spring reverb, that’s
what you’ll get. If the amp didn’t have a reverb (like the 1968 Marshall “Plexi”
which inspired the Brit Classic model), you’ll hear the room reverb. The back
cover foldout, Chapter 4, and Appendix A run down the details.
Effect Tweak - This knob will always change something, but exactly
what it changes will vary depending on which effect you have chosen. Turn it up
and something will go deeper or louder or just plain more. The speed of the effects
(delay, tremolo, chorus, flanger, rotary speaker simulation) is set by the Tap Tempo
switch (see below). For all the inside poop, look at the back cover foldout, see
Appendix B for Effect Parameters, and read the Effects chapter.
Effects - Selects which effect or combination of effects you get. Once
again, all the details will be in the Effects chapter.
Manual Select Switch - Selects Manual mode of the amplifier. This
is the basic “where the knobs are is how it sounds” amplifier mode - all the knobs
are “live,” so whatever they’re set to is just what you’re getting out of the Flextone.
Channel Select Switches (A, B, C, D) - You use these
buttons to save and recall complete amp-and-effects setups in your Flextone. By
using the four programmable channels, you can save all the details of a complete
Flextone setup for easy, instant recall any time. Thanks to these programmable
channels, you won’t ever have to waste any time when you want to change from
one setup to another, and you’ll never have to lose your “perfect” setups. The
