17Extension Cabinet (on the Flextone Plus only) - This connection is for the Flextone Cab or other 8Ω speaker cabinet only.

18 Foot Pedal Connector - This jack that looks like a telephone 2 • 5

connector on steroids is where you connect the Floor Board or FB4 foot controller. If you have a Flextone HD, be sure to see Chapter 7 for more details on foot control capabilities.

19Effects Send and Return - HD folks, see Chapter 7. For all

Flextones, effect send and return are pre-Master Volume. The send can also be used for a line out connection in live situations where you want to use the amp for an onstage monitor, and feed the sound system for the main room sound. When using the send as an output (instead of the Headphone/Direct Out) the cabinet simulator will be bypassed, so you may want to use a direct box. On the Flextone Duo, Plus, or XL, the send and return are stereo. On the 1-12” Flextone, they are mono.

USE THE RIGHT CABLE!

When hooking up your effect send/return, be sure to use the right kind of cable. With a regular Flextone, the effect send and return are mono, so you should use a mono cable. With the Flextone Plus, Flextone Duo, or XL, the effect send and return are stereo, and you should be sure to use a stereo cable to connect them to other devices. If you are connecting the Flextone Plus, Duo, or XL to a device with separate left and right inputs or outputs, you’ll want to use a standard “insert” cable, which gives you a single stereo quarter inch connector for the Flextone end, and two mono quarter inch connectors for the two ins or outs of your other device. HD people, see Chapter 7.

Note: If you use a mono cable with a Plus, Duo, or XL, you will only get one side of the signal on the send, and when using a mono cable for the return, the returned signal will only be fed to one of your Flextone’s speakers.

And note: You probably won’t want to use stomp box-type effects in this loop, as they aren’t usually designed to take line level signals. Most likely you’ll want to plug your guitar straight into the stomp box, and then go from the stomp box to the Flextone’s input.
