model designations, and the names of musical artists and groups, and effects, are all

amplifier tones produced using Line 6’s TubeTone modeling technology. The TubeTone

 

 

modeling technology provides the Flextone Series of Digital Guitar Amplifier Systems

 

 

with a wide variety of sounds and effects modeled after some of the most popular sounds

 

 

of the classic amps, effects, and artists mentioned here.

 

 

Jazz Clean - This Amp Model is modeled after the classic Roland JC-120. This transistor amp was known for a strident clean sound and built-in stereo chorus. When using the Jazz Clean Amp Model, try cranking up the treble for a shimmering clean sound that’ll cut through just about any mix. It’s also perfect for that 80’s “new wave” sound. Alternatively, try backing off on the treble and turn up the bass and mids for a darker jazz tone. It’ll give you an essentially flat response, providing a balanced tone across the fretboard for jazz chord melodies or single-line phrasing.

SmallTweed - Modeled after a 1952 “wide panel” Fender Tweed Deluxe, this Amp Model will snarl with the best of them. The original amp had only a single tone control, essentially a Treble roll off. We set up the Treble knob to give you this Treble roll off when using this Amp Model. Which left us with the Bass and Mid knobs just sitting there. That just didn’t seem right, so we figured out a way to put those knobs to work without mucking about with the authenticity of this Amp Model’s Treble tone control. We set up the Bass and Mid as post-TubeTone controls, which essentially lets you EQ up your tone as you would do on a mixing console after recording your amp. Set the Bass and Mid knobs at halfway to put them in “neutral,” and try the Treble knob somewhere above halfway for a classic Tweed sound.
