Line 6 Flextone II

[cam-5150]

Anyone else have one of these? I have a 1x12 version. Pretty cool. Can anyone reccomend any Van Halen settings for me?

ah shoot. Wrong forum. Please move to amp modeling. Sorry. [img]images/smilies/icon_doh.gif[/img]

I had the XL which was the 2 x 12" and I loved it...but it couldn't do a good VH so I sold it for a 5150. I wish I'd kept the amp for other stuff cos it was so versatile. The Boogie settings (Dual Rectifier) was bottomy as hell but my fave was the black fronted twin reverb...excellent for SRV stuff. [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

I have that amp in the 2x12 version, 100 Watt

Ironically I don't really look for the VH sound on purpose, sometimes find something close.
Generally I play a Recto setting with reverband delay, and add my modified Phase 90 to do the trick.
TheEQ varies a lot depending on where I stand in relation to the amp or the room, so I adjust according to my needs at the time.
I hope this helps.

Oh yeah, and you can pick the Soldano model too and tweak for a pretty good F.U.C.K tone. [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

Thanks man! Also, say I buy a dunlop wah. Could I hook it up to my flextone or do I have to use an actual line 6 pedal board? (depending on the effects loop jack)

The Line6 wah is amazing! The pedalboard gives you 36 presets you can save to, a tuner, volume pedal, noise gate, time control for the tap plus an amazing simulation of a 70's Crybaby. I'd say go for the board as it'll allow you to program and save with your feet. If you can afford it, it's well worth the investment. Check E-bay for the Line6 floorboard. Also a tip for you to get a bargain. Line6 is spelt with NO GAP between the Line and 6. A lot of people type it with a gap meaning that if you look under the PROPER spelling, not many will bid and you will get a bargain! [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]
