The all new Flextone III has amp tone from Line 6's flagship Vetta, effects adapted from our award-winning MM4 and DL4 stomp box modelers, 16 classic Reverb types, and our exclusive A.I.R. II direct recording technology. Get serious about your tone.

Simple, Versatile, Powerful Flextone III.

Amps & Cabs
Flextone III's soul is its remarkable collection of Amp and Cabinet models -- resulting from the meticulous study of a dream collection of vintage and modern amplifiers and cabinets. Flextone III features 32 groundbreaking amp models built from the same amp technology found in the flagship Vetta amplifier. We've even added all new models based on* a 1963 Fender Vibroverb, Bogner Extacy, Cornford mk50h, and a 1985 Marshall Silver Jubilee.

Effects
Against the Line 6 accountant's better judgment, they took the liberty of adapting a bunch of great stomp box models from the MM4 Modulation Modeler and DL4 Delay Modeler pedals, and stuffed them all into your Flextone III. You'll get instant access to models based on* the Maestro EP-1 Echoplex, Roland Space Echo, Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, MXR Phase 90, Uni-Vibe, and Leslie 145. There's even a dedicated read more Compressor and Gate. And it doesn't stop there. They've even added 16 classic reverb types ranging from Plate and Chamber to vintage Spring.

"Cleanest amp I have used, but lacks the one feature that influenced me to buy it."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I am not satisfied. I am looking for a buyer so I can get the FlextoneIII - Plus. Saved a buck and didn't get what I needed.
Sound
Lots of effects and the cleanest sound I have heard from any amplifier. Very powerful considering the modest 75 watt rating
Features
Has everything EXCEPT: There is no XLR out on this model. I was disappointed to find I had overlooked the lack of the very thing that made me want this amp. The Plus & XL have it.
Quality
I feel this amp is quite well built. I find the controls on the rear to be rather inconvenient. Using the 2 button footswitch, sometimes I can't tell exactly which setting I am on without walking back and looking down on the amp. My amplifier sits at a rather acute tilt against a stand used for PA. It is partially covered up.
Value
Worth it if you use several different sound settings. Not for someone who doesn't want to experiment or only uses one setting.
Manufacturer Support
I must rate them the best because I have not had to contact them for support.
The Wow Factor
Nice smooth lines. Sexy
