Just picked up a Line 6 Flextone - the original Mark 1 with no midi/USB etc.
Bought as a rehearsal/grab'n'go type thing to save carting the Bogner and its personal Eco System around.
Need a bit of time to get used to the amp models etc but I must say that within 10 minutes of me setting it up at last nights rehearsal, it sounded great and bloody loud too!!
Not expecting it to outshine anything valve, but credit where credit is due and for the money you can now pick these up, its a little bit of a no brainer..
Anybody else like these or is it more a case of an accident waiting to happen :-)

The flextone did sound good but I could never use it with a band as I literally had it running flat out and it wasn't loud enough (5 piece band, very loud drummer!)
If it had been loud enough I might have kept it but I went straight back to valve amps after that.

Well, it won't replace the Shiva for gigs, but in a rehearsal situation, it'll do just fine.
A read of the manual has actually helped as the tone controls for each model react differently so that will help for setting it up for next rehearsal..thinking of just using the Brit Blues which is based on a JTM45 (which I had for a while and got used to dialling in) with various levels of gain and just leave it at that..
Thanks all again for your valuable inputs and it sounds like I could have done a lot worse for the money I paid for it...and I nealy bought a Spider (which the same guy was selling)..glad I didn't!!
