If you’re the proud owner of a Flextone HD, this chapter’s just for you. While the
Flextone HD is much like its combo amplifier brethren, there are important features
and functions that set the HD apart. They are detailed herein:

PANEL
If you look closely, you’ll notice that the illustration on the fold-out back cover of this
User Manual is basically exactly the same as the front panel of your Flextone HD. The
only difference is that the HD has a big light-up power switch on the front panel (the
combos have their power switches rear-mounted).

The rear panel of the Flextone HD is where you see the real difference between the
Flextone combos and your Flextone head. Because of the much higher power
capabilities of the HD, it includes large heat sinks and fans that are not found on the
Flextone combos.
