Using Line6 Edit with your Flextone III XL
(Intermediate)
By ajmee on 06/30/2008
Not only does the Line6 Flextone III XL sound great out of the box, it is also infinitely tweakable via an application called Line6 Edit - a tool that is freely downloadable from Line6's web site at http://line6.com/software/index.html. The purpose of this tutorial is to illustrate how to get started with this powerful utility.

Use a MIDI interface to connect your PC to the MIDI jacks on the rear panel of the Flextone. Remember that the MIDI In port from your PC connects to the Flextone's MIDI Out (and vice versa.) See the picture for an illustration.

Download the Edit application from Line6's website http://line6.com/software/index.html and install on your computer. Note: the Java 1.5 Runtime is required; Version 3.00 of Line6 Edit is not currently compatable with JRE 1.6. The Line6 Edit installer does contain JRE 1.5 for your convenience.

Fire it up via Windows' Start Menu, or via a desktop shortcut created during installation.

If you hadn't done so already, connect to Line 6 Monkey and ensure that your Flextone has been registered and that the amp is running the latest-and-greatest firmware.
