well blue, you and i both know someone with a flextone. again i needed a monitor to hear it over my drums. i personally wouldnt touch it with a 10' pole. every line6 i've ever played with was lacking in volume and needed other things to get me to hear it over my cymbals. that was with the 4x12 pointing directly at me as well. when i started jammin with dennis again, he showed up with a solid state ampeg. no monitor needed, the cab was off to the side, and pointing away from me. it still made my ears ring and i could hear it good over myself. i think this man's problem is not the use of solid state, but the use of L6. sell that thing to some newb for too much money, get a real head, dont get sucked in by colorful flashing LEDs, as most amps worth their salt dont have anything like that. we're talking about an amp, not a christmas tree here. i've never cracked open a spyder or a flextone, but i'd be willing to bet the output stage is the same thing. the flextone just has more flasy bells and whistles on it's front end. at the end of the day in my experience, i've never seen either one produce the proper volume as a stand-alone halfstack
