Hey guys. I'm looking for a good, versatile 2x12 combo. I play mostly metalcore, and stuff like that, but I also like to have a great clean tone. I was thinking of getting a flextone III but I'm not sure if this is the way to go. What other 2x12 combos can you reccomend? Thanks in advance. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

line 6 does great modeling tones, but as to there amplifiers, it seems there power sections break down alot and if you are gigging it wouldnt be that reliable. I would say get 5150 combo but the cleans arent the greatest on them. Maybe try getting a used pod, power amp and a 2x12 cabinet -

Carvin MTS3212
Used Carvin Legacy
The Flextone III is a great choice. The bad stories are regarding the 1st gen Flextone's and the very early Flextone 2XL's before they changed the transformers and the speakers. They come stock with Celestions now.Comment

Make sure when you get your 5150 combo you get the roadie option. It is a hidden option so you have to ask for it.
Don't forget. Its REALLY important. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]Comment

Have you played a marshall latley? Sad thing is the Line 6 does a great marshall and then a million other tones. Oh and dont give me that crap about how the line 6 will never compare to a tube amp, only about 10% of musicians would truley no the difference and the difference is so minor that your audience would never even know.
Line 6 gets bad raps from tube purists who think if it doesnt have a little shinny thing that glows and needs to be replaced then it is crap! Tubes only BIG advanage is at high volumes the power section sounds warmer and better, but with line 6 and enough wattage on the output power you never have to worry about that problem.
Each kinda of amp (tube or solid state) has there own little advantages over the other, but i tell you, in another ten years i bet you will see more amps like line 6 on stage then you will pure tube amps. Everyday line 6 come closer to perfecting there sounds.
And i dont know about where you play, but pretty much everyplace i ever goto they mic the amps and actualy having a tube amp hurts you in small club situations since they get pissed at you as soon as you start to turn them up a little.Comment

The MTS3212 has a several things going for it.
1. It is affordable (especially used)
2. It sounds great
3. It isn't heavy and is very easy to carry around
4. Its LOUD if you need it.
5. It has the best clean channel of any 100w high gain amp I have ever heard.
I sold my 5150 combo and bought a MTS3212 to replace it. The 5150 was killer but just too big and heavy, plus the clean channel sucked and I really like a good clean channel.Comment
