Line 6 Chemical X (Red alternate model for �Line 6 Mood�)
Just like those secret ingredients that detergent companies used to crow about (Now! Contains Ingredient X-27!), the Line 6 sound design guys wouldn�t tell us anything about what the inspiration for this one was or who it might have belonged to (no matter what type of bribery we attempted). Suffice to say that it�s a very punchy hi-gain sound that also cleans up quite nicely when you roll your volume back.
Line 6 Insane
Imagine running your Soldano SLO-100 as a preamp for your Boogie Dual Rectifier, and you�ve got a pretty good picture of just how much sheer gain is involved in Line 6 Insane. It�s entirely possible to get completely out of control with this one, and we heartily encourage you to do just that.

Line 6 Fuzz (Red alternate model for �Line 6 Insane�)
Although not technically an amp, we felt that the unique tonal qualities of the classic 1960�s Arbiter Fuzz Face earned it a place among the amps modeled to create your Flextone�s Amp Models. This fuzz box used broad frequency, transistor-based clipping. The result is a buzzing kind of distortion that has become popular again with the alternative and grunge set. Jimi Hendrix was among the �rst guitarists to popularize the Fuzz Face in the States, but our model is considerably dirtier than the tones found on �Are You Experienced.� Try playing �Satisfaction� by the Stones, or the lead from �American Woman� by The Guess Who. Liberal use of the Bass, Mid, and Treble controls will let you go beyond the tones that the Fuzz Face could deliver, enabling you to discover your own unique recipe for those elusive fuzz tones in your head. Just a note: when recording Purple Haze, Jimi didn�t even use an amp � he just went straight from a Fuzz Face to an Orange power amp to a 4x12 cabinet. Which is the same sort of tone you �nd here....
