Question LIne 6 Flextone 3

I bought this amp a Line 6 Flextone 3. I think i bought the wrong amp! i was at the guitar shop with my cousin and he said it was a real good amp and since i didnt know any better at the time i was like alright and got it. i like to play Metal and i think i bought the wrong amp. i dont really like the distortions on there. their too old school for me. maybe its just me and i just cant seem to set my amp to a tone i like. i dont think i am very good at setting settings. i would like to ask you guys for ur help and maybe with ur tips and ideas you guys mgiht be able to help me change my mind about my amp. ( i think i got the wrong one!) i got drive, bass, mid, treble, presence volume ( not the master volume) and reverb. i got other things liek delay and a bunch of effects. compression, gate, and Mod . can u guys give me ideas or tips or tell me what i should set each setting too for a tone that would be appropriate towards Metal. Maybe something like Metallica heavy if thats possible. give me some setting ideas u guys use maybe? something nice and heavy maybe witha sharp edge . anything fitting Metal just some Ideas to help me.


Thank you

Well that sucks. Kick your cousin in the balls and stay away from line 6.

Vetta I/II and HD147 are the only Line 6 products worth mentioning

i personally think the flextones arent that bad... the hd147 and vetta's are my personal favorite line 6 heads though. but the POD pro xt through a mesa 2:90 sounds pretty good too...

my suggestion is to turn of all the fx and extra goodies... then try to find some tones you're comfortable with. then maybe adjust some other features like the compressor n' stuff.. or fx if you want any.

otherwise, take it back and get a different amp.
