Great, thanks. Yes that link works. Flexupdater can't communicate with my amp through midi though and as I can't seem to get the amp into safemode (by holding A on power up) or perform a factory reset (A and D on power up) I think I can safely say that my Flextone III is officially dead. I had it apart and reconnected some of the ribbon connectors to see if that made any difference and I even tried kicking it a couple of times to encourage it, but nothing. Thanks for your efforts though BillBee, much appreciated.

Any idea where I can download Flexupdater from? I've read that it was the precursor to Line 6 Monkey and it apparently works better with Flextones that Line 6 Monkey does. Can't find it anywhere though.

For some odd reason, when I tried the In/In, Out/Out thing, the power on my amp would not come on at all (which is some kind of different behaviour at least!). Took the leads out and the power was able to switch on again. Put the leads back in using the In/In, Out/Out test and tried to flash it but unfortunately this hasn't worked either.

Ok, just tried out the MAudio Uno and still got the same problem. Just to clarify, you need to press and hold the A button (channel select) on the Amp when switching it on to get into safe mode right? Not the A pedal on the FBV?

I know, I don't even know where to start. I like the look of the Amplifi but can't imagine it's any good under the hood. Looks like it could be all style and no content. Hey, and thanks again for your time and advice.

I'll certainly give that a try before I spend another fortune on a new amp. If it does come to that though, have you got any recommendations of something similar to a Flextone III?

Using an Edirol UM-1ex. It always used to connect no problem but no longer since all the lights on the amp came on. When I flash the amp, I can see there is data going through the Edirol (there's an led that blinks) but there is no difference after I switch the amp on and off after the flash. Still lit up like a christmas tree. Thanks for trying but I fear it's bricked to high heaven.

Thanks for the quick reply BillBee. I thought this forum might be dead! I've tried that 'A' button fix and the lights still stay on and there is no discernable difference. What should safe mode look like in terms of lights on the amp?? Line 6 Monkey doesn't even recognise the Flextone III anymore. It's the first time I've switched her on for a few years, think it might be bricked.

Did you ever get a reply to this or even find a fix? I have the same problem. All lights are on, no sound and I cannot get it to connect to Line 6 Monkey via midi.
