I have the Flextone 2 amp also. The amp has a dedicated recording mode
(which switches the speaker off I think).

You need the correct cables (XLR at the amp end to whatever your soundcard /
mixer has).

I personally run mine to my mixing desk and the mixing desk to the soundcard
(since I can then swap between different instruments (drums, bass, guitar,
vocal without having to keep connecting \ disconnecting leads.)

As always read the manual.
