Published on 03/14/13 at 01:10Transistor amp head 200W digital simulation
1 input jack guitar
4 speakers outputs (mono or stereo [2 left / 2 right]) in 4, 8 or 16Ohms
Two unbalanced jack outputs for sound or other
2 balanced XLR outputs for sound or other
1 input and 1 MIDI output
1 RJ45 output for pedal control
1 input and 1 output jack for effects loop
All settings and effects to see in the manual (by the way, this is not a textbook, it is a bible given thickness!)
48 OR 80 amp simulations with the 2.5 update
24 OR 28 speaker simulation with the 2.5 update
3 types of micro (on axis and off axis) or 7 solutions (with the solution without microphone)
94 effects
Factory 64 presets (customizable via MIDI only Line 6 Edit 3.0)
64 customizable preset Users
UTILIZATION
Strangely, it is expected settings very complex when you consider all the capabilities of the beast, well NO!!
Everything is intuitive and well thought through line 6 and it is even easier using the Line 6 Edit software!
For the lazy who do not want to spend hours adjusting their sound (because yes, it is simple but with so many possibilities, there flies hours) on the Line 6 site in the customTones, may have loaded directly into the head sounds settled by other guitarists using a Vetta!
You can adjust and save up to 64 sounds on the head and up to 128 MIDI sounds
Everything is ordered banks of 4 presets banks representing 16 per section.
Another cool thing, you can superimpose two amps at once and set the PAN to stereo.
The effects can be placed exactly where you want in the chaining effect.
Ability to output sound only on your speaker, only the direct outputs (ideal for studio recording in silence where live, directly from the PA and need speaker on stage! Digital magic). This can of course choose to balance the sound AND the speaker (or speakers because you can connect to 4 simultaneously) AND direct output!
Live can control everything via the footswitch Line 6 making a gain considerable space on stage. In passing, mention footswitch + cable for RJ45 because the answer is very fast and in case of trouble, there is this cable into any computer business (attention, take only the right cable, the cross does not work).
Anyway, I recommend you see the manual (downloadable in PDF on the site builder) to see all the possibilities because I ais not say a quarter and I have a hard time organizing my opinion so head Line 6 Vetta is complete and wide!
SOUNDS
Suitable for ANY style of music. It emulates Marshall, Vox, Orange, Mesa Boogie, Diezel, Engl, Bogner, Soldano, Hiwatt, ... whatever the style of music, your sound is always there!
I did a test with my head Mesa Rectifier head and Line 6 emulation Dual Rectifier on the same settings, same speaker, the result is impressive, I have more grain Mesa on Line 6 on the Mesa same!
It sets all parameters and SURPRISE! Line 6 offers four general settings that affect the sound output as follows: Volume (yes, you say happily, but some amps are not equipped ...), adjusting treble and bass adjustment reverb! All this is very practical depending on where you play, you keep your settings and you just make a small adjustment for THE SOUND PERFECT!
In the studio, live stereo outputs offer many opportunities and speaker simulation and micro help taking very clean with a great sound.
OVERALL OPINION
I use since January 2013, I have tried a lot of heads, transistor, hybrid, a lamp, simulation ... I have not found better than the Vetta!
+:
* The number of connectors
* All possible sound
* The ease of use as Live in Studio
* The ergonomic digital display
* The tuner precise
* The settings and updates computer via MIDI
* An effects loop that can include your favorite pedals to the many already
* The choice of impedance 4, 8 or 16 Ohms
* The 4 speakers output mono or stereo
* Breakdowns preset banks per bank of 4 presets
* Choice of his favorit
* SOUND simply
* No lamp, no maintenance and most importantly, EVEN ITS whatever the room temperature or the number of hours of flight of the beast (which is far from the case of a lamp amp)
-:
* No support for the Variax (only Vetta II) but personally I do not need
* No USB port (but not disturbing when you see all the possibilities)
* Does not beer distributor ... well one of the only things really missing ^ ^
I highly recommend this amp to everyone! and I said that this head has nothing to envy to the head lamp, not even in terms of "warm sound" (recurring argument among "fans tube amp"). Because, after comparison with my Mesa Rectifier, I decided to sell it to keep the Line 6 Vetta!
To Finish: I do not understand why Line 6 stopped production of the series VETTA or why there is more news updates ...
