Line 6 Vetta II HD

TRANSISTOR digital amp
details refer to the card manufacturer

UTILIZATION

Given the possibilities of the beast it seems to me not very complicated to use
I did the test in the store so I have not been able aprofondir n

SOUNDS

Amp very versatile multi purpose very complete
very good clean sound but I haven t and totally convinced by the distos
some are bad but to others may be lamentable, but it is a matter of adjustment
by against the possibility of two different simulations is interresting stereo

OVERALL OPINION

This device seems to me Exess expensive compared to the result
e 700 a year less than would have been not too bad
we are far from the lamp that I think will be a day EVER emul perfection
I have no confidence in the not too soliditbr /> j I prefer rabatre me a whole rack system lamp

Totally agree with the opinion of AL31 ... and I have done more than try this head hastily in a store ... because I possde for 2 years!

Transistor amplifier
modlisation Amp
Go to the site of LINE 6 for all technical dtails
Power 300W (2X150 W Stereo)
All connectors are available: direct output jack, XLR and SPDIF)
Rglages infinite (that's 2 years that I have and I am discovering every day new sounds)
Many effects trs, trs comprehensive, high quality
I think sincrement as LINE 6 boasts that it is actually the most volumes the amp in the world!

UTILIZATION

SETTING THE part amplification itself trs simple: it's like an amp "traditional"
As against the multitude of effects, speaker simulation, decision-sound microphones (the studio), possible routing of effects pedals etc ... that it should really take the time to try all possible combinations to arrive at its sought-.
The advantage of this amp is that wealth can also become a inconvnient ... because we always try new combinations!
But when you start the matriser bte, about the results we get fabulous ... even for heavy distortion!
As against the distorted sounds plant are not all the top ...
It is better to tweak your own sounds.
The user manual in French is perfect!
Trs trs complete and well explained

SOUNDS

By DEFINITIONS, share the wealth of amp simulation and infinite possibilities of bte ... Obviously should all styles of music ... and fortunately, as it is when m I view this type of amp!
I play it with an Ibanez JEM and a Marshall cabinet 1960, it was on with a baffle in MESA or ENGL V30, would sound even better ... but it is (much) more expensive!
Now that I know use it, I get all kinds of sounds: sounds trs clear, crystalline and Fender Twin Reverb sounds ... or saturated RECTIFIER standards, or ENGL BOGNER!
It's standard!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years (APRS what I was told I t one of the first to have it in France)
I sold my 9200 + MARSHALL Systm JMP1 to buy this amp ... and I do not regret that choice at all!
The only point that I will ngatif this amp is its price: even around 2100 euros ... although it has down the price at which I had bought and ... this must be added the cost of pdalier SPECIFICATIONS LINE 6 (for me the FBV longboard 550 euros) to optimize bte

To see the line6 site, which I find quite complete ...
résumé in anything is possible, or at least I have not found my limit except crativit ...

UTILIZATION

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">The configuration</span>
configuration is quite complte and bushy, and dpart I had a little trouble finding a good killing its staff, particularly at each turn of a button we enter another world ...
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Do you get a good sound easy?</span>
I&#39;m not done I downloaded pRSET chi, on behalf evocative (suffocation statch ... ..) and I look how they taient organiss then I kept the rglages INTERESTED (at dpart, I found a good sound distortion, then APRS rglage a good effect for the pan, then the combination of these two amps ... ) and I built my sound in layers! (You must come rgulirement Forums)
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">The manual is clear and sufficient?</span>
The original paper manual (I bought in Germany) is in English but the site I found it in French, but it is clear trs (c&#39;tait to dig points individuals, such wide ...).
You have access to many software that allow you to do stuff:
* Monkey to Upgrade or Rollback (the kind I prfrais 1.10, the 2.5 ... I click, I read, and it rgl)
* Edit for patches (you save all the Vetta, you test configs)
* Workbench (for the Variax)

10 because there is nothing to say

SOUNDS

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Is it your style of music?</span>
I am a jack of all, but I prfre the metal (the heavy-rock, death metal), and that&#39;s why I find this mind-blowing head is that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the only limit is your crativit!</span>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?</span>
I jou with many guitars (Jackson randy roads, ibanez saber, Bc rich American custom, dean, washburn ... and plenty of other liabilities / assets), it is logically set up the patches according to the type guitar (EQ, Comp ...)
I bought a Variax dernirement (CHRE least 400 Euros, to test!) The beginning and that&#39;s the end for other brands because I russi get sounds good trip (Black Label Society, Meshuggah greasy kind ,...), especially one that supports the foot (I also have the large FB) of all your configuration changes (amp / guitar / tuning ), the only problem is that the guitar work two days, and I in May 2006 of rcuperer (thank you milonga) ...
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?</span>
You can do anything, I just found that the baffle is Determines because I have a cabinet maker in (the house) and I get very nice sounds, but I play on a local Hugues, and it muttings not support ... but given the price of both baffles line6 I&#39;ll wait before I make the icing on the cake!
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?</span>
There are many, I find new sounds every month ...
upgrades are determined to, at least for me, for the sound of the amp to change before the 2.5 sound from the 5150 silent emul really well (like Entombed / Dismember / At the Gates playing on mdium, until Strapping Young Lad / In flames ...) Now it&#39;s less bleeding, but still well ...
I have a little <span style="text-decoration: underline;">trouble with the gate,</span> (which RPET) does not allow me to cut the feedback loop,

7 for sound because I&#39;m boring.


OVERALL OPINION

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">How long have you use it?</span>
I use it for a year and a half, I bought in Germany, because I find that in France we fly everyone on everything (the stuff, taxes, the price of disks ...)
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">What is the particular feature you like best and least?</span>

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">the most:</span>
* Sounds
* Weight (not ngligeable when you move often ...)
* All-in-one (amp, pedals, effect)
* The rglages (which I do not see the end)
* The connectors (possibility of Re-Amping, easy recording possibility to connect 4 speakers)
* The Majsa are nol as gifts (we went from a 5-wha wha pedals, with new amps, delay ...) and has all free! I know that can give you brand has!
* The community (or its amne each grain of sand, which means that now we have a beautiful dune, with lots of pRSET for everyone, so those who find no happiness, I think they will never be happy in their lives)
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">
Cons:</span>
* Determines the Majsa (problem Gate, reverb)
* Line6 in France?? (Milonga told me that there was in England)
* It lacks an intelligent harmonizer,
* There is no competition equivalent to a dynamic CRER
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">
Have you tried many other models before acqurir?</span>
I tried a number of amp (mesa, Hugues, peavey, marshall ...), but the choice of unlimited crativit I chose, rather than me caught in a particular sound ...
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">
How do you report qualitprix?</span>
unbeatable, but I would like them to fall further to take turns, one for home, this story m&#39;vite to carry around non-stop ...
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">
Exprience with, you will do again this choice?</span>
YES YES YES
Between us, I think the future is in the modlisation is cheaper (from 2000 Euros per head 50 that mule, and one which alone s&#39;mule 3000 Euros) is practice (live and studio sound you have, even if it&#39;s Roger the road makes you sound) proof is with the Meshuggah / Mnemic ... and opportunities associated line6 (the Variax is ugly but you sound) ...
it is clear that the purist who lug around their head lamps as if the c&#39;tait nitroglycrine which You Save 2 years to realize that most n&#39;tait done everything that the l &#39;they wanted ... I believe tastes change (and I like too many things to say "I am well dsormais this sound," line6 invented upgrades, and free the crativit that everyone of us ...

Edit 2009: I SELL MY HEAD WITH YOUR PEDAL LONGBOARD Cables + ...

Digital modeling amp HD.
The floor is power transistor.
2 X 150 W
Built-in effects and chainable as you want. (Ability to place compressors, Leslie, UVibes after the amplifier stage!) Hello to the wise ...

UTILIZATION

Usage is relatively simple interface with Mac or PC for the construction of sound is more detailed, a lot of shortcuts on the amp itself where its appearance a little factory but handy.
Quality manual pro, very clear and even with a few touches of humor. All emulations are explained and the visuals copied amps are attached.
The manual is written by sound engineers, the settings are the most accurate detail.

SOUNDS

I use it mainly for blues, rock, some pop. As its clear that saturated the extreme.
I play it with a custom home electronics form LP with a Variax 700.

This is the HD (24-bit, 96KHz) is a designation that involves us not in the audio world, hear this amp on a good headphone monitoring or in a room with a correct and sound you will hear this does that mean!! It
We really heat lamps.

Mixing clear / distorted is really accurate, the threshold where the sound will die can be configured with certainty, it was for me the great inconvenience of the lamps, you never know how they will be moon!.

Most purists will tell you that emulation is not really faithful to me in comparison to an AC30 is true, it's not exactly the same pile of hair but I also played on another AC30 WHICH was not the same sound as mine!! by year, cabling etc ...
Certainly there is no musty smell that little burned that they could have on our good amp veil after a few hours IWHM but ...

Being able to mix two amps are great because you can take the advantages of each without masking the other. The greatest guitarist using this technique (including SRV)

OVERALL OPINION

I own this head, longboard pedal and the body line 6 (4X12) for almost 4 years.
I had a 63 year vintage AC30 pure rigid cable insulation fabric wax too capricious. I sold it.
I have a Gibson Lab Series L5 (BB King) I am also very happy but it is not very strong and exceeded its third volume does not ring very well.

My favorite is the transportabilitée and easy to implement given the number of pedals and amps that embeds, so the power cutter that allows me to use it gently while keeping the warmth of his (the other band members are happy too!), the fact of change and guitar amp with a single tap at the bottom and the open tunings on the guitar tuning and even a lot of things, not to mention the I do not know yet ...
The price is very reasonable given the opportunity.
I sold a few guitars that have been tried on this amp, the guys wanted to come away with the amp!
It is precisely the end of the expenditures that we regret later (pedal served three times in the back of the closet ...).
What is a little confusing is that it is no longer the object that makes you that but you are the victim. (?!).
It is better to think carefully about what you want and take time to build a few tweaks and go.
