A New Concept In Guitar Amplification
Ever hear a guitar sound that's just "huge"? Maybe a tiny tweed combo, with just the right mic technique? Maybe a modern high-performance stack with a couple of stompboxes and a rack of studio effects? How about both amps at once? Whatever sound you need, Vetta delivers. Simple, complex, and all points in between.

At Vetta's heart is Line 6's latest generation of modeling technology, which allows for each unique model to be built with as much care and attention to detail as the crme de la crme of hand wired amps. Every carefully analyzed and modeled tonal element contains all the dynamic interactive details crucial to tone and feel. Even such unique sonic contributions as aging transformers and filter caps are now captured. The result transcends technology and simply delivers an amazingly toneful and expressive experience that has to be played to be believed.

Each of Vetta's 64 user channels is a complete tone rig, simultaneously giving you a choice of any 2 amp models, 2 speaker cabinet models, 3 stompboxes, and a full range of studio quality post-amp processing like reverb, compression, pitch shift and EQ. And if you're recording or connecting straight to the house, the Vetta's stereo XLR outputs even let you add your choice of microphone models to perfectly capture your tone.

The optional FBX** pedal board is like having a crew of roadies ready to wheel out an entirely new collection of gear and hook it all up - in time for your next read more note. The large backlit display shows you where you are, and the rugged steel stomp switches and twin expression pedals give you complete control over where you're going.

Features
I digitized version of just about everything that comes with a guitar setup.
Quality
People complain about the relability of this product. Well, they have to realize that this is more of a computer than an amplifier. Treat it like a computer and the problems will be minimized.
