Vetta II is the latest evolution of Line 6’s flagship Vetta amp family. Vetta II contains a complete arsenal of amps, stompboxes, and studio-quality effects ready to be instantly wired up and tweaked to perfection at the touch of a button. Vetta II delivers unbelievably authentic amp models, based on a world-class collection of vintage and modern amps, stompbox and studio effects, digital I/O, and Variax connectivity. Vetta II is loaded with a pair of custom 12″ Celestion speakers driven by a 150-watt stereo power section, ideal for the most demanding performance situations. This is normally used in stereo (75 watts per speaker), but can also be split to provide 75 watts of one channel to both internal speakers while feeding the other channel’s 75 watts into an external speaker cabinet. The power amplifier design has substantial peak power capability, which provides for lots of headroom and significant transient blink factor. Vetta II is the perfect recording rig with its independent XLR balanced direct outs, AES/EBU and S/PDIF 24-bit/96KHz digital inputs and outputs and A.I.R. mic/speaker simulation. In addition, a direct digital Variax Modeling Guitar input seamlessly integrates Variax’s collection of guitars with Vetta II’s collection of amps, cabs, and effects. Add an FBV pedal board, and this entire setup can be transformed into virtually any rig with just the press of a footswitch.
Vetta II – Unlimited Possibilities
Features Meticulously crafted modern and classic amp models
Over 50 stompbox effects models, including filter and synth effects
24/bit/96kHz digital recording via AES/EBU or S/PDIF
Digitally connects to Variax modeling guitar
Saves Variax and Vetta setting at the touch of a footswitch
Vetta II contains the entire Line 6 collection of meticulously crafted amp models, including more than two-dozen exclusive Line 6 signature tones. Line 6 signature tones are unobtainable on any other amp and include: Purge, Octone, Spinal Puppet, Smash, among others. Any two amp models can be used simultaneously, providing for endless combinations of amps and settings with exacting tonal detail.
Vetta II also contains over 100 models of speaker cabinets, stompbox effects, studio effects, and microphones. Vetta II includes models of vintage and modern effects, as well as many Line 6 original creations. Some of these are of the stompbox variety, some are studio-style post effects, and some can fit into either group. The categories of effects in Vetta II include Distortion, Overdrive, Compressors, Chorus, Flangers, Phasers, Tremolos, Pitch Shifters, Filter effects, Synthesizer effects, Digital Delays, Analog Delays, Tape and Tube-based Delays, Rotary Speakers, EQs, Spring, Room, Plate, Hall, and effect Reverbs, and quite a few that defy definition.
Two Amps at Once
One of the revolutionary features of Vetta II is its ability to provide two totally independent amp models at the same time. You have complete control over where they’re placed in the stereo field. You can pick any two amps and pan them hard left and hard right, send one amp to a Vetta external cab, or layer them right on top of each other. Just about anything you can think up, Vetta II can do it. For an even bigger sound, kick on the Double Tracker and now it sounds like you’re in the studio ‘double tracking’ your guitar part. Once you experience two amps at once, you may have a hard time going back to just one. We did. Now, take a look at the over 70 amps you can double-up and party with.

Effects and the Kitchen Sink
From dirty stompbox distortion to studio-quality reverb lushness, Vetta II gives you models of the greatest effects in guitar history. Vetta II gives you the ability to have ALL of these effects on at the same time: Any three of 53 stompbox models, a wah pedal, a volume pedal, a noise gate, a studio-grade compressor, two types of tremolo, graphic or parametric post EQ, a choice of 21 modulation effects, a choice of 14 delay effects, and any one of 16 different reverb types.
But, what fun are a bunch of effects if you can’t hook them up in strange ways? Well, Vetta II has more routing options than even we can keep track of. You can even LOCK all of Vetta II’s modulation and delay effects to the Tap Tempo function. Now you can change the tempo of multiple delays, plus chorus and tremolo speeds all with a single FBV footswitch. But that’s not all. Here’s a quick start guide to some of Vetta II’s routing madness.
Stompboxes
Vetta II gives you any three of 53 stompboxes to go mad with at once. They can all be different, they can all be the same, and they can be ‘wired’ in any configuration you please, into either or both amps. What if you put a delay into a flanger and then into a fuzz? How about three different kinds of delay? Be different. We dare ya!
In-Line Effects
The Tremolo, Gate, Comp(ressor) and EQ buttons make up the In-Line effects group. Gate comes before all of the stompboxes while the rest come right after the amp/cab.
Routable Post Effects
The Loop, Pitch Shift, Mod, Delay, and Reverb are all part of the post studio-type effects. Just like the stompboxes always stay before the amp, these effects are always after the amp/cab. You can change the order of the post effects, the signal flow (series, parallel or chain) and even their physical output assignment. If this is the stuff you crave, Vetta II’s manual is practically a history lesson on how effects routing works.

Digital/Analog Effects Loop
While we’ve tried to anticipate all of your effects needs, you may still want to use other effects with Vetta II. Just like any normal guitar amp, you can run your old stompboxes right in front of Vetta II. If you’ve got rack gear, you can use the analog (1/4-inch TRS) or digital (S/PDIF or AES/EBU) connections on Vetta II’s back panel. The Effects Loop is switchable (from the front panel or the FBV controller), the on/off state is remembered in each preset, and you can even route the loop in series or parallel.
A.I.R. II
Vetta II is the most versatile recording amplifier in the world. The direct outputs of Vetta II include Line 6’s A.I.R. II microphone and cabinet technology. A.I.R. II allows you to choose from 3 different classic mic models, each in two different positions. The mic settings can also be saved into each preset of Vetta II.

Variax and Vetta II
Vetta II includes an ultra-rugged, locking Variax cable that is used to connect your Variax to Vetta II. This one cable (based on industry-standard CAT 5 Ethernet) provides everything needed to make the most complete guitar system ever created. The Vetta II now provides power, a direct digital audio connection, and bi-directional control of the Variax.
Each Vetta II preset can store the guitar model, pickup selection and exact position of the tone control. Plus, Vetta II can send the signal to the speakers, to the direct XLR and 1/4-inch outputs, or both. What does all of this mean? Now you can instantly switch from a single-coil guitar in the neck position with a fuzz and tape echo running into a head and 4×12 cabinet, to a carefully miked acoustic coming through just the P.A. system. Now imagine what you could do at your next session or gig!
400 watt RMS, two channel, fan cooled amplifier.
12″ Celestion (100 watts), 12″ high-excursion woofer (300 watts)
Response to 45Hz (-10dB)

The actual tones from this amp are insanely good for a modeling amp. Of course nothing will ever truly match the tone of a high quality tube amp, but I'm willing to bet that 95% of players and listeners won't be able to tell the difference between those and the Vetta.
I'm not a big effects person, so I'm not going into those, but there are quite a few to choose from, all modeled after real pedals (e.g. tubescreamer).
The amp gets loud very quickly. In my apartment I felt that I had to keep the knob below 9:00 (8:00 being silent). 10:00 and this amp is loud enough for a small club. I've been spoiled by the Vox AD50VT's power knob, so trying to get a full-bodied tone at low volumes is pretty impossible on this amp without major tweaking. Line 6 needs to put an attenuator function in this amp.
Other than that, this amp sounds truly godlike for a modeling amp.
This amp is essentially a computer hooked up to a power amp, so it has every feature anyone could want. Just to name a few, 75 amp models (80 with a free download), 12 cabinets, over 30 stompboxes, and the ability to run two amps at once. That comes to over 62000 combinations. Also has all sorts of outputs (XLR, composite, 1/4"), and inputs (MIDI). Read the other reviews here for more complete listings.
Is this good? Some people like it. For me, it was too much. I was looking for a quality modeling amp, not a library of every amp ever made.
Sadly, this is the section where this amp fails miserably. I bought mine from Guitar Center, and it was the floor model, so chances are good that it was not treated well. But it worked fine at the store and I bring it home and it produces sound 50% of the time, and when it does the sound is very weak. I don't know what's wrong with it, but if a ride in the car does this to it, I can't even imagine what gigging with this amp would do.
Reading some other reviews for this amp, I see I am not alone. Line 6 really needs to put some money into their quality control.
Overall, this amp is amazing when it works, which sadly isn't very often. If my experience is any indication, this amp will fail miserably unless it is treated like a Faberge Egg. Since operating correctly is an important part of an overall amp, I have to rate this pretty low considering its amazing sound and feature set.
Spivonious (08/01/2006)
Have all sorts of guitars. Hum-S-Hum
Here's how the LINE6 Vetta II SCORES with the following:
Metal(As I Lay Dying): Low Volume 10/10 Cranked Loud 1/10
Thrash(Thrice): Low Volume 10/10 Cranked Loud 1/10
Clean Worshipy Tones(ColdPlay): Low Volume 10/10 Cranked Loud 10/10
Rock(Black Crowes): Low Volumes 10/10 Cranked Loud 6/10
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE speakers in the cab version!!! FARTS OUT BIG TIME!!!! SUCKS TERRIBLY!
So Basically this amp is for OLD FARTS who enjoy playing Rolling Stones and for STARBUCKS GEEKS who wants thrills with clean orgasmically gay tones – not that there's anything wrong with that!
For heavy sounds this amp sucks. Sounds like a terrible FUZZ has no tight lows. Highs are VERY HARSH sounding. Your ears will bleed PUSS
Awesome at LOW VOLUMES
ABSOLUTELY VILE at LOUD VOLUMES. I HAD THE HEAD AND THE COMBO…they both SUCK BAD!!!
THIS IS A TOY FOR INEXPERIENCED guitarists who don't play in a band. LINE6 relies on this and caters this type of garbage to young inexperienced players. If you play with tonnes of effects at low volumes to hide your terribly sloppy playing, this is your thing, so get it…but if you want a good live sound…DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I'm not your traditional TUBE SNOB…in fact got my old rig back. I play through a Fender Metal Head(Solid State) with a Sonic Stomp(Sonic Maximizer) and a GT-8. Best freaking live sound cranked up!!! Not great at low volumes
It has everything you want. Dual amp mode. All the effects…execpt a hamonizer. I guess Boss has Line 6's number on this. All the ins and outs….blah blah blah
TERRIBLE. The new one I bough lost all the pixels on one vertical axis. The loner Vetta II I got while mine was being replaced had an input broken off at the back. Saw one of these with the power amp portion blown out. Another one had the top handle ripped off. The wood wasn;t strong enough to hold the handle's screws. They has to drill a new hole to put in a new handle. Would you want to pay over $2000 to drill new holes in it? NO WAY!! What a joke!!
15 years. Trust me dudes I know what I'm doing. Tone searching for over 10 years. I know my high tech preamps and muti effects units
*VETTA II – EXCELLENT PREAMP
*POWER AMP – AWEFUL…Sounds like barf!!!
*SPEAKERS (CAB VERSION 2×12) – GARBAGE (it says made by Celesions but sounds like Fisher Price's my first BARBIE amp)
*CAB DESIGN and OVERALL Resonance – Loose. The wood used is too porous (not dense enough) thus it makes the amp sound like plastic
IF you want this just get a nice rack mount PREMAP like the BOSS GT-PRO or POD PRO XT, and run it through a SONIC MAXIMIZER to a nice power amp. Hook it up to a decent cab, and you will have something beautiful
PREMAP RATING based on what I have owned in the Past!!
1. Boss GT-8 all the way baby
2. Boss VF-1 2. POD PRO XT Live was ok but limited in the number of effects you can use but has some good warm tones
3. Fender Cyber Twin
4. GT-3
5. GNX3
