Line 6 announced today the Vetta II.
Vetta II delivers a wide range of amp models, based on a collection of
vintage and modern amps, stompbox and studio effects, digital I/O, and Variax
connectivity.
Vetta II contains the entire Line 6 collection of amp models,
including more than two-dozen exclusive Line 6 signature tones. Line 6 signature tones include: Purge, Octone, Spinal Puppet, Smash,
among others. Any two amp models can be used simultaneously, providing for endless
combinations of amps and settings.
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 some that defy definition.
Vetta II is loaded with a pair of custom 12" Celestion speakers driven by a 150-watt
stereo power section. 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.
Vetta HD is powered by 300 watts (150 watts per channel stereo), and can drive its power
into 4, 8, or 16 ohms. This flexibility allows for a wide range of cabinet connections.
The power amplifier design in both the Combo and the HD have substantial peak power
capability, which provides for lots of headroom and significant transient blink factor.
Vetta II is also 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.
Line 6 will be providing upgrade options for original Vetta customers. For more information, visit their web site at www.line6.com. |
