yeah it just wasnt for me, has some great sounds, but over all i mostly play my XTC so i am happy with that.

To those that love the vetta, more power to you, just not for me, to many bells and whistles when all i need is a guitar, a amp and i am happy.

I'm with Sig. I considered a Vetta. Got a POD XT Live thinking this was the answer. A couple weeks later bought a Bogner and have never looked back. Now I will only use my XTL for practice because it's easy to carry. No digital equipment will ever replace my Bogner or Mesa. It's just not the same.

For me, modeling definitely has it's place. That place is next to me right here, on my desk.

If I'm standing up, though, I'm standing in front of a 4x12 and hot glass.

That's just the way I roll.

Ahhh, the tide finally recedes...

Tubes are what guitar is all about kids...

I like the 'feel' of tube amps, the way they react, but i like the flexability of modeling. I dont play big gigs, or many gigs in general, so modelling lets me dial in stadium size tone at bedroom levels, which i love.

Cleveland Metal - not to derail - what band(s) do you play in?

Although I appreciate your response but let me translate your above comment in "car terms":

"I'm with Sig. I considered a Z06 Corvette. Got a Honda Civic thinking it was the answer. A couple of weeks later I bought a Lamborgini Diablo and have never looked back. Now I will use my Civic for commuting because its good on gas. No 130hp economy car will ever replace my Diablo or my Ferrari F50. Its just not the same."

DUH.......

i'm thoroughly enjoying my XTL through the tubes of my mesa stilleto.

The Vetta is a very good amp and thinks it reacts alot like a tube amp. These amps have come a long way and playing in front of non musicans and actualy even most novice up to some pro musicians, I think they would never know the difference.

However having two of the amps they model i noticed just little differences that were enough for me to not want it and keep the real things. However if i didnt have these amps i would probaly be in amp heaven with the Vetta. By the way the Uber is almost dead on, actualy i think the vetta's version has more bottem end (could be because of the loudness setting) and just as much or more gain then the actuall head.

I might regret selling it down the road, but for what i play i am happy with either my XTC or my uber and if i need a bedroom amp i can just plug my POD 2.0 into my home stereo. See I still have modeling going on, just prefer tube for live.

I've said it before. I'd honestly try the Vetta if I was in a cover band that reproduced every artist & song with accuracy. It's the perfect tool to cover a variety.

+1, If i was doing the cover band i would be the same. However I either have to sell one of the bogners or the Vetta, and like i said I would rather keep the tubes.

And you know if i was recording or had my own home studio i would keep the vetta in a minute, great tool for that.

Currently just back doing my old cover band, Paradox, doing classic metal. Stuff like Slayer, Savatage, Maiden, Queensryche, Dio, old Metallica, Ozzy etc.

But, it's just some reunion shows as the singer drives me mad. We'll soon be morphing into a slightly different situation with a new and improved singer shortly and proabably a name and slight format change.

That's cool, man. I asked because I used to live in NE Ohio and gigged up there semi-regularly in a few different bands, but it was in the originals scene with bands like NDE, Runt, Cold Hand of Christ, etc. I was just curious if you were playing with any of those guys.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread discussion.

Very cool John! Do you have any way of recording some clips?

(staying out of the vetta vs tube thing for awhile, anyways)
