Vetta Cabinet Question

[skorb]

Seriously though I don't plan on buying another amp after the Vetta.

believe me, you won't need or want any other amp once you get the Vetta.
the thing kicks so much ass it's not even funny.

OK so the big sale is tomorrow. I'm feeling that the consensus is I should get the Line 6. Any last minute opinions?

OK, I'll throw an extra wrench into it, since we're giving last second opinions.

Do you plan to gig with your vetta and cab?

If you do, then ignore what I'm about to say.

If you just want a Vetta for the home or studio, then consider buying a Vetta combo which comes with the line 6 cab of course, and also think about buying a non line 6 cab. The vetta allows you to double track and do two amps at once. It's optimal to have two cabs, not one. But if you're not going to gig, what's the point of shelling all that dough on one head and two cabs? If you're just staying at home, are you going to crank your Vetta all the way up? I don't think so.

For the home player, the optimal set up is a Vetta Combo and another cab. If it were me, I might look at the Avatar or the Randall with either Greenbacks or 30s.

The way I see it, you could easily save $400 this way. A combo will cost you 700 on EBAY, 300 for another cab and 250 for the longboard.

Nah this is definitely a gigging setup. Although I did consider getting a combo and just adding an extra cabinet later for gigging situations.

You're right about that. A Vetta head and a 4X12 cabinet would be overkill for a home rig. Not that it's not done and that it's not cool. It's just that I wouldn't do it.

[Bryan]

Well I changed my mind.

I thought about the price ($500 after tax for a cab plus around $800-$1000 for the head, depending on the deal) and decided to go with the combo. What I'll do is pick up a used combo from ebay and add a 2X12 cab whenever I come across a good deal. That way I still have a Vetta and I still have 4 12s, which would make it home worthy and gig worthy at the same time.

Plus it will be a lot easier to carry a combo and extension cabinet than it will be a 4X12 and an amp.
