Vetta II vs. JC-120 with GT-8

[ABSOLUT CHARVEL]

this is something i was kind of wondering due to the soild state question. i have the Roland combo and i am a happy camper with it, but i was thinking what i'm i missing out with the Vetta that my Boss and JC can't do? or what are the advantage of either over the other? does the Boss have a more to offer that a Line 6 as far as modeling? at least i think the JC can do a better JC than the Vetta

effects-wise, the GT-8 has a great acoustic simulator, but otherwise on effects you're about even.

the main difference is that a properly dialled in Vetta will sound more like a tube amp than your solid state JC-120 will.
there is headroom in the Vetta's stereo output and digital modeling plus cab sims that normal solid state amps don't have.

I thought you were talking about putting a GT-8 in front of a Vetta II!! How freakin' effects overkill would THAT be!

I'm using a GT-8 with a Peavey JSX. Best of both worlds, IMHO. If I need some specialized amp model that the JSX itself can't emulate, I can get it from my GT-8 and run it through the clean channel.
