Line 6 Edit on Windows 7 32bit

support@line6.com — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:33:01 GMT

I installed Line 6 Edit version 3.02(which says "This version of Line 6 Edit is compatible with JRE 6") on a Windows 7 32bit PC. I also installed the Java environment JRE 6 Update 16.

I'm getting "Could not find valid Java runtime" error message when I launch Line 6 Edit.

Any idea on how i could resolve this issue?

Thanks alot for your time,

Vetta Issues!!!!

support@line6.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:47:10 GMT

I just won a Vetta head with issues on eBay and I do not have it yet nor have I paid for it. I'm hoping not much of a problem to fix....I got it cheap, I was not expecting it to sell that low. Here are his words direct from eBay........it turns on...lights up...all menus..knobs work.....the cab has a speaker thump like its gonna work when you turn it on...but nothing comes out.....if you go out the line outs you can hear it..and record direct...but i cannot get the amped outs to work....i may be doing something wrong..it may be broken...either way im thru with messing with it....i have reinstalled software 3 times on it with no luck..im over it......cosmetically it is in great condition..not perfect...but really good...it has not been gigged with ..only studio use.

I'm thinking the external speakers are turned off since he was using it to record and for got to turn them back on. Will external speakers not work if they are turned off? Could there possibly be another problem going on here? Not too much invested so far so if it's a few hundred dollars to fix it, I'm not that concerned, I would think that if something major was wrong the direct outs would not work either.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Please email me directly at ggrinolds@hotmail.com

Vetta HD 1 vs. 2 cabinets: speakers comparison

support@line6.com — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 06:39:11 GMT

why the cabinet relative to Vetta1 HD has Custom Celestion speakers while the Vetta2 HD relative one has V30s? is there any difference in sound generation between the two heads to justify that? if yes, this difference can be overcome with the update? when using the V30s loaded cabinet you still allow CAB/A.I.R. emulation or bypass it to get the full potential out of the V30s?

i'm about buying a 2nd hand Vetta1 HD and i'd like to know if my 2x12" Celestion Classic Lead cabinet is "rubbish"...

thanx, bye

Vetta II 2x12 cabinet logo

I just purchased a used vetta II 2x12 extension cabinet and the "LINE 6" logo on the front is scratched up a bit. I noticed in the Store that I can purchase a logo for a 4x12 cabinet. Is it the same size as the 2x12 vetta II cabinet logo?

Vetta II and FBV Shortboard mkII

support@line6.com — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:30:12 GMT

Having a Vetta II and not one, but two dead FBVs I decided to check out one of the cool new shortboard mkIIs.

Before purchase things I liked:

MIDI! I've wanted a decent midi foot controller for ages for use with things like Amplitube, Guitar Rig and Sonar

Price $200 is in the sweet spot for me

Size. Though the FBV obviously has more buttons and therefore more functionality, it's really big and doesn't fit in my stuido/bedroom as well as I'd like

Updateability Can't argue with having a USB port that can be used with firmware upgrades.

Expandabilty I like having a second expression pedal.

Before purchase things I didn't like:

Quality Having two dead FBVs wasn't encouraging.

Size. Though I wanted something smaller, I would have liked the option to get a full sized mkII

So I got one last night. Here are my findings so far:

It works well. While there are plusses and minuses, overal I do really like it.

Things I like:

It immediatley worked with the Vetta -- no necessary setup or fooling around at all.

Expression Pedal. Excellent feel. Better than the FBV pedal and I can actually engage/disengage the wah while sitting.

Expression Pedal II. An extra expression pedal worked immediately with no setup or fooling around.

Programability Though I haven't explored this yet, I believe some of the buttons (Func 1 and 2 in particular) can be programmed to do different things.

MIDI. I was able to get it working with Amplitube and Guitar Rig pretty much immediately. I am somewhat of a midi expert though I so I can't speak to how easy or difficult this would be for someone who is not. You do need to at least understand the difference between control changes and other types of midi messages.

Size. It really does fit better in my playing area and the buttons are a bit more convenient for playing when sitting.

Things I don't like:

Missing Buttons. Though I can live without them, having buttons for all three stomps is annoying.

Bender. I can't for the life of me make the pitch bender in the Vetta work with either expression pedal. I may have just not figured this out yet though.

Midi not working with everything externally. While it works well with Amplitube and Guitar Rig, I can't get Sonar to work with it at all. Very disapointing.

I would give this thing a solid B+ at the very least. It has good feel and works pretty simply. I supsect that it would work REALLY well with the amps that it was truly designed for, in particular the new Spiders and anything else that Line6 might have coming.

The price in particular works well. I really couldn't justify spending more than $200 for something like this. Given that it works well with other midi pc based stuff really helps. I would love to see a version of this that had midi ins and outs. This would be killer to connect to a cyber twin or other midi controllable device.

No sound No Display

support@line6.com — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:32:37 GMT

I bought this used Vetta in January, I dont get time to play a lot maybe once every two weeks but during my minimal playing my Vetta has suffered twice with no sound no display, first time I had to initialize and load OS and presets again several times before getting it to work again.

When it happened first time, I thought my kids are responsible for something cause they like to press lots of buttons on the amp when I am playing, so now both kids are banned from touching the amp at all, but today it happened again and I am wondering is this pointing to some underlying problem, maybe I got a malfunctioning Vetta to begin with?

Any help/advice will really help.

Thanks

Midi timeouts connecting to Vetta 2 with Line 6 Edit

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:45:22 GMT

Hi there,

I have the latest firmware (2.5) for the Vetta, latest version of Line 6 Edit (3.02), Java Runtime 1.5 installed and I'm connecting to my Vetta 2 combo with a M-audio midisport uno. When starting up Line 6 Edit the Vetta is recognized but about 25 seconds into the connection process (where the Line 6 Edit is downloading data) I get a midi timeout window stating that Line 6 Edit couldn't connect to the Vetta. The message suggests checking midi connections and cycling power on the amp. That doesn't work of course.

I've tried rolling back to firmware 2.11, removing and reinstalling Java, updating drivers for my Midisport Uno all to no avail. The same problem exists.

Line 6 Monkey sees the Vetta just fine. Is there something I'm missing? I'm also using Windows XP SP3.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Problem getting flash drive update on vetta II combo

I have a m-audio uno MIDI interface cable with the latest drive version (5.2.3.016) for windows xp, the problem is I have tried numerous times to update the flash drive on my amp but when I get to the part where it is complete I hit the save button and nothing happens, I then power the amp off the on, still a blank screen. I have tried everything I can find on the web and everything else I can think of, Please if anyone has any ideas please let me know I am very frusterated that I can't play my amp... Thank You.

Problem: "Stale" ringing after notes occuring...

support@line6.com — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 19:25:35 GMT

I have a vetta 1 combo, and out of nowhere, a ringing started to occur after muting a chord or note last night. I've never had any problems with the amplifier until this. The ringing acts as though the gate is slowly stopping excess noise, but this noise was never present before. It is noticable on all distortion-drive amplifiers, some more noticable than others, but nonetheless still there. I've tried different guitars, cables, stripping down the setup to meerly the amplifer and guitar, isolated the tones down to simply one amp and no effects, etcetera. Nothing seems to work.

Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

Is it possible that reinstalling the 2.5 software and completely renewing everything will help? (With the exception of backing up on Line 6 Edit, older tones, and putting them back into the amplifier)

Thanks,

Matt Rossa

To Line6 - diagnosis for "access error" ?

support@line6.com — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:53:42 GMT

Hi All at Line6. I want to get my Vetta I Combo fixed, but before I drive 60 miles to the nearest repair center and spend $150, and since this problem is intermittent (which means the repair center will not likely be able to reproduce it), I'd like to know if anyone at Line6 knows what the problem is when the error on the display reads "access error". I'd appreciate a response, definitive if possible, from Line6. If the repair center cannot duplicate the problem, they're going to ask Line6 this question anyway. Thanks so much. thorne

UPDATE - I left my amp on for about 6 hours, plugged in an FBV Shortboard and proceeded to change presets from the pedal continuously and rapidly. I was able to reproduce the "access error" three times. I'm guessing that overheating may have something to do with it. I hope this helps you help me diagnose the problem. As a programmer for 30 years, when I get a specific error message, what I do is go search all the code for occurances of that error and see under what conditions that error occurs. Line6, if you could do that for me, I think it would be a great help. Thanks.

Problem with FBV Shortboard (Mk 1, Original Vetta Amp)

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:43:19 GMT

Hi: I went to use the tone library to update some new user sounds (first time I did this, connecting the Vetta through Midi to my computer) and, after downloading a couple of new sounds successfully, my FBV Shortboard now only reads "Line 6" when I power it up. All the lights blink, and then it reads "Line 6" but none of the foot switches work on the FBV Shortboard. Did I make a mistake using the Line 6 monkey somehow? Nothing else changed in my setup, the only difference was the download of new patches, so perhaps that's a clue. I tried recalibrating my FBV Shortboard but that made no difference...I also tried to replace the connecting cable between the amp and the FBV but that didn't help. Any ideas are much appreciated, thanks in advance!!

Stereo/Mono setting?

support@line6.com — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:22:00 GMT

I start a new one marked as question...

What is the sense of the Mono/Stereo switch?

I use my Vetta II HD with an Engl 412SS cab. I just use one amp of the Vetta without any stereo effects. So I decided to use it like my 2204 as a mono guitar amp. => Left/Mono jack and Vetta set to mono. But additional I have to set the Amp Panning of the used amp to "full left" th get the full volume. When I set it to middle, the sound is lower, Amp Panning to right causes NO sound.

This is the behaviour I expected of using the Stereo setting, just using the left output jack.

From the manual:

24. Left/Mono: These two jacks are wired in parallel and output the left signal (if
you’re running in stereo) or the mono signal if you’re running mono. Be sure
you’ve chosen the corresponding stereo or mono operation on the Vetta front
panel as described in page 4•35.

Mono/Stereo
This page also lets you choose to operate your Vetta in mono or stereo. This is generally
most valuable on the Vetta HD in case you’re using a mono setup, but feel free to
mono-ize your combo if that’s what makes you happy.

Changing Amp Panning
Whether you’re working with a single amp, or two at once, you have complete
control over where they’re placed in the stereo field. You may want to have your
two amps panned hard left and hard right when they’re both on (which gets really
exciting when you’re using separate left and right cabs with Vetta HD, or the Vetta
combo with an external cab in Split Stereo Mode as described on page 4•43), but
then when you kick your FBV switch to turn on only one you may want that amp to
be panned center. To edit your amps’ panning, press the Amp/Cab Details button.
Use the Page knob to select Page 2, ‘Amp Panning’:
AMP1 MIX sets the pan of Amp 1 when it and Amp 2 are both on. AMP1 ONLY
sets pan when only Amp 1 is on. Same idea for the AMP2 controls. Press Amp/Cab
Details again when you’re done, and this display will be dismissed.

Quick Vetta HD Question

support@line6.com — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 11:16:35 GMT

just wanna ask a quick question before i buy the Vetta II HD,

i know you can download sounds and patches on to the vetta head,

but i saw on the line 6 website that you can download all the vetta sounds at once, and then transfer them on to the head.

there are loads of sound there and the bank name like 13A or 14B, can they go over 100 so it becomes 100A or 231B i know thats a lot of sounds but i just want to find out if you can put more than 100 banks on the vetta.

also it comes with 64 factory and 64 user presetscan that go over 64 to over 100 say??? because i dont think the screen is big enough.

Thanks

Line 6 Vetta II and Midi

support@line6.com — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 09:36:45 GMT

I have posted this discussion before and my first thread is rated as answered, so I launch it again.... Sorry, but I'm quite new here :-)

If I connect my vetta II I have no problems using Line6 monkey - the device is detected immediately. When I switch to line6 edit I can't make a connection to the vetta.

After de- and reinstalling edit and java without solving the problem I have contacted ESI-support, because it seemed to be a problem with my midi usb device "ROM i/o II". They say that if monkey works and edit doesn't it indicates to be a problem with midi implementation within edit. Their advice was to buy a m-audio device if everybody says it should work then. They say m-audio doesn't use standard midi drivers and maybe line6 edit has a problem with their midi implementation. Does this sound plausible and will line6 improve their software sometimes?

Vetta 2 Head or X3 Pro and Mesa Poweramp?

support@line6.com — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 18:57:48 GMT

I'm stuck. I like the way the Vetta 2 sounds, but I need to be able play a lead, then switch to rhythm and have leads trail off naturally (reverb/delay) and not end abruptly.

So, I am thinking of trying an X3 Pro with a Mesa 400 Poweramp - The X3 is dual channel and will allow me to do what I want to do in this regard. To my knowledge, this is not possible with the Vetta 2.

Any thoughts on how the tone of the proposed X3/ Mesa combo and Vetta 2 might compare?

This would be in a LIVE setting.

My new Vetta 2 combo does not sound anywhere near as good as my flextone 3 using the same models.

support@line6.com — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 10:11:02 GMT

My Vetta 2 does not sound anywhere near as good as my flextone 3 using the same models (is running 2.5). Is this a known issue? Compared to the Flex 3 JCM800 model the Vetta version on the same settings sounds lifeless, has MUCH less gain and sounds more "digital". I have copied the settings from Flextone 3 exactly and the JCM800 in particular sounds NOTHING like my beloved Flextone, maybe this amp isn't for me. Is it using older modelling technology than the flextone or maybe not as powerful and detailed since it has to do 2 amps at once? Any help before I take this thing back would be greatly appreciated.

Vetta II wah does not save in Vetta or Line6Edit

support@line6.com — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:52:26 GMT

Does anybody know how to save a particular wah-type on the Vetta II? When I change the wah type on my Vetta II (the "conductor" is my favourite - especially with overdrive!) and save it in the channel I'm using it works fine as long as the Vetta is powered up but after switching off and on again it has always changed back again to the "Vetta wah". The same happens in Line6Edit after saving the channel. Maybe there is a way to save the "conductor" as the default type instead of the "Vetta wah"? Btw I have the latest software update vers.2.5.

Need to Replace Vetta II Combo Amp Master Volume Pot

support@line6.com — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:20:12 GMT

Greetings,

I need to replace a Vetta II Combo amp master volume pot. Can I order the pot from Line 6, or get specs for it, so I can buy one? Better yet, can I replace the stupid, pain-in-the-butt linear pot with a logarithmic (audio) pot? That is what should have been in it from day one.

My wife has a Vetta II Combo Amp with what appears to be a faulty or dirty volume pot. She'll be playing along at a low level (practicing in the bedroom) when the volume will suddenly spike to maximum. It only took a couple occurances of that to make her afraid to use it. I'm concerned that it may blow the speakers. I have been unable to reproduce her experience, but have been able to make it better for her by quickly moving the master volume from min to max a couple dozen times. I fooled around with it for a while and was able to get a minor spike while not touching the knob, to get no change while turning the knob, to get minor spikes while turning the knob, and the like.

Before I open the thing up and attempt to repair the pot, I want to know if I can buy a replacement. Replacing it would be better than tring to fix it.

I'm a electrical engineer who has been repairing and replacing pots in devices since I was a kid fixing the neighbors pong and Atari controllers. I hate the things, sure they are cheap and get the job done most of the time, but they are horribly imprecise and inevitably prone to nasty failures. I've converted most everything that I presonally use or design to Hall or optical sensors for many years. Once I get her amp fixed, I may see if there is a suitable Hall sensor out there for next time...

Thank you

Vetta goes bonkers! HELP

support@line6.com — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:35:19 GMT

Hello All

Just purchased a used Vetta II off ebay and it arrived seemingly safe and sound today. Plugged it in and everything was great, until I pressed the effects routing button. Initially after pressing it nothing happened, noting at all. After about 10 seconds is when all hell broke lose....Stomp box and effects buttons started flashing, the amp started changing channels, and it continued in that chaotic state for 30 to 45 seconds. So, that's when I started pushing all the buttons and found the Channel D, the Delay, and some times the Mod buttons all have the same erratic effect. The Gate button engages the tremolo most of the time. Amp 1 on and the Tremolo buttons don't seem to work at all.

So....I installed all updates and flashes via the Monkey.....and still no change. It seems I can make any changes to the amp via Line 6 Edit with no apparent problems.

Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Is intelligent pitch shifting available for Vetta 2.5?

Connecting Vetta to Windows Vista 64 Computer

support@line6.com — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:31:17 GMT

I "upgraded" my computer to Windows Vista 64-bit and cannot figure out how to connect my Vetta to my computer. Didn't have a problem doing so with XP. The M Audio Midisport UNO I used with XP doesn't work. I attempted to update the drivers for the UNO but M Audio's site said "This device will work as a class-compliant device. No driver is needed for basic use" with Vista 64 and that Vista would display it as a USB audio device. But when I plug it in Windows asks for a driver. I would like to use Line 6 Edit to tweak but can't unless I can connect the Vetta to the computer. Suggestions?

Also, if and when I can get the connection issue solved, has Line 6 updated Monkey and Edit to work with Vista 64 SP2?

Thanks.

Bender Problems

support@line6.com — Sat, 09 May 2009 05:17:12 GMT

Ok, so I recently got a vetta with the upgraded 2.5 firmware and the FBV Longboard. I did some looking around on the internet to figure out how to turn the bender on. I got that, but although I have the heel down shift at 0 and the toe down shift at +12, it's not quite working right. The pedal controls pitch shifting when I have the Stomp 1 on and although toe down is one octave above the pitch I play before I turn stomp one on, heel down is one whole step above the actual pitch I play for some reason. For example, if I play an open e on the guitar and turn on the pedal, toe down yields an e one octave higher and heel down yields an f# one whole step above the original e. Any help with this would be appreciated. Yes I am sure that the heel down is set to 0 pitch shift. I checked several times.

Re: Two Year Old Vetta 2 Issues

My vetta (1st generation) completely failed about two years ago. It was still working, but not quite right, when I took it to an "authorized service center". $60 for a service call and I'm told nothings wrong. So, instead of driving 50 miles, as they are the closest, I try a local tech. He can't get Line 6 to cooperate since he's not "authoized". After having it in his shop for months tring to get it to work, he suggests I try dealing with them myself. I called and hope to get a return authorization number and ship the thing back so they can fix it.The number is (877)865-4636. Good luck to both of us.

Vetta II vs. Pod X3 Pro + HD147

support@line6.com — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 12:53:46 GMT

Hi all,

I have just returned to the live scene after some years of only home work, and since I need a new amp for playing with my band, I was thinking about getting a Vetta II head.

I was almost convinced of goint to it, but suddenly I came across a good opportunity to get an HD147 and that immediatelly ringed a bell: getting the HD147 + a POD X3 pro and use the HD147 as a power amp. To my knowledge, that would be pretty much similar to a Vetta II, and like 700€ (+-800$) cheaper.

(Additionally, as I still work a lot in my home studio, that would have the benefit that I would not have to carry the Vetta head to the rehearsal room and back: I could simply leave the HD147 there for rehearsals, leave the POD X3 at my home studio, and merge them into a POD X3 + HD147 PA when I'm not recording something at home.)

So I would like to know your recommendations about this idea, and also what features and/or tone quality I may be missing when using a POD X3 + HD147 PA instead of a Vetta II. I know there is something related to stomp boxes and that cool idea of the double tracker, but I'm not sure that's 700€ worth. (Could the double tracker be simulated adding a little touch of chorus to one channel, maybe?).

(In my new band we play mainly metal from Symphony X to Annihilator, but my solo projects include classic blues and mike oldfield-like new age, so I really need tons of versatility.)

Thank you very much in advance!

Flashed my new (to me) Vetta II and now everything is gone... HELP!

support@line6.com — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 02:45:29 GMT

Hello all... I just got my used Vetta Ii in the mail today I b ought (heck of a price... $500 for the combo and FBV) and I was super excited. I figured I would update it to the latest version (2.5) and start from scratch, erase anything the previous owner used. I can get all the way through the flash process, but when I hit "save" nothing happens. When I reboot it, still a blank LCD. I've tried this several times and am really freaking out... please help!!!

ohms, and your amp?

support@line6.com — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:13:23 GMT

i need help!

okay so i dont have the vetta, but i feel like line6 is the only forum that will help me out

so im playing a blue voodoo, 120 watt all tube amplifier.
and im plugging it into a behringer 400 watt cab.

the head is 8 ohm and 16ohm compatable,

and the cab is also

Switchable 16-Ohms mono or 2 x 8-Ohms stereo operation.

okay so which settings do i want to use?

8ohm, or 16 ohm?

whats the difference?

whats the safest?

and whats the loudest?

or is there no difference, litterally.

since the cab has 2 inputs, should i plug 2 cables in?

and on the cab, one says INPUT and the other says OUPUT

why does it say this?

is there a difference between the 2 inserts?

and for me to use the stereo operation, do i need 2 speaker cables going from the head, to the cab?

and this was on the behringer site.

"Power rating: 400 Watts into 8 Ohms mono, 2 x 200 Watts into 8 to 12 Ohms stereo."

what does that even mean?

also!!

right now i have it plugged in, 8 ohms, 1 speaker cable going into the cab.

BUT

the cable is plugged into the cab in the insert thing thats labeled OUTPUT
why is this?

Updating the Vetta...

support@line6.com — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 20:18:08 GMT

Hello line6. I am writing you because, as of about 7 or 8 last night, my Vetta will not operate whatsoever. My initial beef is WHY USE MIDI CONNECTIONS to serve as update/backup ports??? It just seems too adventagous to use a USB or even Firewire port rather than TWO MIDI connections. If data throughput is better, I apologize, but I don't think that's the case at all. Now this also leads to my REAL beef. I initially thought that I had it whooped and would use the MIDI connections on the back of my Tascam FW-1084. I mean, they work awesome for transmitting MIDI data at a high rate of speed for my recordings. I tried hard to get it, but ended up calling tech support after I could not. The fella there said that IT WOULD NOT WORK, which really confused me, but OK. I guess I need to "upgrade" my MIDI throughput to my computer. I then found a REASONABLE price on a USB to MIDI cable over e-bay for $10. Now, at least the computer could tell me what I had hooked to it, and even tell me what version of software I was running. Hell, it even told me that I needed to upgrade to 2.5, which was all I was trying to do IN THE FIRST PLACE. OK. I started the install. Everything was going fine; my little "monkey" was taking care of everything. I started the upgrade, when I noticed the message on screen went to "update complete, hit start to run your software" EXTREMELY prematurely. I thought, "no way, it's just a fluke". I mean, my new little USB/MIDI even lit up when the data was being transferred. But, to my dismay, after doing the upgrade, my Vetta is now the dumbest amp head in the world - nothing comes up on the message screen, unless I hook it to the computer. Being digital and having those upgrade capabilities, as well as being able to back up anything I create on my sound to my computer is the SOLE REASON why I bought the damn thing in the FIRST place. Yeah, I'm pretty ****** right now. I am wondering, "why in the HELL did you all put MIDI connectionS on this thing instead of a good old USB port", and also, " why did my little ******* Line6 monkey allow me to get so far into the update process to where, basically I have nothing unil I get the "reccomended" cable"? Why, if you guys are going to require such a unique connection to a computer, couldn't you just put a damn cable in the box? It would've made my life a ton simpler. Hell if NOTHING ELSE send me a coupon for a few bucks off the expensive-*** cable that is required for computer connectivity. SHEEEESH!!!!!!!! It would seem that Line6 is in cahoots with M-Audio just to make a buck....

Vetta I & Vetta II - Question about Identifying model.

support@line6.com — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:01:55 GMT

Hi,

This probably seems like a stupid question but If I don't ask I won't know.

I purchased what I believe is a Vetta 1 combo. It has the silver control panel and the red grill.

From what I've found, it seems that the vetta 1 didn't have the rear variax input and that this was a feature added on the vetta II

The model I have has the variax input at the rear. Was there a couple of different Vetta 1 models as the owners manual for the vetta 1 doesn't mention the variax input.

Thanks in advance

My Vetta Killed my Cabinets

support@line6.com — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:26:10 GMT

Hello,

I just wanted to share what happened with my Vetta. I'm curious to know if this has ever happened to anyone before? I recently purchased a used Origional Line 6 Vetta Head. I wanted a Vetta II, but it was out of my price range. So I found a Vetta I for what I thought was a good price online (which was said to be in "perfect working order") . It arrived at my door, and I was super excited. I hooked it up to my computer via direct outs and set up presets, did some recording. It sounded great! So I brought my Vetta to band practice to set up my presets and jam. I hooked it up to my 4x12 cabinet using quality cables and the suggested ohm raiting. It sounded terrible, then one channel went out completely. Then all I could smell was smoke coming from my cabinet. Being naive about the situation, I ordered a new cabinet. The new cabinet arrived two days ago. I follow the same procedure, used good cables, correct ohm settings. The EXACT same thing happend, with the addition of my Vetta Head is now smoking along with my NEW cabinet. At this point I would like to drop my "new" Vetta head off the nearest bridge. However, due to the credit card bill that I have racked up for a bunch of burned up equipment. This is simply not possible. Due to the amount of time that has passed (about 2 months) paypal won't help me to get a refund from the online store that I bought the head from. The online store won't even return my emails! So now im in debt, have no gear, and Its causing some serious friction in my band. Needless to say ,I wont be jamming anytome soon.

Here's my question...

There is something majorly wrong with my vetta head. I'm guessing in the power amp protion of the head? How much will it cost to repair? The closest Line 6 support center is about two hours from me. With my current lack of funding it will be a while before i can afford to get the head repaired, let alone replace my two nuked cabinets. I'm just looking to see how much i have to save up?

Thanks,

Andy

FBV MKII and Vetta II (2.5)

I just bought a FBV MKII to use with my Vetta running 2.5 software. I am up to date with all of the latest software via Monkey.

Can someone tell me what buttons work/do not work with the Vetta. Function 2 seems to turn off Amp 1. Function 1 does not seem to do anything.Tuner works great. Can't get the bender to work. Is there really only one button for Stomp boxes. How do you control Stomp 2 and Stomp 3. How do the Modulation/Delay/Reverb buttons map to Vetta II?

The FBV MKII online manuals were not much help.

Vetta II Reverb not working

support@line6.com — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:02:58 GMT

I have a Vetta 2 hooked up to both a cabinet and directly into a mixer. I just noticed that the reverb in the signal chain is not working. The global reverb works fine. I thought it might be a routing issue, but it doesn't work out of the cabinet or through the PA. Other effects (i.e. Delay) work just fine in the same signal chain. In fact, if I turn the reverb mix all the way up, I lose all sound. Any ideas?

FBV Wah Not Working

support@line6.com — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:43:50 GMT

For some reason, the Wah and Volume Pedals on by FBV board are not working. I've made sure that the parameters for the pedals are set for wah and volume respectively, but when I move the wah or volume pedal I don't hear any change in the sound at all. The rest of the FBV board seems to work fine. Is there something else that I need to change or set on the Vetta to get them to work? I can only assume that the CAT cable is fine since the rest of the board works. And I don't see the pedals being broken, since this is only the fifth time I've ever used the board. Any ideas? Any input you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

how to intialize a patch with bender at 0?

support@line6.com — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 05:39:41 GMT

I have a patch that initializes with bender on, mix = 100%, heel = 0, and toe = -1. By pressing the pedal about 3/4 of the way I emulate using a whammy bar on a full chord, which is the only way I've ever wanted to use a whammy bar. As people know, if you want to bend a chord, even the one semitone bend makes the chord sound funny, but the effect works OK for the narrow bend I want to do.

The problem is that when I switch to the bender patch it initializes with the pedal all the way at toe (the bender bending down the full semitone) regardless of the physical position of the actual pedal. That means playing on the new patch is unusable when I first switch to it, so I always have to move the pedal and return it to heel before playing anything after switching to the patch. That's not good. I can't find any values that will initialize the bender with no bend at all, where the Vetta initially treats the pedal as if it's at the heel position regardless of its actual physical position. I've tried setting position = 0% on the Pedal 1 Settings, but since that's where you choose the wah model that setting is apparently not active when Pedal Function = bender. I've tried setting heel = -1 and toe = 0, which is the opposite of the bend direction I'd prefer, but that doesn't work either: bender always initializes bending the full semitone down, with bad musical effect. Is there a way to initialize a patch with bender active but not bending at all?

Is it possible just do the Vetta Patch Update (without the Vetta Flash Update first)?

I maybe had a bad tone. Everytime I passed the 13A patch, the Vetta hangs and no button works at all. Power off - on - just 13A, no sound no functionality . The only way to get him alive was to do the Vetta Patch Update. So I have first to update the Flash via Monkey then update the patches. Flash Update alone doesn't work.

Updating Vetta/Variax Software

support@line6.com — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:51:55 GMT

I'm totally lost here. It's been a couple of years since I last tried to update my Vetta II and Variax 300 software. So, the first thing I did was to download the latest versions of Line 6 Monkey and Line 6 edit.

I downloaded the latest Line 6 Monkey and installed it .

I downloaded Line 6 edit, but it wouldn't install because the installer program said I needed java runtime environment installed, and when I clicked OK, it said it couldn't download the JRE file. Tried again with my firewall turned off. No luck. I googled for Java runtime environment, but it wouldn't download the file. I went to my control panel -- it says I have java (version 6, build 12) installed. Is this the same as java runtime environment? No way to tell. And line 6 edit won't run because it says I don't have java runtime environment installed.

I tried to back up my user channels before running Line 6 Monkey, but when I plug my MIDI interface into the back of the Vetta II and the USB into my Windows XP laptop, nothing happens. Is there some software that's is supposed to interface the MIDI cable?

My Vetta has recently begun to stop playing when I switch between channels

support@line6.com — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 00:47:49 GMT

I have had my Line 6 Vetta for about 4 years.

Three weekends ago it began to act up and continues to do so. Here is the problem.

After playing for about 1 hour the amp stops playing when I switch between amp settings using my foot control.

The LCD on the foot control will not change and the only way to get the amp to unfreeze itself is to turn it off and then back on. It then plays fine for a while and repeats the problem.

With that said, the amp has never stopped working until the footcontrol is used for a new setting.

Before playing today, I reloaded the User bank from the systems utility. Still froze up twice in 2 hours.

Any advice?

bender leaves tone altered after return to 0

support@line6.com — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:41:42 GMT

As discussed in this thread:

http://line6.com/community/thread/14268

I have my bender set up to only bend down 1/2 step. In fact, I only press the bender pedal about half way because that's all the bending I need, and such a shord bend is the best choice for chords. When done bending, I always leave the pedal in the heel (zero) position. When I switch to a patch, the patch sounds normal, but the first time I use the pedal to bend, when I return the pedal to the zero position, the patch's tone is altered. Generally speaking, the tone sounds thinner, as if bass and other frequencies have been attenuated. It's not a massive difference that would indicate the whole system going haywire, but a noticeable (and unwanted) change in tone that's easily verified by a/b'ing. I mean, it's easy to use pedal A to switch to a patch, bend a little, return the bender pedal to zero, give it a listen, then press pedal B and back to A to hear clearly how the tone changed once the bender was used.

Is there some fix for this?

I have been told per LINE6 that the card can be found on the open market. Well,I have searched now for six months:EBAY/AMAZON.COM and most recently,I have completed my sweep of calling on the East and West Coast LINE6 authorized repair dealers. There exist no digital midi interface cards on the open market. One suggestion,you will like this one....was for me to buy a new vetta II at 1699$ and use its midi interface card !!!!!!@!!

Hello,

I have a Line 6 FBV Floorboard (the longer one with 2 pedals)

Recently I heard a weird rumbling sound inside my Floorboard.

I unscrewed the FBV and try if I could see more from the inside. I saw a screw that hade came off from somewhere, I figured out that the screw had to get back in its place

At the hole in M1. Though I noticed also an other hole that was empty but there was no second screw that I found loose.

So I looked underneath the Green mechanical board, and I saw a black piece hanging with a hole in it, witch looked liked it was missing a screw,

The black piece is attached to the Cable input device that runs above the green board.

I also found a weird white hard cloath, and I really don't know where that came from.

I really wonder what I must do with this situation, someone please help me.

I made Pictures with Red arrows showing the problems.

Vetta Stompbox Routing

support@line6.com — Wed, 20 May 2009 03:15:36 GMT

I have a Vett II upgraded to 2.5 doftware.

I recently wanted to play with the stompbox routing feature, but when I press the Effect Routing button, nothing happens! The button does not light up nor does the routing screen appear.

Could there be a problem with the amp or could it be a software problem. I was even thinking that it may be a hardware problem (for example the button is not working). If this is the case, is there a MIDI command that can kick off the Effect Routing operation.

With the Vetta II, when you download a setting from this site, does it add to the 128 stock settings or does it replace one? thanks

Vetta HD makes very string noises after some time!

support@line6.com — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 00:49:34 GMT

Hello

I got my Vetta HD 2 months ago or so, and started practicing with my band a week ago.

After some time, 1-2 hours or so the Vetta starts making very strong noises, and makes it impossible to work!

The noise comes randomly and can destroy a show easily.

One time I've looked at the Vetta when it happend and it was saying "Implemental line6 of code" or something like that, but I can't say it's connected to the problem, since it doesn't happen all the time.

If this problem continues there's no way I'm going on stage with the Vetta.

Please help!

Thanks!

backup and restore

support@line6.com — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 20:59:05 GMT

I've been trying to get this question answered for days. Maybe I was given wrong info by customer support on the phone, I'm not being understood by the folks answering the question online or I'm not asking properly. I was told on the phone that I need to backup my presets for my vetta 1 combo before I install the software for vetta 2 or my presets will get lost when it installs the new flash memory and drive. To save my presets I need to download line 6 edit. Now here's where it gets confusing. When you download edit it says to go to monkey, download latest drivers and flash memory so line 6 edit will work. Obviously I was told on the phone that if I download the latest flash memeory it would erase my presets but if I don't update the flash and other drivers I can't use the program that would allow me to save my presets. In other words the only way I would be able to save my presets is to erase them. The info i'm getting totally contradicts itself. Is there no way to get this explained to me in detail. Like step 1) turn on your computer and list the steps I need to take from there. Step by step. Please treat me like a moron. I've wasted hours on hold to end up hanging up in frustration and hours waiting for responses on this forum. It's been 3 days. Is the 8185753600 the only customer support line? Am I talking to authorized line 6 support people on this forum? A 5 minute phone conversation would probably clear all this up but I can't seem to get ahold of the great oz that seems to be line6 customer support. I have the midisport uno so I'm ready, willing and able to carry on. Thanks in advance to customer the support person who I'm confident is going to answer my question this time.

FBV wah sweep not working

support@line6.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:24:40 GMT

I have just upgraded from the FBV Short board to the FBV longboard, and the wah function on the longboard will not 'sweep' when I kick it on i hear the wah model on but i cannot control it.

the wah models on the short board work no problem.

I purchased the FBV Longboard from American musical, and wanted to make sure it wasn't a user error before i send the pedal back for a refund.

Vetta II Combo - everything works, but no sound from speakers

support@line6.com — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:40:04 GMT

I was jamming with a friend a week ago and right in the middle of playing my sound cut out. I let it sit for an evening and tried to play it the next day, same thing. I hooked it up to record and the XLR outputs and 1/4" worked and so did the modeling part of the amp. What I have now is basically an advanced, super-heavy POD and I want my amp capability back! Any suggestions as to why this may have happened??

Good sound for recording

support@line6.com — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 19:14:47 GMT

Imn geting extremely ****** off, ive spent 7 hours now trying to get the sound i hear coming from my speakers to come out of the direct outputs to record direct to my computer, ive messed with every mic in the a.i.r. , tried thenm all with all the options, ans adjusted the dir trim. and with the air mics off its just complete distorted mess.With my old flextone head i just plugged the direct outs right to my computer and bingo, there was a great sound for recording, why cant this happen with the vetta? everything is either too choppy and the bass is spiking or it sounds like complete garbage. i dont want to mess with the eqs on all of my channels because theyre saet for my cabinet to sound good. plus i did try that already and it didnt make much of a difference. im running unti the ux2 ive always used with my flextone, and gearbox is set up to have no amps, or cabs, or anything on. its just running as a monitor as ive always done. this thing should have much bettrer sound than the flextone for the price difference but it doesnt. ive been playing for 13 years and im usually pretty good with this stuff. ive always been able to get good tones ive recorded many cds before the vetta came, and they all kick ***, can anyone suggest somthing to help out here. i do not want to mic the cabinet. i just want to hear the sounds i hear when playing comeout the direct outpuuts.

Vetta II combo + 4x12 cab = problems

support@line6.com — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 23:14:36 GMT

I recently hooked up my Vetta II combo to a Marshall 4x12 cabinet and ever since I have been having problems. Whenever I jam with my band for about an hour or so I start to notice the sound quality degrading and eventually the volume starts to die to the point where I can no longer be heard over the drums. At first I thought the problem might have something to do with the fact that I was not using a proper speaker cable to connect the amp to my cab. After purchasing a new speaker cable the problem persisted. I'm wondering if it might have something to do with a heat issue? Whenever this happens the amp is extremely hot...to the point where if I touch the underside of the "head" section of the amp I can't hold my hand there for more than a second or two. Any ideas on what might be going on here?

Increase FBV Express tweak switch's sensitivity?

support@line6.com — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 04:45:39 GMT

I only play sitting down. The FBV Express's tweak switch is impossible to actuate when sitting down because you really have to put a lot of weight on it. Is there some way to increase the switch's sensitivity?

Hi there

Just had a strange experience today. The amp buttons + Save, User and Factory buttons started to flash very quickly, and the amp sounded very strange. I tried to switch to another patch using the board, but it returned to the patch and continiued to flash.

Anyone knows about this issue ?

Can I plug a vetta II head into the vetta II 212 cabinet?

Can I plug a Vetta II head into the Vetta II 212 cabinet?

I apologize, I am not the smartest person. It looks like it could be done. I don't want to burn anything out or break anything because I don't have the money to replace it. I own a vetta II head and I though about buying a 212 cabinet so I could run it through that stereo at home (when I play out I plug out to PA). Is this doable and am I treading on thin ice. Thanks so much for your time.

support@line6.com — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 20:12:11 GMT

Now I´m in deep s##t

I had some problems with a strange humming noise in my vetta .

So I tried to relfash the unit , it all looked well until the last step,

I had to push the save button but that didn´t react so I read I head to power it down and start it up again

But nothing , when I power it up I see light but no numbers or anything

Does someone have an idea how to undo this

The monkey software doesn´t see the device

IS THERE A DIFFRENCE BETWEEN 220V AND 110V IN VETTA II HD?

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 06:43:59 GMT

Hey

I'm going to buy the Vetta II HD in a couple of days, I live in Israel and we use 220V like in Europe.

I'm going to buy the Vetta from a dealer from the US, where they use 110V.

Is there anything I should know before I buy it? (I burnt a rectifier pre amp from the US because of a simiar problem)

Do I need to buy a transformer or not? (my friend bought a transformer for a Dual rectifier that cost 500$, furthermore, it's a very heavy transformer, if that's the case maybe I should consider buying straight from Europe)

Thanks
