Thanks for your reply,

so I think I know what was "repaired" on the amp, its the left LCD, I took pictures and it shows some messy soldering,

now questions is this, where can I get a Vetta I board and if Vetta II board will even work on this?

I need Line6 PCB 35-00-0106, I know Line6 wont sell to me direct but can they at least tell me if they have it so I can ask local service people to order one?

Line6Miller,

Thank you very much,

as you know I got in touch with Customer Care person who after consulting with you transfered me to parts, where I was talking to a lady who took down my information and said the person in charge of those parts will get back to me, she was filling information my ticket and somehow during that I got disconnected, but I am sure I will get a call from Line6

for those who think Line6 support doesnt care, let this be a lesson

Thanks again.

p.s. latest update on amp, the left LCD that shows bank number and tone name is now blank but amp is working fine, I am using FBV to read tone names/bank information

I feel your pain, dont feel that cause you are in Italy you are suffering, I went to two different repair techs and they couldnt help me, its just this Vetta is old and finding parts for it is near to impossible. Vetta is pretty old, so they stopped making parts for it, I doubt if you can even find all parts for Vetta II, cause Spider Valve and DT series pretty much replaced it as well.

I was very frustrated with my Vetta problems as well, this amp sounds so good that it hurts to see it dying . I dont know how, but this amp is still working for me except I dont see anything on left LCD display (this is where you see tone name), since I used FBV footboard I can see tone name on that so this doesnt bother me a whole lot.

Line6 people were great to me, they offered to fix this amp for free, but I was afraid to even move it as it might stop working again. I said I will only move it when I will find replacement for it, so last weekend I bought HD500, hopefully this will produce the tones I was getting through Vetta, still trying to understand it, my initial impression is that rock/metal tones are no match for Vetta but warm, overdrive and clean tones are way ahead of what Vetta offered, one thing I already miss is double tracking feature from Vetta, I dont know why I am so lazy to actually record a second track producing that different attack/accent/delay feel that you get with double tracker.

I think reason they put all Vetta's processing on just three or four boards cause its easier to fix (basically replace the board, instead of using soldering iron to remove/add defective parts), that makes sense when parts (boards) are available but now is a nightmare when they discontinued them.

I wish they start making replacement parts again. I wish they bring Vetta back again, mainly for recording people like you and me, and maybe introduce 1x12 option so one can play/record at home as well.

btw, I am searching internet/ebay every now and then for defective Vetta or parts for sale, maybe I will get lucky one day and find just this board from another Vetta, if I find anything I will let you know as well.
