My amp's memory is wiped clean.

So I bought this Vetta used and as-is I love it! I was showing it to some friends and I told them that I need to find out how to reset it to factory presets because I'm sure that sitting at Sam Ash for a month it's been tweaked! Well, one of them pressed the comp button when turning it on and now it's wiped clean. No presets or anything. My question is: What are my options so I can use the amp again? Can I buy a new floorboard and it will update the amp or, do I need to get software for my computer to transfer some presets back in to the amp?

Re: My amp's memory is wiped clean.

there is a reset you can try and possibly a reflash you can do at the bottom of this document: http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-4499

      The problem is I have no way to transfer it to the amp. Basically I saved up money for a long time to buy an amp and well... Hehe. I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles? What would be the easiest method to get my amp up and running again?

        get a usb midi cable if you don't already have one, that's how you would transfer the tones as well as attempt the reflash.
        i would recommend the m-audio uno that runs about 40$ because that's the one that line6 tests with.
        if money is real tight you can pick up a usb midi device on ebay or elsewhere for a little over 5$

        Awesome! Thank you so much! I'll go and pick one up this weekend. Also, would I need any sort of program or just d/l the patch I want and when I plug the amp in it'll start the transfer?

        you'll definitely want to make sure you install the drivers for the USB midi device.
        then you will need to get line6 edit: http://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=5250
        this program will allow you to send those tones, as well as edit them to your liking.
        you might also reflash to restore factory presets, or to upgrade (the last and final version is 2.5 if you don't have it.)

        So I bought the cable and my amp works! However, it's a different patch and the Mesa/Boogie sound on there is was different. Is there a way to get an older patch? The patch I had was "Dual Rectifier" and now it's "Treadplate".

        unless they were saved.... no... that patch may have been created b the original owner...
        you can still try some other tones from the custom tone site.

        First, I appreciate ALL of your help! Second, how would I go about transferring from the custom tone page to my Vetta combo?
