Save the Vettas, Jenk2k! Here's my story; I bought a Vetta Combo last year and I just loved it! It came with the longboard. I read enough of the manual to quickly duplicate the rig I had been using for years; Carvin Quad-X > TS100 tube power amp > Randall Jaguar cab with Celestion G-12-65s, plenty of effects, both in the rack and on the floor.. ( the Carvin has six effect loops and I use them all...). I thought I'd found the Holy Grail of Amplifiers, and I just kept on programming sounds for specific songs, well, I guess you know the drill.
I used it at one rehearsal, and the band was just amazed. I was so happy with it. I had a Vetta!!
Unfortunately, the amp worked for a total of four days. I turned it on, played a tune, and hit the channel switch, then...nothing. What? What happened? I looked at the screen and it read "ADDRESS ERROR" . Great, "what's that" I wondered. Turned it off, then on, nothing. ADDRESS ERROR still showed. I can hear the amp come on, so I think the power amp section is OK.
I called the party I bought it from to ask if this might be a recurring problem. He gave me a cable to connect to my computer (midisport ? not what it is called) and I ran the update process, but it did nothig. The only change is "ADRESS ERROR" is gone now, and the screen shows bars.
I called Line 6. Let me say gently, I am NOT PLEASED with the fact they no longer support the amp. I do however believe it's a great piece of equipment. Like I said, The Holy Grail.
No service is available in my area, my local tech can't touch it. I called a Boston shop, they were...vague...So now I can either find someone who can fix it or sell it for parts.
I'm in one of those little New England States, as well as the the state of dispair. I'm not sure where you are, if you are buying, or repairing, too. I would like to get the amp fixed; I only played it for FOUR DAYS when it quit, and that short amount of time I had a ball with it. I clearly see its potential.
Please let me know what can be done, if anything.
Here's hoping for the best...
Thanks
