I had the same dead battery issue.  Once I replaced it everything went back to normal and was communicating with Line 6 Edit.  Also, I have the V2.50 software uploaded as a .SYX file so you can no longer worry about using Monkey to get the software into your amp.

This is the firmware for V2.50 in .SYX format for the VETTA 2 amp head.

Hi all,  I Finally figured out how to load the VettaComba_2_50_vtf file.

 I had to put a Windows XP computer back together out of five trashed systems, and load the Monkey 1.16 for the Archive download page at Line6.com.  I used the UNO midi device with the correct drivers recommended by line6 back in 2009.   The Monkey still would not see the vetta but had a tab that allowed me to select a local .vtf file upload and sent it out midi to the vetta.  

 

The line6 Monkey 1.16 popped up the step by step procedure and in 30 minutes I was up and running.

 

Later versions of Monkey in Windows7 and Windows8 will not have the local file select option so you will not be able to do this, I went back to 1.36.  AND!!!!!     since the vetta is brain dead, no Monkey or Line6Edite will ever see it.

 

Now since my Vetta Combo is fully function and has a new 3 volt battery,  I dumped all the Syx files for backup so in 8 to 10 years I have to change the battery again, I will not have to depend on the .vtf file.  Plus when changing the battery use a snap socket for a 2032 battery.  I pulled one off an old AMD motherboard and it lined up just right.

I used the tool Borne's SendSX to build and load these files.   Let me know if you need them by this blog.

PS:  Line6 will have the file VettaCombo_2_50.vtf to Email but I never got a good answer on the Monkey issue, I had to hope that my idea was going to work for me.

Hi Simmonske,

I have a VETTA 2 HEAD and the battery died and I am in need of the .SYX files for the firmware update to V2.50.  This version ran flawlessly and now I need to get my amp back.  If you could help me out I would greatly appreciate your help with any and all information you might have.
