jak_E_lee Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I am a vetta II user and was wondering about compatibility between the new variax std and vetta II. The idea of variax is great but I been told only the older model variax guitars work with vetta amps. The issue is,I really hate how the old variax guitars look(The type that have no pick ups like the v 500) The new standards ticking my boxes but just not getting the horn for the older model variax. another issue is,all the old stuff(my vetta too) only works via win XP.I just been told a new variax standard will be unable to communicate with a vetta amp which means I cant assign guitar models to specific patches,all has to be changed manually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentele Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I am wondering the same thing .... also if the new Standard does connect VDI to the Vetta will the Vetta power it like it does with the 500. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Should work fine. The VDI is same as with the other Variax's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentele Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Well Just got my Standard today (my Christmas gift to myself)... The answer is yes. The Vetta II VDI does power the standard (I didn't even install the battery) and it does switch the standard when you change patches on the vetta II. The mag pups also work via the VDI. I only had a short time to play around (had to get back to work). Will have fun tonight! So far my only complaint is the volume knob seems to be stripped .... I will call Line6 when I get home.

cruisinon2 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 So far my only complaint is the volume knob seems to be stripped .... Do you mean you can spin the knob forever in one direction or the other, or does the knob itself just feel loose on the post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentele Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 You can keep turning it after it reaches the stop. It seems to spin on the shaft. I will pull it off later and check it better. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentele Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Just got off the phone with Line6. Very nice .... they are sending me a new knob.... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
