ramadio Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 The Vetta II technology has been time-tested and is still well respected today. Sure, the Helix has been our flagship technology for the last five years, but I'm curious to hear if Line 6 plans to keep building products based on the Vetta II technology. Amongst other products, the PodXT, the Amplify and the Spider V all share the same Vetta II algorithms. But there's features unique to a PODX3 that cannot be replicated in a Spider V and viceversa. Would a stereo version of the Spider Jam --perhaps featuring dual signals-- sell well these days? I really think it would --at the right price! Thoughts?

cruisinon2 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I think that the odds of any company in the modeling game continuing to introduce new products based on nearly 20 year old algorithms, is about the same as FedEx bringing back the Pony Express.

ramadio Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 :) I love the paralell! However, what if that tech still sounds good? Not for flagship products, but for more affordable mass produced goods that don't need to pay back to R&D. I'm sure Vetta II based agorithms give BIAS a run for its money, or not?

andywasa Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I have the Vetta II and I still use it. It delivers incredible sounds. I also, have AmpliFi 150 and I really like the patch sharing community but I am not impressed with whats flying around. I know the modeling technology is advancing but do you think the Helix provides significant improvements over all their legacy products enough to upgrade? Thoughts?

There's a youtuber that thinks the Spider V 240HC is an updated version of the Vetta II. The algorithms might be better in the Spider V, but the components and materials of the Vetta II are more on the premium side compared to those in a Spider V. Would love to hear them side to side. The Catalyst on the other hand, has Helix algorithms in it. Worth a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
