Great advice so far--thank you. Still have a few questions if anyone can offer a helping hand.
Okay, I've decided that if I get one, I'm going to go with the head. Per Dave at Avatar speakers and various opinion sites, the Celestion G12H80 speakers are what the Vetta cab has so loading my cab with these at his special price will work great. That's $180 instead of $599--works for me!
Now, I know I want the Vetta II; however, the Line 6 website advises that the Vetta I is fully upgradable to the Vetta II. Can anyone tell me what, if any differences, besides the cosmetics which I don't care about, I may run into that could make a difference between buying the version I and upgrading it or just buying the II?
Do they both have USB ports for instance? Are the electronics so different that the same patch will sound different from Version I to Version II? I don't care about the wattage because I'm going to use it mainly for recording but I don't want to have to buy any extra equipment to connect it to my computer. Things like that.
Thanks again guys. I know most of us swear by tube amps but for the small budget I have (you know, sell what you've got to buy the new thing) it seems this amp would give me tons more than my current setup, which for 70's thru 90's garage band to semi pro standards would be awesome. Hell, I saw Kansas from the second row in 1983 and one of the guitarists was using a blackface deluxe propped up on a chair!!! And not even a nice chair, one of those chrome and black vinyl cafateria chairs. This was in a 20,000 seat arena by the way, not a club. How 'bout that! And it sounded great!
Anyway, I have zero experience with modeling amps so I don't know what to look out for. I appreciate in advance any advice.
