VettaII is REALLY expensive - it's the most expensive product from Line6 - but unfortunately i have never tried any of Line6 gear.

I have a Variax and it is an amazingly versatile guitar - add a Vetta or a Pod and you can switch variax patches along with the amp patches. This ouwld be a killer combination if you need to switch from say twangy funk to heavy distortion between songs without changing guitars.

From what I understand ZenTera is the studio amp.

Line6 amps are in my oppinion good, but my advice is too buy something more specific-sounding and try some pedals. If you wanna record, buy toneport, but don`t buy a Vetta only for that. FOr playing loud you have great other amps. I don`t know what sound are you looking for, maybe if you write it I`lltry my best to help you out man. Cheers:)

+1 with MickeM - ZenTera is an amazing modeling amp but expensive - about 1.5 -2 times the price of the Line Vetta ii. I've tried the Vetta etc and had the same impression as Alex - sounded fine for a while but were rather sterile over a longer period.
David if you want an amp for recording but if it doesn't have to be a modeler then there are some very good preamps from Engl - the 530, 570 and 580. All do a compensated out for recording. 530 is about 450Euros and so probably about 500 USD, 570 would be more like 1500USD and so on. All the Engls are, I think, valve and the 570 and 580 are midi compatible. Similarly there are the Recording Rectifier and the Triaxis from Mesa that are worth a look.

Another way would be to buy a tube amp and a speaker simulator, this way you could play the tube amp with your headphones and record with it without having to mic up cabs and such. Palmer makes good speaker simulators, but I know some people who use tube amps with their PodXT's speaker simulator
Hope this helps -Toni -------------------- Gear:
