This amp has servered me well, I still use it extensively for live performances as well as recording. I bought it back in 2004 and it's still going strong.

The paragraph below is basically the same review I posted on Musicians Friend back in 2006.

This amp has all the features I've ever wanted and a lot more. If you're a mad scientist type that likes experimenting, then you will love this amp. If you're someone that doesn't like messing around with a lot of knobs and settings, then this is not the amp for you, buy a Fender twin or a Marshall half and be done with it. While the Vetta II alone offers a lot of capabilities I do recommend the FBV floorboard and Variax guitar if your budget permits. The value of being able change your amp and guitar models with a single click of a footswitch is worth the price of admission IMHO. Before I had the Vetta II and Variax I can't tell you how many times I wished for this capability while switching guitars between songs at a gig. The only issue I've had with this amp is it's susceptibility to power surges. It used to reset itself on me during rehearsals but since then, I've always plugged it into a surge protector and it's never reset on me during a gig.

Let's face it -- no amp can do everything. But the Vetta II comes close. Yes it is pricey, and yes it has so many features you need to do your homework to really utilize them all...

...but don't trust me... trust your ears. Take your favorite guitar out to try this thing. It truly is my "get rid of all my other amps' amp. My only complaints: it's HEAVY, and I wish they had put the knob for the preset patches on the right hand side -- although you lefties will be happy for once!

Other than that, I highly recommend this amp.
