Members Chrisjd Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 They make a model with vintage 30's. Are they any good? i can get one for $500, brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members koen77 Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 i think guitarbilly used to assemble them when he worked at line 6, right ? They seem high quality when you look at the specs. I would buy one if the price was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members diocide Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 You can get a lot of decent cabs for 500 bucks. I'd look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hotcakes Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 They're pretty badass cabs. I routinely use one to jam, speakers are flat, but they're not V30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mandooks Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 I had a vetta cab I bought used for $100. Very well built. Sold it to the guitarist in my cousins band about 4-5 years ago and it's still very solid. Beat to hell from numerous gigs and a couple tours but still very sturdy.

Members Mike LX-R Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 Billy says the Vetta cab was built very well with 4 modified CL80's that were flattened just a little bit more. He says he designed it, I believe him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NinjaRaf Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 Comes with V30s...Id guess its probably a pretty solid cab, but man...500 seems like a lot, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i were to have splawn ship me a v30 cab id be spending $1050. These sell for $700 new, so i thought $500 would be reasonable. I got a hookup on a brand new one.Here is the cab: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Line+6+-...8529&cp=1&lp=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danut Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 A couple of weeks ago, I made a side-by-side comparison between a standard Recto 4x12" and a first version, custom Celestions equipped Vetta 4x12". I fed one channel of my KT88 equipped Fryette 2902 power amp into the Recto cab and the other channel into the Vetta cab. FYI, there were 98W of tube power per side! While the Vetta cab was somehow flatter, the Recto had way more volume, and tons of ballsier low end. To have the cabs pushing equal amounts of volume, I remember having to set the volume controls of the power amp on 9 o'clock on the Recto and 11 o'clock on the Vetta. Of course, the Recto also had those mids some people hate, some people love. For what I want, the Recto was definitely better, but I could see how a Recto hater would appreciate the Vetta cab. Construction-wise too, the Vetta was pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members peavey_impact Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 The vetta cabs were great. Weren't the speakers called Celestion MOD 100's or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mesa/Kramer Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 Get a mesa V-30 cab used for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chaos2767 Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 Mesa recto cabs and roadking cabs go for that price on CL and are far superior! IMO, I would get either the Mesa or a Marshall 1960 cab for 300 off CL. Also, the Line 6 V30 cabs are Chinese celestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's not bad for a new cab. But I'd expect to see used v30 cabs for CL for around 300z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
