The effect can be more than subtle, and definitely helps increase the depth/size of your tone.
Special Notes:	Reverse Delay
The Vetta gives you three re-routable internal STOMPBOXES 1, 2 & 3 which can be assigned to be any of the numerous effects listed here. Any stompbox can feed AMP1, AMP2, or BOTH.	Lo-Rez

Line 6 Company Story - Part 2... 15-11-2003

As a result of it's unprecedented growth over the last several years, and to provide space for it's significant increase in R&D personnel, Line 6 had to move to a new 36.000 sq ft. building, housing design and development, administration, corporate, sales, and marketing departments. In addition to a complete interioir redeisgn, Line 6 has commisioned the services of Walter Storyk, legendary designer of Jimi Hendrix's Electrix Lady Studios, to add a custom designed state-of-the-artSound Development Studio to the new complex. Line 6 is aggressively investing in this extensive new facility to insure its continued leadership in provviding groundbreaking tone technologies for musicians.

Mr. Storyk has designed the new Line 6 facillities to exactly meet the special requirements of Line 6's sound design team, providing both optimized sound analysis environments and professional quality recording spaces. The new facility completed in October 2001 and is a part of the new coporate headquarters in Augora Hills, CA that Line 6 moved to in June 2001.

In October 2001 Line 6 was again rewarded, for the second year in a row with the "Inc 500" award for being one of the top 50 fastest growing private companies in the U.S. Now the company ranked # 160 from # 168 in 2000.

While bringing out new and better products for every price level in a very fast way a new direction was taken by the unveiling of the first Variax in the Autumn of 2002

Line 6 has continued to grow and at that time states that it is a music company dedicated to integrating technology with music products to develop innovative solutions for musicians. Headquartered in Augora Hills, California, Line 6 currently has a presence in over 60 countries worldwide with offices in California U.S. and the United Kingdom. In just under seven years, Line 6 has grown from an original team of 10 to 230 employees. As the pioneer of digital modeling amplifiers, Line 6 has created award-winning products for guitarists, bass players and engineers, working both on stage and in the studio. The Range of tonal possibilities that Line 6 technology providers has been put to use by an extremely diverse group of music makers, from Clint Black to Trent Reznor, from Madonna to U2, from Kid Rock to Lenny Kravtitz.

In Sept 2002 Line 6 was rankend as the telfth fastest growing technology company of the Los Angeles region, in Deloitte & Touche's "2002 Los Angeles Technology Fast 50" program. In its second consecutive year on the list, Line 6 posted a 390% revenue growth ove a five-year period.

To qualify for the Fast 50, companies must be i business for a minimum of five years; must not be a subsidiary or division; must have 1997 revenues of at least $50,000, and 2001 revenues of $1 million or more; and must be considered a tecnology company which is specifically defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contirbutes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues.

Now in 2004 this is what their website mentions about the Line 6 company

THE LINE 6 DIFFERENCE
Meeting the Challenge of Today's Guitarists

Most non-musicians are likely unaware that the past fifty years of guitar amplifier technology has had a more significant impact on the history of rock music than the electric guitar itself. Based on vacuum tube (or "valve") technology, each individual amp design was created to distort and color the guitar signal in a different way, contributing significantly to why the guitar sounds of the Beatles were so different from Jimi Hendrix or Pink Floyd. Both the subtle and overt differences between the many types (and even specific serial numbers) of Fenders, Marshalls, and many other brands, became cherished tonal signatures that were sought after for the particular sonic mood that they might inspire. Guitarists the world over sing the praises of that "perfect" 1958 Fender Bassman with 4 x 10" speakers, or a particular 1963 Vox AC30 Top Boost.

Designs of different brands became known for their musical genre leanings, with Fender more often used for blues and country, and Marshall stacks becoming the mainstay of heavy metal and rock. A successful guitarist typically ends up owning multiple amplifiers in order to compose and record with different guitar tones. To recreate their sound live, they are often forced to bring multiple amplifiers on tour.

Vacuum tube technology is still the standard for great guitar amps, yet there are very few manufacturers of these tubes left. A guitarist who wants a wide range of tone not only has to purchase multiple amplifiers, but also discovers that the most covetable amps are collectable treasures with a price tag to match. Combine this with the cost of quality replacement tubes, the variations in tone that result from the influences of different temperature and humidity, and the fact that these designs only sound "right" when played at the volume that provides the desired amount of distortion, and it becomes clear as to what challenges face the guitarist of today.

In the mid-1990's, Line 6 set out to meet the needs of today's guitarist by harnessing technology to turn a wide range of great tone into a reality for every guitarist. Line 6 amassed a noteworthy collection of sought-after vintage amps and effects, and started meticulously measuring and analyzing every tonal aspect of the tubes and their associated circuitry. Since an electric guitar produces an electrical signal, each element of the circuitry that alters the tone of the guitar is in fact processing that signal. By creating software models in DSP (Digital Signal Processing) of how the guitar signal is processed by these circuits, Line 6 had the ability to connect up and control these virtual circuits in any way. If a different type of tube was needed or tone controls should work in a different way, new software was loaded instead of having to wire additional circuits and tubes.

After years of research and playing, Line 6 launched a patented technology in 1996, with the world's first digital modeling guitar amplifier, the AxSys 212. This product provided users with models of dozens of classic guitar amplifiers, as well as a complete arsenal of stomp boxes and effects. With one touch of a button, a guitarist's complete rig could be transformed into virtually any gear desired. The AxSys quickly took off and led to the further development of Line 6's technology into a comprehensive line of guitar amps within all price ranges.

At the end of 1998, Line 6 launched the next guitarist tone revolution: POD. This kidney bean-shaped desktop device went beyond just the modeling of many classic amplifiers, it was created to solve another critical problem that had plagued guitar players: recording great guitar tone.

With traditional amplifiers, the first problem is the requirement of a great sounding and acoustically isolated sound room, since most guitar amplifiers have to be turned up to a near ear-splitting level in order to get the right tone. Next, great microphones need to be selected and placed in optimal locations. For all but those with large recording budgets, this has been a continual struggle. And even with a large budget, it can be quite time consuming since to arrive at the desired result this process may need to be repeated with several different amplifiers.

With POD, Line 6 eliminated the need for complicated recording set-ups with its proprietary technique for simulating the complex interaction of microphones, speaker cabinets and room acoustics, Acoustically Integrated Recording (A.I.R.). POD provides software models of 32 classic and modern guitar amplifiers, plus models of their speaker cabinets, and modeling of what these would sound like when placed in a great recording studio with top quality mics placed by an experienced engineer. POD can simply be plugged directly into a recording device (tape recorder, hard disk recorder, or computer), and provide the guitarist with the complete recording signal path without ever having to move air or wake the neighbors. POD has won numerous awards, and has landed on countless platinum records. Its intuitive design and incredible tone quickly changed the way guitarists create and record music, becoming the standard for both direct recording and live performance.

In 2000, Line 6 continued its expansion with a line of "stomp box" effects pedals for guitarists; Bass POD, providing all of the technological advances of POD to bass players; POD Pro, a rack-mount version of POD for live and professional studio applications; and Flextone II, a complete line of digital amplifiers. True to its commitment of putting the latest technology into the hands of musicians, Line 6 has equipped many of its new product introductions with ToneTransfer, creating a complete product line of internet-enabled digital audio products. Now, Line 6 users can utilize the sounds created in a studio environment and reproduce them on stage, share sounds with other users, and access over a thousand new sounds via Line 6's ToneTransfer Web Library.

2001 marked the introduction of a new generation of modeling technology with Vetta, Line 6's flagship amplifier. It brought innovative features, including the ability for players to attain the sound of two different amplifiers at once. Line 6 also introduced products for the music production market with Line 6 Studio Modelers, which are receiving critical acclaim and editor's recognition in top music publications.

Most recently, in March 2002, Line 6 introduced GuitarPort, the first computer-based musical experience for electric guitarists. This device transforms an ordinary PC into an arsenal of incredible sounding guitar amps and effects, plus gives you the ability to play along with great studio musicians as well as original master recordings of some of the most famous guitar tracks of all time. An ever-growing list of popular songs recorded with and without guitar are also available, as well as on-line lessons and guitar forums. Line 6 "Jamware" puts any guitarist into the middle of the band any time of day, anywhere there is a PC.

Line 6's passion for excellence and commitment to the development of new technologies has attracted the industry's best engineers and designers, a formidable roster of artist endorsers, and an active, informed user base - a combination that leaves Line 6 well-equipped to take on the enviable challenges of continued growth.

Gitarist review November Issue Nr. 11 2003 ... 12-11-2003

*** Line 6 User meeting

For some time there have been several websites with information, sounds you can download, and a discussion-forum with the gear of Line 6 as the main point of
interest. These sites have no official connection with Line 6, but do have much contact with them. The American forum members have held regular usermeetings, but here on our own soil (Holland / The Netherlands), it was Hans Ligtenberg, webmaster of Vettaville, who took the initiative for making this first night happen.

After much organizing and further arranging, the first meeting was held on the 20th of October in "de Toonzaal" in Oosterhout. About one hundred interested people, approximately ten Vetta's, and a single Flextone saw how Ron Huisen, modeling maniac and Line 6 representative, made his equipment go to work for him.

The creative manner in which Ron makes use of the possibillities in the Vetta have for some time now been a source of inspiration to many forum members. This was also audible by the sounds that came out of the Vetta's that were brought along.This is something that the bosses at Line 6 have noticed, as they gave Ron a position of factory sound maker. So with some changes that are in the new Line 6 gear, you'll come across Line 6 factory patches 'made in Holland'.

Later that evening the new Variax 700 was presented and I must say that it's a nice one. A nice transparent finished guitar with a carved top blade and tremolo that looks virgin and serene through the absence of attibutes that usually ruin the looks of a guitar. The tremolo offers interesting possibillities: Twelve-string acoutic guitar with...?

The end of the evening was filled by Alides Hidding, singer/songwriter of the Time Bandits, who started a jam session with a 'for the evening' formed band. And as a nice sidenote, Alides himself made use of an 'ordinary POD' plugged into a small Vox Cambridge combo.

The most beautiful thing about the evening to me however was that the us-feeling of the guitarists was stimulated in an efficient way. No endless licks, no uncertain staring with the arms crossed, but a meeting with a common goal and an open exchange of experience and knowledge.

Line 6 gebruikersbijeenkomst

Al enige tijd bestaan er diverse websites met informatie, geluiden die je kunt downloaden en een discussieforum met de spullen van Line 6 als hoofdthema. Deze sites hebben geen officiële connectie met Line 6, maar hebben er wel veel contact mee. De Amerikaanse forumleden hebben al regelmatig gebruikersgroep bijeenkomsten gehouden en hier, op eigen bodem, was het Hans Ligtenberg, webmaster van Vettaville.nl, die het initiatief nam voor het opzetten van zo’n avond. Een hoop georganiseer en geregel verder, werd dus op 20 oktober in de Toonzaal in Oosterhout de eerste bijeenkomst gehouden.

De opkomst viel zeker niet tegen. Zo’n honderd geïnteresseerden, een tiental Vetta’s en een enkele Flextone zagen hoe Ron Huisen, modelling maniak en Line 6 vertegenwoordiger, zijn apparatuur aan het werk zette. De creatieve manier waarop Ron de mogelijkheden van de Vetta uitbuit zijn al geruime tijd een bron van inspiratie voor veel forumleden en dat was ook wel te horen aan de geluiden die uit een aantal meegebrachte Vetta’s kwamen. Overigens is dit ook de grote bazen van Line 6 niet ontgaan, wat Ron de positie van fabrieksgeluidenmaker heeft opgeleverd. Dus de kans is groot dat je in nieuwe spullen van Line 6 fabrieksgeluiden ‘made in Holland’ tegenkomt.

Verder werd de nieuwe, luxere Variax 700 gepresenteerd en ik moet zeggen dat die er wezen mag. Een mooie transparant gelakte gitaar met gewelfd bovenblad en tremolo die erg maagdelijk en sereen aandoet door de afwezigheid van elementen en andere attributen die doorgaans het uiterlijk van een gitaar kunnen verpesten. De tremolo biedt interessante mogelijkheden: Twaalfsnarige akoestische gitaar met…?

Het eind van de avond werd ingevuld door Alides Hidding, zanger van Time Bandits, die met een gelegenheidsband een jamsessie in gang zette. Leuk om te vermelden dat Alides zelf gebruik maakt van een ‘doodgewoon POD-je’ die hij doorlust naar een klein Vox Cambridge combootje.

Het mooiste van een avond als deze vind ik toch wel dat het wij-gevoel van gitaristen op een doeltreffende wijze wordt geprikkeld. Geen eindeloze, snelle licks, geen onzeker gestaar in de ruimte met de armen over elkaar, maar een bijeenkomst met een gemeenschappelijk doel en een open uitwisseling van ervaringen en kennis.

Line 6 User Group made it to the magazines... 01-11-2003

The Line 6 User Group meeting has made it to the magazines.There's a (small) review but positive review on the Line 6 User Group NL eving in "de Gitarist" on page three also there's a review on Vetta II, so grab your copy at your local newspaper agent.

In "Music Maker" another music magazine (on music making in general) it has a mentioning on the L6UG meeting on page 63. It's the same article that they placed on their website (before the 21st) with a link to Vettaville.nl

I will ask if I can put it on Vettaville, so all can read it

De Line 6 User Group meeting heeft een verslag gekregen in het nieuwe november nummer van het maandblad "de gitarist" een blad (zoals de naam al doet vermoeden) voor en over gitaristen. Je vind het op pagina 3. In deze uitgave vindt je ook een verslag over Vetta II.

In het maandblad 'Music Maker" (een maanblad vor muzikanten algemeen) wordt ook de Line 6 User Group meeting vernoemd, dat vind je op pagina 63. Het stuk komt overeen met de link die ze voorheen op de website van music maker plaatsen met een link naar Vettaville.nl

Ik zal vragen of ik het stuk over de L6UG mag posten op Vettaville, zo dat iedereen het kan lezen.

Software - PODscope V 1.0 Beta for POD xt... 01-11-2003

Software gecreerd door GM Arts

gmarts@chariot.net.au

PodScope V1.0 Beta by GM Arts

Underneath a software overview

Nearly 10 years ago I wrote an application to allow Roland GP-100 users to view their settings in a simple text display.   Now I've gone and done it all again, this time for PODxt users.   PodScope is a Windows application that allows you to view your PODxt settings as text, print them, add notes, and share them with other users.

Here's a screenshot ...

Installation

How To Use

Use PodScope to get your settings via MIDI , or open a PODxt System Exclusive file (plenty of these on the net ;-).   You can request and view any of the PODxt settings: current patch, a nominated patch, all channels, amp setups or FX setups.

Use the dropdown list to select different patches, if you've loaded more than one.

Click the Notes button to add notes to a patch (they're listed at the bottom of the view area)

Save to save your settings & notes as text - there are 2 file type options:
(1) Plain Text is probably best for copying into emails and user forums
(2) Rich Text is best for viewing later in a word processor

Click Print to print your settings and notes (did I mention it's intuitive?)

Click Options to customise your display options

The Definition File

• I've tried to keep the application as generic as possible, so it uses a definition file (PodScope.def) to load model names, describe how sysex data is interpreted, show how values are presented, etc.   This will also allow easy upgrades as POD firmware is improved (post EQ maybe, hint hint ;-), and also other languages can be supported to a reasonable extent.

System Requirements

Testing & Plans

This is version 1.0 Beta, so at this early stage, I'm interested mainly in removing any bugs you may find.  

Please email me with the word "PodScope" in the subject. I expect to release version 1.0 soon, with no known bugs, and at least with its current functionality.

I don't plan to develop this into a graphical editor or librarian.

I am considering other features such as saving settings back into your POD over MIDI, and also a CSV file format so users can export text settings into a database.

Download PODScope V1.0 Beta

The first download needs to include many support files (some of which you probably already have on your PC anyway).   Updates will be *much* smaller.
