Vetta & Hd147 back to back
Vetta & Hd147 back to back
True, the combo is a bit cheaper. But space is not an issue especially since I'll be moving into a mates place soon with a whole games room setup for jamming. I really dug the 5150 on it and it was really handy having the global controls plus i didn't even have an eq or a tube screamer setup through it so I can only imagine how much more it can be tweaked and i didnt adjust the cabinet model.
I had a good play of a spider 3 half stack and that was cool but it seems like a step down from a 5150. More funds available for new guitars though...
Could I use a special transformer with a u.s vetta? my girl moved from the states 3 yrs back and has special transformers for some of their appliances
Have you considered trying an hush or the like with your 5150? :confused:
It seems that was the thing you liked the most about the model of the amp you actually own... Try that first and see what develops... Aside from all the built in fx.. You may already have an amp that you can live with and use and still save loot in the mean time until you decide what amp you really really want.
What are the possibility of buying used? The Vetta 1 with the latest firmware is the exact same amp you just played, just a little uglier. Can slice the price of the cab in half by getting a spider cab too, however most of them out today are only 150w (75+75 stereo) which isn't enough for the Vetta. However there still are alot floating around that are 300w (150+150 stereo or 300 mono) which is what you'd need.
Also can use the shortboard instead of the longboard, save you a few bucks on the get go, but if you're like me I imagine after a while you'll just wish you had saved for the longboard (i'm not too repentful about it actually, but I know I will be one day).
