Bought a Vetta combo with FBV longboard on eBay just now. My winning bid ... $445.
Has the Armin mods, both cosmetic and firmware, the beauty is i love the cosmetic mod and the firmaware can be undone if I dont like it.
That's an awesome deal, even without the Armin mods!! Congrats bro!!
HOLY CRAP! Jeez, good for you man! That's a smokin deal. I feel sorry for the guy who sold it...
Wow! What a deal. That's just stupid crazy.
That sounds an incredible deal! Congrats! :)
What are 'Armin mods'?
That is a fucking incredible deal! You'll have no trouble making money back if you decide to sell it.
Of course, with the Armin mods for great direct tone, and the FBV, well, I doubt you'll need to.
Congrats, man!

What are 'Armin mods'?
Yes, WHAT ARE THE ARMIN MODS!
The Armin Mods were done by a dude named Armin, a guy from Germany. The biggest part of these software mods for the Vetta was it totally replaced the cabinet models for the direct outs. Most users who bought them (yes, he sold the software) found the direct outs were greatly improved and usable. He also modded the actual amp models where they were actually renamed to the original. A Treadplate amp model is now called what it is based off of: Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. Line6 couldn't use the names to to trademark. Aftermarket guy doesn't give a shit.
Armin's our hero. He's gotten himself famous and been mentioned on TV a lot lately. For kicks he created an iPhone app called "I'm Rich!" which only shows a red ruby on the front and has a little "I" that, when clicked, shows some kind of positive mantra. That's all it does. However, he priced it at $999.99 - the maximum an app from the iStore can cost - and sold 11 of them. LMAO! :D ;D
Are you shittin' Craig?!?! :o
That's hilarious if it's true!!! :D :D :D ;D
Very true. One of the buyers asked the Apple Store to pull the app and they did, but Armin is wondering if he might still get the 70% of the sales price that he's owed (the Apple Store takes 30% off the top - nice cut, eh?).
Here's a few links about it:
