It looks like it might be a FRFR guitar cab. If so, that's pretty cool.

I know what it is now... Similar to something that starts with the letter of Tommy Lee Jones' character in MIB. Not a Spyder.

Line 6 does have their own PA tech. It has a neat setting that allows the unit to behave a little more like a guitar speaker cabinet, rather than a standard PA speaker.

However, they do not have a combo amp with dozens of amp and cab sims with an integrated FRFR speaker system. This is what I'm hoping it is. Something easily portable as well. :)

Saw this a few months ago, and a buddy got to do some testing. Game changer for sure.

Pics or it didn't happen. J/K

I hate when people bash Line 6 just because they aren't full blown, tube only amps. I had quite a few people say they preferred my MKII to my old 6505. The Bogner tube section really makes a huge difference over the smaller SS series, which are amazing first time amps (not much to say for them outside of that). They're some good amps if you take the time to set them up right.

Most people play them and just hope for something to justify an "inferior to tubes" claim, even on the Bogner designed units. These people are called idiots. I know a guy (and he's on this site) who says that a Line 6 will never match a tube only amp, simply because it uses digital technology. The same guy uses a plethora of digital effects both in front and in FX.

I digress. A new Vetta would be nice, so long as they don't tone it down so as to prevent a significant loss of sales for the POD series or give it an MSRP of +$2k.

^^^ Maybe an iOS interface for programming and loading shared presets via Bluetooth, like what Eventide has done with the H9?

It says tone match, so maybe it's an iOS-linked tone matcher that works from songs in your music library? So sort of like EZ Mix, but automated?

I'm definitely willing to wager that it is going to be a competition to jamup now. All of the pictures have been digital, so what would say there are any physical parts?

There's absolutely no actual pictures so surely it's got to be something digital. I can't see them launching something like a Vetta III when there's the whole Line 6 link thing between the HD's and the DT series.

I hope this is a different product than "Reinventing" the guitar amp....I'm so sick of iOS tethered musical equipment. The iPod/iPad/iPhone is just as a much a toy as any Android device, so why not do both. Android uses USB in some form or another with inexpensive adapters available for digital audio and there are just as many, if not more Android devices...either way, I'm not interested in musical equipment that requires an additional $200-$500 device to operate.
