DT25 and HD500 and FX Heavy patches

support@line6.com — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:17:36 GMT

Has anyone tried using the FX Heavy patches that come with the HD500 through a DT25? Specifically the synth/organ and string simulations?

If so, what did you think? Was it successful and you could get a good sound or was it a waste of time and you really needed to run those patches through a full range PA or at least a full range speaker system?

Even if you could get a good sound, is it advisable to use the DT25 to reproduce those types of sounds or do we risk damaging the speaker or worse?

Interested in people's experiences and views.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a UK or European supplier that offers a version of the Bestronics cable?

Thanks.

Re: Acoustic sounds JTV 59P

Have you tried turning the volume down on the JTV59P when using the acoustic models? I found they sounded better if did not have the volume at max. Experiment with the volume control as well as the Tone Control for mic placement simulation and see whether the sound cleans up at lower volumes.

Hope that helps.

Re: Hex Wrenches that come with JTV-59

For the JTV59 you will need a wrench for each of the following:

1) Saddles (backwards and forwards) - this is not a conventional wrench as at the long end it narrows before the end and then fattens back out to a small nodule, whereas a conventional wrench is same size throughout its length.

2) Bridge Height adjustment

3) Bridge (backwards and forwards)

4) Truss Rod

You actually get 5 items in the supplied wrench set with your JTV59. 4 conventional and 1 special for the saddles. Not sure what the 5th wrrench is for.

Re: I have HD500 so will upgrading my DT25 to v2.0 firmware provide any benefits?

Thank you TheRealZap!

I have HD500 so will upgrading my DT25 to v2.0 firmware provide any benefits?

support@line6.com — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:59:53 GMT

I have a DT25 with factory standard firmware, and an HD500 with the previous level firmware (ie: not the latest).

As my HD500 gives me access to a load of modelled pre-amps and is compatible with the DT25, do I need to upgrade my DT25 to the v2.0 firmware? Will I get any benefits from upgrading or do I already have access to all those models via the HD500?

Or is the v2.0 firmware only beneficial for people who use the DT standalone?

Thanks.

Thanks for the update Chris - appreciate it. Thanks for the explanation about Garage Band and iOS not allowing the interoperation that we would all love to see. Is that also why we can't browse a PDF or TXT file whilst using Mobile POD in the background?

Re: Mobile In - how can you increase guitar input volume?

support@line6.com — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:39:52 GMT

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your very comprehensive and detailed reply.

I will experiment with the volume controls next time I use Mobile In, to see if I can improve the situation. Certainly, when I used the acoustic models from my JTV with the volume up full via Mobile In, I struggled to get a decent record level in Garage Band on my iPad - I just had to settle for a low input level which did not produce the results I had hoped for. I will also compare my JTV sound against the sample guitar clips. I have tried other guitars and they perform the same as the JTV. So possibly my Mobile In does have an issue.

Thanks for explaining why it cannot be used directly as input to Garage Band and for outlining options to get round this limitation, although none are applicable for me as I only own an iPad, so if I want to use Mobile POD tones then I will just have to record with another device.

Regarding the smart cover - I just realised that I should have said smart case - I have this one: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD454ZM/A/ipad-smart-case-polyurethane-dark-grey?afid=p228%7CGBUK&cid=AOS-UK-CSE-GoogleBase

The problem is that the sides of the case have a lip which protudes above the docking connection, and that hits the top of the Mobile In unit, preventing connection. So, I have to remove the iPad from the Smart Case to use Mobile In, which is annoying. If the docking plug of Mobile In was on a small flexible cable then it would be possible to use it with the iPad in a smart case. Again, I don't think there is anyway around this.

Best Regards

Eddie

That sounds like the classic 59 switch problem - and as you have discovered you do have old stock - so it just needs a new switch which Line6 will sort for you.

Hope they get it fixed quickly for you.
