How is the range of the trem? How low can you go before the piezo cuts out? How high can you pull up? Pulling up, do the piezo wires get in the way (they do in an Ibby that I have )?

Got it sorted. I think. No matter what, I wasn't really getting anything but a clean in full power other than top 4. Barely the slightest of dist with the drive pegged and volume shaking the windows.

I was finally able to go out and get a usb midi cable. Did a flash and some resets and it is sounding like you'd hope it would now. First flash and reset didn't seem to do anything but tried again for the heck of it and seems ok soundwise. Now I have another issue but I'll save that for it's own thread.

Thanks for everyone's insight.

Nope, no ACDC tone or even close. Having all controls @ noon, including the master, is pretty much a clean sound with just a hint of breakup on all tops but iv. Putting the drive to full doesn't alter it much from there if at all.

I have updated to the latest firmware and reset to be sure it wasn't set to some other preamps in the ii-iii slots.

Actually in comparing to the HD, it sounds almost exatly the the 'pre' only versions. Making me think that the power section isn't being pushed like it should. Which is strange to me as there seems to plenty of volume. And I am not getting any other strange behavior like cracks and pops or anything.

Could this be a tube or bias issue? As stated, nothing else sounds 'off'. No bad distortions either. Again, I have only had a Twin for a tube amp prior which pretty much only gives you cleans so I am not well versed in tube amp workology.

Yes, I have. WIth the drive pegged the most I can seem to get is a growl on top ii. Not really clipping or a crunch. If that makes sense. Top iii a little more so. Top iv seems as it should.

Volume pot cracklin'

Heya,

Having an issue with the volume pot on my 69. It is crackling at the upper end when you turn the volume up. But it only seems to do it with modeling on and connected through the 1/4 in jack. VDI is fine.

Possible easy fix/home remedy? Or would this be a warranty return?

Thanks,

Jason

DT50 - Crunch?

support@line6.com — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 05:45:26 GMT

Hi all,

Proud owner of a new (to me [read used]) dt 50 112. Trying to get that top ii crunch that I have heard alot of. All that I seem to get is a clean, A very good sounding clean, mind you. But I can't seen to get that crunch that I have heard. At least not when using the amp in it's natural and desired state of being full volume mode and sans HD interface. You know, as an amp .

Only tube amp that I have had prior was a Twin. So I am not really familiar with the trick of the trade as all that did was loud clean and effin' loud clean. Also, it being used, it did not come with the idiot sheet which I think may have been actually useful in my case.

Anyway, can someone share some tips?

Thanks,

Jason

The down arrow safe mode in one of these two links saved the day!. Appreciate your help. Search just kept giving me articles on the looper

Ugh... stuck in a boot loop.

Tried flashing the new 2.1 on my 500. Monky lost connectivity and failed the flash. Now the 500 is stuck in a boot loop.

Is there anything that I can do?

Thanks.

Ok. Thanks. I had thought that it had something to do with how much 'oomph' was put in from the guitar as well and wasn't sure it the jtv/vdi had actual different levels of 'oomph' per model or just instuction to sound like different levels of 'oomph'. If that makes sense ;O).

Not that it mattered or would make a difference to me anyway sound wise. Just trying to understand what the heck is going on!

Curious.. Does this have any effect when using the jtv through vdi? Being ”fake” p ickups and all.
