I guess I should say that the DT amps are actually 30 amps. Some of them may "like" drive pedals and some may not. It's an amp like any other amp. I guess I just don't understand why people think it's some kind of annomoly that reacts differently.

I was wondering if the amp liked pedals. Some amps don't I dont have any drive pedals at this time so I guess I'll borrow a few and play around with it.

Sean Halley uses a HD 500 simularly on his rig using a 4 cable method and a Bogner Duende. As i watched the video it seemed he was able to change the amp configuration with the midi control within the HD 500

The DTs work like any other amp with stomp boxes in front of it. I have a POD HD 500 and I am using a separate Tube Screamer and a 535Q Wah in front of one or both. Since I always put those in every patch, I have them available all the time and free up the DSP in the POD for more delays and pitch shifting.

Here's my problem..... the POD works as a midi controler but only for individual foot switches. I have not been able to make the POD change amps on the DT when you change a preset on the POD. So for example: you would store a whole combiniation of fx and maybe use the POD HD in 4 cable mode with no amp selected so you want each preset on the POD to change the amp setting on the DT. It doesn't work, however. Or at least, I could not get it to work. The L6 link makes midi changes on the DT but I can only assign individual switches on the POD to send midi messages or even multiple messages.

Anyone have a solution for this?

I am a DT 50 and HD 500 owner. With the new firmware update for the amp I am thinking about running my set up a bit differently. I am messing with the HD unit as a midi controler as well as effects no pre-amps or amp models. I am wondering how the DT responds to overdrive units ie: tube driver, tube screamer in front of the amp. Has any one done this at all?
