DT 25 / HD 500 Bogner Bomber Uberschall. Can anyone make this thing sound good? what are the settings

Marshall Fender Dr z .......Even the new Soldano I can make sound decent. The Bogner uberschall sounds so thin....and horrible.

I'm running

DT 25 / head and 1/12 line six cab.

hd 500 with AES/beu cable connected to the L6 link.

using the Stack power amp

all settings are correct...I've gone over and over this....this is my 3rd pedal becuase I keep thinking there is something wrong with these things.

the amp was bought new about 3 weeks ago and I've updated the firmware on the pedal (i've got the soldano mods).

The marshall JMP 100 sounds AWESOME....which makes me not want to give up on this rig.....

all the Fenders get great clean tones, so no problems there as well. It's just the hi-gain amps.

The ENGLE sounds really really really bloody great. tons of bottom end really smooth.

the bogner sounds like utter CRAP.....nothing I do can change this.....
i've heard people on youtube that have singing sounds with this.

YES i've tried putting this directly into a mixer with the XLR cables, and 1/4 cables....still sounds like crap...it actuallyh sounds better through the dt 25.

 

i'm stumped. Why would line 6 put out such a crappy sounding amp..

yes i'm using the PRE amps not the full ones.

 

Like I said, this is the 3rd pedal I've got now, this one is  a fresh one from line six, no one had opened the box. Same as the amp....brand spankin new.

 

I've got the original kidney pod with the 2.0 upgrade...which virtually walks all over this amp.

i've been using that through a small 15 watt Fender tube champ amp. that sounds awesome.

 

Again, the Marshall 100 JMP sounds awesome with a tube screamer in front of it...

 

what am I doing wrong ?

    I should also mention, I'm a nube with this unit but I've been playing with Tube amps and solid state for years. my guitars are a Parker Night fly and an ernie ball John Petrucci Baratone family reserve..yeah the really nice one. Trust me I can make guitar amps sing.....but I"m fighting with this damn rig that is supposed to be incredible.....I don't usually ask for help like this but I have to be doing something wrong.

     

    HELP !!!!!!
    thanks all any tips are so much appreciated. I've been searching this forum for weeks and found nothing useful.

      The Line 6 Elektrik and the Bogner are very similar but I like the Elektrik better.

       

      The most important thing to do is to start with the all the setting on 50 (noon) except the presence, keep that at zero.

       

      The Mid on the Bogner and Elektrik has a major effect on the overal sound of both models.  I would say it changes the "shape" more than an actual mid cut or boost.

       

      I usually set the presence very low, like at 20-25%.  I keep the Mid around 50-60%.  Move the Mid around until you hear the muddiness go away, then slowly raise the presence for more clarity.

       

      When using the POD with the DT-50 I also use no cab modeling.  My main/favorite sound is the Elektrik. 

       

      I just uploaded my favorite patch to use with my DT-50 HD and 4x12 cab.  It's called "Elekrik DT" and my user name is hollis1003.
