DTxx amp when POD HD500 is NOT connected?

If you have a dream rig and the HD500 has a preset for example a Vox AC30, the DTxx configures for that amp. Then you change (HD500) to a Fender Twin amp preset. Next you turn everything OFF. Then if the DTxx amp is turned on but NOT part of the dream rig (no L6 connection), what does the DTxx amp have for the defaults it then starts with?

 

Does the amp type 1 have the previous Fender Twin settings and the type III have the previous Vox settings?

    the dt defaults(no l6link)  to the setting you last used on dt amp alone (both channels) , the hd doesnt changes the settings on the two channels of the dt.

    the 4 topologys also stay the same with the new firmware you have to change that by midi.

      Thanks for the reply.

       

      I have understood what you replied but it is still doing my head in, getting around that. The only way I can justify it to myself is that there are 6 amp settings - 4 as per the controls on the amp and two (A and B) that are used when the HD changes that temp area. If that is correct why change the indicators on the actual amp?

        I'm not sure I fully understand all of the above but you may find this useful info.

         

        I connected HD500 to DT50 and using L6 link if I remember correctly and by using midi messages I have programmed channel A as a Soldano Crunch Model and channel B as a Soldano Distortion channel on the DT50. The changes in the DT50 are permanent unless I do a factory reset on the amp its self. I do not use the HD500 to gig anymore, I much prefer my own pedals. As for the amp, well it's a bit good now, not that it wasn't before. Sorry if I am way off track here.
