Going live - HD500x or HD500x + DT50 ?

hi everybody,

 

i'm an happy owner of an HD500x, i use it at home with any speaker or with earphones, or in the studio for rehearsal plugged into the power amp of the head+cab that there is in the studio. So i don't own an amp.

Now i'm approaching to go live with my band, and i have the possibility to but a DT50 to upgrade my rig, connecting them with line6 link, also i have to reprogram all the patches to "pre only".

 

The real question is, is it enough a pod500x to go live? i don't know if i will find an amp there on the stage, and don't know what kind of amp will be (combo, head+cab) and if it will have the effects return input. the best case would be going in the power amp input of the amp i will find there or maybe going directly to PA with balanced outputs, BUT in this case i will have "less volume and feeling on the stage" ? also because i have another guitarist in the band with a small valve amp, so i'm afraid to not hear anything or hearing less my guitar...

the second scenario is to buy a DT50, reprogramming the patch to have "pre only" on the amp simulation, using the l6 link to link together on the stage and then what? microphoning the amp to go into PA for the public? or does the DT50 have a balanced output to go into the PA directly avoiding me to mic the cabinet?
 

what you guys think?

 

thank you

ok, so based on what you tell me, i have not a speaker like a keyboard or other FRFR speaker, so if i should buy something to have my own speaker on the stage..at this point it's better than i go for a dt50 don't I?

i mean, i have nothing right now, in order to buy something that has a speaker, why don't go directly on the dt50 combo?

 

at that point it would be easy to go into the PA without mic the amp thank to the direct output, it should be the easies way to do that, i don't trust on sound engineers who i find at live stage sometimes ehhehehe 

 

so for now we are at

 

Hd500x directly into PA = 0

hd500x with some amp mic'ed or DT50 (best way) = 1

 

let's wait for other opinions
