I have a brand new G90 wireless receiver. Last week at our show it was fine in the first half, but half way through our second set started cutting out. The same happened on Sunday at a different venue. I am following the manual but it doesnt correlate to the system, and I am worried it may be set to an old firmware. When I click Select Chanel > Setup it says 'Open Channels are Boxed', and I see no reference to RF1 and RF2 settings in any menu. The manual suggests it should scan frequencies and show interference on each at this point. Is it possible to check the firmware version? If not, why would drop outs start after an hour of uninterrupted transmission? For reference, I change batteries in body pack twice.

Thanks again for this advice. Do you connect to the DT25 via the Line 6 Link, or jack straight in the front? From what I have read Line 6 link means you lose global EQ... is there any advantage to this if it is unable to switch topologies?

Thanks for this, great answer I was looking for! How do you find the Helix through your PA as opposed to through the DT25? EDIT: Also, when you run both ways, how do you set the helix? Full Amp Plus Cab sim, Full amp, or pre amp only? Have seen varying opinions on this!

I guess I have mis-asked my question. I want to keep the 'real amp' in the room and marshall cab. My question I guess is how is the DT25 going to sound without the voicings etc set right. And how is a Mesa power amp going to sound in comparison?

I currently run an HD500 into a DT25 head into a 1960A cab which is mic'ed up and put into our PA. I use the HD500 for all of the effects, but also as a midi controller for our lighting rig. I want to upgrade to a Helix, but am confused about the best route to go down in terms of the amp. 1. Helix into DT25 as I do currently - Easier because I already own the DT25, but lack of full control. I appreciate this can be solved with a midi link, but it seems a pain and would this effect midi to the lighting rig? Space is sometimes an issue, so I like the idea of Helix Rack and rack mounted power amp.. 2. Helix into power amp, something like Mesa 2:50. Run the Helix on either full or pre amp modes and then into a power amp. Nice because it can all be rack mounted above the amp and possibly simpler than the DT25? Which is going to give the best sound? The DT25 has the different voicings, but if these cant be controlled via the Helix would I miss this in a rack power amp? Have read extensively through the forums but struggling for a definitive answer. Please help!!
