I was So excited to get my DT 50 2x12 combo to use with my POD HD 500x, but was quickly let down! First I Need to state that I am a lover of Line 6 gear, and have used just about every version since 2.0.
When I first heard of the DT series, I was hooked! I knew I needed one! So I was finally able to order! It came in the mail, and I was fired up, to say the least!
There was an instant ringing/rattling which I traced back to the 12 AX7's in the amp! Oh man was I bummed! It was even coming through my direct recording output on the amp. So I talked to musicians friend, and they told me they would ship me another, and the SAME THING!
A little more searching led me to Tube Dampers, and forums about types of tubes I could use, but that stunk even more! I read Bogner designed it to run on EH Tubes Only! So, I bought a Brand new set of EH tubes! The ringing got even worse!!!
I thought, and thought about what to do... So ...
My take on the DT series of amps sounds like a great Idea on paper, and I'm sure there are some good tones people can make to suite their needs!
I am a full-time musician, and I just couldn't trust that I wouldn't have had problems further down the road. I'm not made of money, and it also made some pretty weird pops, and noises!
I use the 4 cable method and It sounds Way more natural coming through my new amp. Like I said I Love Line6 gear, and love all the options on the POD 500X! In fact it's my only effect pedal
In the end I got a Mesa Boogie Roadster head.
Does anyone know if Line6 will be making another type of DT amp?
