MAP70

The Liquid foot stuff is great.. I use it on my DT50.. after searching for a cheap solution I finally decided to grab one.. sometimes they have some returns they sell cheaper... Mark

Pedalsnake is awesome.. I have been using it for a few years... lots less noise and you can have lots of lines in one compact snake. I am thinking of sng Helix in the same way... I can possibly get rid of my rack mounted pedals and midi switcher etc...

Use a FAMC Liquidfoot.. works great

Hi, jfranklin... I did end up using one of these: http://www.famcmusic.com/store/liquid-foot You need to make sure it can send a bunch of CC commands...These controllers are ricey but they seem to be one of the few that can do what I need for the DT50.. Mark

When I got my DT50 about 4 months ago I had 3 options for switching: 1) Standard foot switch between 2 channels 2) POD 500HD or HDx 3) MIDI Foootswitch I decided to go the MIDI route even though it is the less used of most configurations. I am glad I did, after a lot of searching I found these.. While they are a bit pricey, they do anything you need MIDI wise and it can send up to 20 MIDI commands to control the DT50 or DT25's settings. I tried some other lower priced options but this really does anything you need and once you use it you will be glad you grabbed it, I know I was.. Liquid Foot MIDI Controllers You can basically change any parameter and not have to save anything to the amp, So if you want a JCM800 but with Pentode and Class A you can do it and control volume, drive, EQ, etc all with one foot switch press. They also have a good Windows/OSX editor so you can do everything offline and then send it to the foot switch instead of programming the foot switch with the buttons itself. You can also setup set lists/songs, which I am in the process of getting done myself so I can hit one switch and change any other MIDI gear I have and change the amp as well for different parts (solo, verse, bridge etc). So no tap dancing... :rolleyes: I hope this helps! Mark

Looks like I fond it here....http://line6.com/supportarchivenew/thread/64496

Well they both seem to be next to the power tubes they are side by side behind the power tubes...looking at the amp from the back right side up is it the left or right 12ax7?

Great Thanks!! Mark

Which tube is the inverter tube in the DT50 1x12?? I am going to be changing the 2 12ax7's... if looking from the back of the amp, which is the inverter?? Thanks! Mark

Nice to know.. I may just need to call them... Thanks Mark

Seems like it.. I rather use my pedals than the pod.. Just figuring support may see this and help.. Trying to figure out if I can send multiple cc's to the amp at the same time to change the settings.. Still working on it with my midi foot controller manufacturer but I may need to speak to support.. Thanks Mark

Just wondering if anyone saw it.. I am sure people are using MIDI, just figured maybe more were?? LOL Hopefully someone will have an answer! Thanks for the reply! Mark

Anyone???

Hi Guys, I Just got my DT50 and have been fooling around with the MIDI part of it. I have downloaded the MIDI Implementation guide and I have a few questions: 1) When controlling Drive, Volume, Bass, Treble and Mid how can you determine where the 0-127 is on the dial. I assume 0 is 0 and 127 is Full. Anyone have any ideas where the rest of the dial is? 2) I am using a MIDI controller (SoftStep 2) to send the CC's. My idea is to keep all my clean stuff on channel 1 and all my dirty stuff on channel 2. So I will send a MIDI CC 19 to select the channel, then a MIDI CC 12 or 89 to select the amp model. Then I can select my additional settings (volume drive etc).. Does there need to be any pause between the CC's, because it seems I have problems when I program one button to make all the changes and the amp actually changing the the way I want it... is there a limit to the number of CC's sent simultaneously? Thanks! Mark

I am still going back and forth between the DT25 head+cab and a DT50 1x12 and a 2x12 extra cab (from another manufacturer)... its a hard decision...

' Sounds like it's the DT25 for me.. now just have to decide between combo and head + cab versions... Mark

I too was wondering about the open/closed back situation with the combo or head. I do like controls on the front and not on top, much easier when playing out.. At home it's not much of an issue.. As far as tubes go: EL-84: are more upper mid focused tubes. EL-84s break up much quicker than EL-34s and they have more of a compressed and spongier sort of feel. Small bottle, low wattage, easy breakup, bright, chimey. 1 pair =15-20watts. EL-34: are big tubes with a lot of volume and a lot of headroom. Harder to breakup at lower volumes. Big bottle, more headroom, more bass, more thick mid voicing, warm. 1 pair=40-60watts So the EL-84 is not necessarily a bad choice. they will breakup quicker and give you more of that power stage breakup.. I know my Marshall which is 100W in a 1x12 and takes a fair amount of volume (sometimes too much, if that is possible) to break up. The DT-25 Head and Cabinet make it easier to transport I would think... I wish they did an open back extension cab as well. A closed-back cab will yield a punchier, more mid-range structured tone with crisp projection and definition, and open-back cabs will provide a more organic sound with greater ambiance. Have you gigged out with the DT25?? If so, how was the amount of power on tap, headroom in cleans would be the only thing I could think could be an issue.. Thanks Mark

This is why I keep flip flopping on the DT 50 vs DT 25... I like the small footprint of the 25 to amp weight, my current Marshall is a 30th Anniversary 1x12 that weights almost 80lbs... so getting a DT50 will save only 10lbs or so (I am still on the fence of a 1x2 vs a 212 of the DT50). I would rather stay MORE tube than less tube.. but will that tube boost REALLY affect the sound that much.. I think the DT25 would be fine for gigging small bars and stuff where this is nothing on the PA but vocals... I think the Peak MIDI is the way to go for me.... but choosing between the DT25 (head and cab) and the DT50 combo (1x2 or 212???? grr).. is my issue I think now.. Any ideas?? Mark

Good to know... The reason I wanted to go MIDI was not to use any of the effects on the HD500.. so unless I grab one real cheap I will probably go with the PEAK MIDI pedal... Mark

I am too interested in a DT series amp. Not sure whether to get a 25 or a 50 yet but I am looking a MIDI pedal.. it is just hard trying to find a pedal to send multiple CC messages on a single button. Talking with tech, you can get a POD HD500 and make the preset just an amp model and not use any of the effects with I really don't want to use anyway... Anyone found a good MIDI footswitch that doesn't break the bank that can do multiple CC messages?? Thanks! Mark
