Hi everyone. I found this forum trying to resolve the same issue. I have a Mission TT2 (TRS/TS) switcher and a Line 6 expression pedal. I have a TRS to TS Y cable. Jason Sadites has a good demo on how to set up the Stomp with a switcher which helped a lot. https://youtu.be/xirXi7OuJ9c I found I had to fiddle about with settings to get things how I wanted them. Getting the 2 switches on the TT2 to be switch 4 and 5 was easy once I figured out the Preferences allocating the switches and then using Bypass Control to assign the block. With the Y cable I had to put both split cables into the TT2 (wouldn't need to do this with a 'stereo' TRS) cable but you'll see why I have Y cable shortly. First I went to preferences and allocated the switches 4 (tip) and 5 (ring). I left the polarity alone. Then in my edit view I chose the block I wanted on 4, chose bypass control and allocated the block to 4. Next I wanted to split the cable so I could use one footwsitch on the TT2 and the other cable for the expression pedal. This took some fiddling around and luck and error! I think where I got to was making sure that in the Preferences section I set the switch that was set to footswitch 5 to Exp 2, then went to the delay I'm using the exp pedal on, and made sure bypass was off. then I set the controller assign for the delay to Mix / Exp2 so that the pedal controls the 'volume' of the deal, so when fully down there is no delay. I hope that makes sense!!!

Hi all. I've just bought a Stomp after owning an HD500. I have a Marshall JVM410 which has MIDI channel switching, which the amp can 'learn' by holding a button down on the amp. I was able to do this with the 500 without having to delve into MIDI stuff. What I've read in this discussion suggests I could set up an amp channel MIDI change by preset with the Stomp. I tend to stick with one channel for a song anyway so this could work for me. So, can you gurus help confirm this for me? E.g. I have preset 1A with whatever FX I want, connect 2 midi cables, set my amp channel to what I want, push the learn button on the amp (as per procedure in the Marshall manual), and bob's my uncle. I would need to use preset mode if I wanted to switch to a different amp channel (say clean on 1A and crunch on 1B). Is that how this could work?

Hi. I think I used a midi sport uno

Thanks guys. I’m curious though, without DTedit is the only way to access the different preamps by using a midi controller? I have an HD500 so have the preamps in that anyway, so wondering what people who don’t have a Pod will do to access the new amps

Ok, dumb question then! How do I configure the dt25 without DTEdit? I can’t see anything in the pilots guide. Is it all by midi via an HD500 or similar?

Hi all I've FINALLY got a midi cable to connect to the DT25 and updated v2 firmware. DTedit connects fine and I can make changes and it changes on the amp. What I can't figure out is that there are 2 preamp sets per channel making 16 possible presets, but i can't see how this works. There doesnt seem to be a manual anywhere to explain this. So, question is, how do I access all 16 amps from my amp when I'm not connected to DTedit?

Hi the HD500(x) is designed to work with the Variax as part of a concept called the Dream Rig. basically you can control the variax from the HD unit so you can have, say, a telecaster into a modelled amp with loads of FX on one preset, then switch something else on another preset - say a 12 string acoustic going to PA via FX send. You can even have two guitars - the magnetic pickups of the variax on one channel panned L and a modelled guitar on channel 2 panned R. There are stacks of amps and FX and you can buy some additional ones as downloads.

Hi I want to update the firmware on my DT25 but my midi interface doesn't recognise the DT. I've seen a cheap midiman midiface for sale - will this work? Or, can anyone recommend a cheap interface that will work? I'll only be getting it to do the DT upgrade!

that's my conclusion too. seems to be the AC15 model that's the worst offender. Luckly I have a real one as well! I might have a play with MIDI one day to see if I can make improvements. But, it shouldnt be like this. I wonder if the Helix version is better?

Right, think I've sorted this issue. Seems to be input distortion. I've added an EQ block and sert output really low and engaged the Pad and this seems to be stopping the input clipping. I'm still surprised by single coil Strat is creating input distortion! I should be able to select an Amp preset and it sound OK without input clipping. Oh well.

I'm using a regular XLR cable for L6 link and it seems to be fine. I have also tried combinations of using L6 link or the 4 cable method, which I think is what you mean here? Its taken a long time to get the Pod presets set up without input distortion. The 4CM method with DT25 sounded good to me, but I only get two channels to switch between, unless I start using MIDI control. C

AHA! fixed it I figured out it was my input signal that's creating clipping. the Pad cut didnt make enough difference, so what I've done is put the Studio Pre EQ at the front of my chain and reduced the output on that FX block until the clipping goes, then adjust the amp channel volume so it matches other patches. To do this I had already found my quietest patches (the JC120 model) and matched everything to that amp. I'm still really surprised my Strat with single coils is causing this clipping. But anyway - fixed!

I'm using this with a DT25

Thanks. That has helped a little. I've got a thread going elsewhere about this too, but I can't see where I'm going wrong. I'm using a US fender strat with single coils, Mexican tele and variax les James Tyler. All of them have same problem. I'm not playing crazy stuff. Just trying to get the AC15 sounding like an AC15! I have set up with only input 1 on guitar/variation, and aux on input 2. I put in an AC15 preamp and the preset sound sounds ok, but too clean. I up the drive to breakup and then I get digital clipping. If I drop the guitar volume and add the pad it goes away but I lose tone. I can't believe the unit is meant to do this! What if I had some crazy high output guitar? I've tried adjusting the channel vol and master vol but what ever I do I can hear the clipping. It sounds like it's within the amp model block. Note, in this test scenario I'm not using any other FX blocks, just the amp to try to isolate the issue.
