  1. LMK if you want the actual patches. I put a lot of time in with this. It was with a DT50, so YMMV.
  2. Yes. It works very well. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Pros: Models - You tell the Helix to override the pre-amp models that come in the DT25/50. I feel like the Helix pre-amp models are vastly superior to those that shipped with the last firmware update in the DT. Topology - With the single L6 cable, you can effect every panel setting in the DT25/50, plus some hidden ones that you can't touch from the front panel. You don't need any MIDI nonsense or anything. It works natively. (This is amazing). Dream Rig - I wish Line6 would've kept working on this. At stage volume, this is the best rig I've ever used. However, all of these come at a cost. Complete Configuration/Backup - Using HX Edit, you get to tweak every single setting in the Helix and the AMP, and you can actually save them off to disk. This allows you to have several different setlists if you are going FOH, through your AMP, bedroom volume, live volume, etc. Cons: Fragile - The DT25/50 have a known power stage problem. I have had to have it serviced, but it seems to be working fine now. I don't know how much longer you'll be able to get these guys repaired, though. No DT25/50 compatible setlist OOB - All of the patches in the Helix banks assign IR, full models (Pre and power) and use the same DT25/50 topology regardless of amp model. The default is Topology 1, Power AB, Tube Triode, etc. This default sounds like garbage at stage volume generally across the board with the possible exception of the US Double models. Lots of work - I have created a setlist for a lot of the sounds I like, but this was done by painstakingly AB'ing each sound at stage volume with a DT50 212. I'm happy to provide my setlist and settings if you like. I've attached my patches and the HX settings you need to flip. I'd also love it if Line6 engineers actually had a DT50 212 compatible set of patches. Line6HelixtoDTConnectivity.pdf
  3. I went ahead and set all the DT Topology settings to the best of my ability for the first 13 presets of Helix 2.81. Would anyone be interested in that backup? Can you even use someone else's backup? I was going to try to put it up for free on the Market, but you have to be a vendor. Then, I was going to put it up in CustomTone, but it looks like you have to go patch by patch. That would take an enormous amount of time. Any suggestions? Can I just upload my .hxb here? Here is the spreadsheet I used to create it. The rig: Line 6 Helix Floor 2.81 DT 50 Head 2015 Les Paul Traditional Pro III Marshall 1922 Cab Line6HelixtoDTConnectivity.pdf
