Just finally got around to mounting mine to my Pedaltrain also and I don't find there's any issues with the extra board angle.

Fantastic Darrell, appreciate your forethought on this and thanks for sharing!

Yep here's hoping for full integration in the near future. The only thing I feel is missing with my setup right now is a chart or table detailing which power amp settings on the DT work best with each preamp/amp on the Helix. Unfortunately I sold my HD500 prematurely otherwise I would have taken down the basic info for each model in there at least.

Yep I couldn't be happier with the results and it has helped to streamline my recordings without having to worry about micing a cab anymore, between the Helix cabs and the few IRs I've found on line, it's pretty tough to beat. One thing I want to try is I've read on the forum that some people have gotten better sound results by turning up the sample rate to 96khz for the L6 link and also running the full amp models as opposed to just the preamps.

Robbie, that's a good idea about the tube pre in the fx loop. Where do you usually run it in your signal chain? Colonel, to my knowledge with my setup it is still utilizing the tube power amp section out to the DI, providing I don't switch to low volume mode but maybe some one more familiar with the DT series could chime in on that.

OK so here is my setup guys. First off I used the DT Edit program and a USB MIDI interface to bypass everything in the amp. I turned off all the preamps, reverb, DI out cab simulation, etc. Essentially I've got it paired down to a tube power amp with the added bonus of having the topology settings, pentode/triode settings and class A/AB settings. Next up I hook my Helx up to it via L6 link and midi, then I run an XLR from the DT25's DI out to the Helix's mic in. Now in my Helx patch I set up path one as guitar input run through my effects and Helix preamp and then the output of this path to digital (for the L6 link signal). On path 2 I set my input to mic run the signal through 1 or 2 cabs and then set the output to XLR, which I will then feed to FOH or to my recording interface. I'll also usually run it into my Alto TS110a initially so that I can fine tune what cab(s) I want to use, mic settings and filters so I can hear the changes in real time as I tweak. A couple things with this setup is your aren't going to want to use the DT's low volume mode as this bypasses the tube power amp section and obviously make sure you still have a cab or load box connected also. Hope this helps you guys out and gives you some insights into what I was talking about.

I love my DT25 with the Helix, I really think it takes it to the next level. As far as the DT's XLR out signal, I actually disabled that va midi and then I route it back into the Helix and run it through a cab sim and back out to FOH OR into my interface for recording.

Although I haven't tried it myself, I believe that you could do downtuning with the whammy and not have any tracking issues, especially if your only going down a half or whole step. In regards to saving global effect presets, that is not possible but I believe I've seen an idea scale on it. On the plus side though, you can copy and paste blocks between presets, so once you've got it set up it is easy to duplicate that setting to your other presets.

Great, thanks for all the responses.

Alright thanks for the quick reply, is there a way to copy paste blocks or do I just duplicate my settings manually?

Quick question is it possible to assign one effect to two different Footswitches in a patch? For instance, I have a patch with a delay and a phaser and I want to have the delay on a Footswitch by itself but I also want it on another one tied in with the phaser. Whenever I assign the delay to a switch and then try to assign the delay/phaser to another one, it overrides my previous setting. Any help/clarification would be appreciated.

Alright then, I guess I'll do the same with my HD500 and best guess on the new models. Thanks for your input guys.

That is exactly what I am looking for, is there anything online with that breakdown or is it just a matter of hooking up and HD and verifying what is being paired with what.

Hmm I think you may have misunderstood me (although your patch will come in handy). Basically I'm looking to match the DT settings appropriately with the preamp of the Helix the same way the 500 would when in use with it.

Hey guys I've been looking at setting up my Helix as a midi controller for my DT25's power amp settings (NFL, class, etc.). Anyway, I was wondering if any one new of a breakdown somewhere that would allow me to set everything up properly to best match the preamps in the Helix. Thanks in advance for your help.
