Yes... this is frustrating... it started happening again.

Although it takes awhile... for me, it was worth sticking with both (dt25 and HD500x). Awesome sounds. I also use the four patch method (to a point).. i like have it set to have 8 different effects on one patch... my clean patch can get dirty, but the dirty patch is the heaviest. Attached is one of the main set lists I use. The first 5 banks are used with the DT25 and HD500x. Banks 6 through 10 are used with the HD500x going straight to the PA (or into the effects return of another amp)... and banks11 through 16 (mainly bank 16a) are used with my acoustic and the HD500x straight into the PA. For your case, I suggest starting with bank 1 . hope that helps. Master 12-29-17 (2).5xs

One other thing to think about is the amp you use. If you use the DT25 or DT50, then the HD500x was built to work with those amps... the amps will reconfigure themselves (really, sortof, don't know the tech speak...) based on the type of amp you have selected in the HD. I am one of those that have spent months trying to get a great tone.... or should say refining great tones ... and with the DT25 (two now) ... I love it. The flexibility is great and the sound is wonderful! IMHO....

jandrio,Thanks... I know this is an old post but this is great..... what would be even greater and you could probably make some $$ is if you went a little further and could somehow show the settings for the amps and effects blocks. That would be great!

If you are changing the volume, make sure the volume has not been assign to the foot pedal. Some people (me:)) assign the volume of the amp to the expression pedal 2 and give it a minimum value of 0 and a maximum of whatever... that way you can use it like a volume pedal and free up a block in the chain. Sometimes I will forget I have done this and change the channel volume on the patch, save it and it doesn't save... then lots of cursing until I remember I need to change the volume on the expression pedal ... then I just laugh at myself!

This question is about losing volume when adding amp B. I have two DT25 using the link6 to a HD500x. The patch has one amp in the line and Amp1 = Amp A, Amp2 = Amp A... so both DT25's are using Amp A ... there is no Amp B. This setup sounds great and has a good volume. When I set AmpB to an amp in the line, then assign Amp2 to Amp B.... there is a very noticeable loss in volume. Does anyone else have this issue?

18 months between changes... wow. I've had to change my dt25 tubes 3 or 4 times over the past 3 years. I love these amps but they seem delicate.

Just got a second DT25 and noticed a couple of things. First, it sounds great and works great with the HD500x. My questions: 1. The labels on my new DT25 or more yellow than white (like my other DT25). Is this normal or a problem? Has anyone else had this issue? 2. When I turn on the DT25 and the standby is still on, there is a soft hum. The hum goes away when I turn the standby off and it sounds great. My other DT25 does not have this hum. I have tried this connected to my HD500x and not connected. Just wondering if anyone else had this issue. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. Jake, I had turned the knobs many times on both the pod and the dt. The tubes must have been very worn because (knock on wood) it is still working.

Just to update... I put new EH EL84s and a new EH 12ax7 in the amp and so far, the problem with the presence (or any knob) jumping went away.

thanks for the response. are you talking about the labeling issue or the presence issue?

Got a hd500x back in 2015. after many hours... i love it. I then got a dt25. I've had some problems with the amp ... from fuses blowing, to tubes going bad... probably put in 4 sets over the last few years. When it works it is great. My latest problem with the amp is the presence (or sometimes the mid) would shoot to about 75% without me doing anything. This happens when I use the AES cable or the XLR cable. I just bought another dt25, partly to see if they would change on a new amp, and to have a backup... (or to look cool on stage by having two amps :)). The first thing I noticed is the presence (or the mid) behaves as it should. It doesn't change by itself. The second thing I noticed is it sounds much better than my old amp with the same settings. I think I may have a tube going bad again in my old amp. Ok, hope you are still reading because here are my questions: 1. The new amp labels that light up (volume, bass, treble, etc.) are yellow, not white like my old amp. Is that the way it is supposed to be or do those lights eventually get dimmer and go out? The amp sounds great and seems to work fine so it really isn't a big deal. 2, I wanted to play through both amps so I hooked them together using the l6 link. On the HD500x I set the l6:Control to Amp1:=AmpA; Amp2=AmpA. It looks like I have to set this for each patch. Is there a way to globally set this, so I don't have to go do this to all my patches? I'd also love to hear if anyone else is using this setup and what variations you guys use. Thanks.

Not to highjack the thread, but are you glad you went the helix route?

If all you want is a boost for your lead, you can add the Studio EQ ... leave the lo and hi gain at 0 (so it doesn't change the sound) and bump the gain up some... I usually set it 6. This works great for me.

Thanks for the response... The mid knob has done this as well.... This has happened with both mic and AES/EBU cable.
