I prefer to use no cab on the DT because it's an HD cab and I presume the Helix cabs are better. I use a full amp+cab and it sounds fantastic!

Seem like you expext to get crap from Line6, so why complain when you get what you expect? You've been using Line6 for 15 years without satisfaction. Are you masochistic? Why not find some crap that is more satisfying?

Used my DT25 - helix combination for the first time with a band. Sounded absolutely fantastic! Cuts right through. Compared to the HD500X - DT25 combination it's like a thivk blanket was taken of the amp! I was pretty satisfied at the time but now I know better :)

You could make the backup per IR and put the number before the name. It's some work but you would only have to do it once.

B) Cool

Try the high pass filter on the cab. I turn it down to 5000 max

Great lyrics! ;) just kidding, nice guitar sound.

1/4" - Line XLR - Mic Digital - N/A 1/4" and XLR are the same volume Digital is louder than 1/4" and XLR Multi is much louder than Digital

You're right of course. I was at work when I wrote my remark. Once at home I looked and realised I was indeed wrong :)

When using a full amp you already have a cab in there as well so the dt cab is certainly not needed then.

Why is the volume when using Mulit Output much hugher that when using other outputs like 1/4", XLR or digital?

No, I was wondering the same thing on the way home :) I'll have to check that out some other time.

Tried my Helix-DT25 combo today at high volume. Sweet! :) I have the cabs, pre amp and mics all turned off end us Line6 Link. I didn't use any midi cable but probably will add that to the equasion later on to be able to change topolgy and such. I'm actually using full amps instead of per amps. At this time it seems to sound better to me. This might change after more experience. I changed the way I worked with the POD HD500 many times before I found what worked best fore me. What do you use?

Don't you think that selecting No Cab will also turn of the cab to XLR? What cab would the DT then choose to send there?

In DT Edit you can turn the cab sim off. At this time I don't have the midi commands in my presets, I just turned the pre amp, cab sim and mic off in DT-Edit. Still figuring out what the final method will be. I think the Speaker and Cab of the DT is pretty flat respaonse and needs a cab sim to make the amp sounf more authentic. That's what the thing was develloped for, to use different cab sims for different amps. My experience useing no cab sim with DT + POD HD500(X) weren't very positive. That's why I feel the best will probably to use no cab on the DT and then use the better cabs from HELIX. When connecting the DT through Line6 Link all amp controlles are useless on the DT (I turn all knobs to 0). Only the master volume for the power amp works. This means to me that all processing is on HELIX and the DT only delivers tube power amplification. I still need to hear it at high volume though to be sure it really sounds good. I'll keep you posted

I wonder, why do you use the microphone and cab sim from the DT? I would think these are better in the Helix. I'm still searching for the best method and my logic says DT to no pre amp, no cab and no mic. I haven't had the chance to hear it at high volume though. What are your thoughts and experiences?

Great Idea, saves a stomp! Please submit to ideascale!

Just found this one: http://www.thomann.de/gb/thon_effect_case_for_line_6_helix.htm Think I will get one!

I have also disabled the cab sim in the DT-25 because I want to use the better cab sims of Helix. It sounds great at moderate volume. Still have to wait and see how it holds up at high volume but I think it will be fine. I use Line 6 Link, no pre amp, no cab sim. I can switch topology through midi, no problem there.

Right! thanks for the clear explanation.

Ok, I understand. Thanks! Just one thing. Why do you need guitar body IRs? Doesn't you accoustig guitar sound as an accoustic guitar allready? I would think you need accoustic amp cab IRs. Please explain, I'm genually interested for future setup.

Have you tried high cut on the cab? I cut it way down to somewhere between 2000 and 4000. Before I did that it sounded like crap to me. I wonder why it goes to 20.000. As far as I know guitar cabs don't have that kind of range

Isn't the Studio Tube Pre in Helix good for that?

Exported my presets in 1.01 Updated Helix software to 1.02 Updated Helix to 1.0.4.1 Did the 9-10 switch thingy Imported presets. All fine! All on Windows 10
