n9nu Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi I just purchased both a DT50 212 and the POD 500HDX and was wondering if I still needed the MIDI to USB adapter to flash/upgrade the DT50's firmware (if needed at present). If it is updated, then I would hold of until I need to update the amp again and then buy one. I just figured I could use the USB port on the POD to route any updates needed to the amp via that L6 digital connection. If I do need an adapter, does anyone have any recommendations? I saw a simple interface from Newegg below: Hosa Model USM-422 6 ft. Tracklink MIDI to USB Interface, MIDI I/O to USB Type A, 6 ft $24.99Thank You Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 yes you still need midi to flash the DT amps... i highly recommend an m-audio UNO device... you may get by with others... but this interface has proven to be the most reliable.

TBone55 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'll second that. There have been issues with lesser quality cables being used. I myself use a pre-sonus studio one but this is for recording to PC and you don't have to spend that kind of money. The M-Audio UNO will work just fine.
