jrcfishon 0 Posted November 24, 2017 Hi, totally new to Line 6 here so please excuse my ignorance. My brother in law passed away and left me his dt25 and hd500x. I tried to get sound out if just the amp to no avail do I checked the speaker fuse, speaker, tubes and even bypassed the preamp but can't get anything out of the amp. Does the hd500x need to be hooked up to the amp via the link for it to work? Also I don't have a midi interface so can I go through the he to update the amp? Thanks in advance for your help!

silverhead 8,819 Posted November 24, 2017 The amp should work on its own without the Pod connected. Sorry but I can't help your any more than clearing that point up for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt_Brown 16 Posted November 29, 2017 As Silverhead says, the amp (and 500x) are stand alone bits of kit. Are you getting any lights on the DT? If you peer in the back do the tubes glow? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psarkissian 362 Posted November 29, 2017 http://line6.com/support/manuals/ ... if you don't have hard copy of the manuals, the link will take you there. It's best to start there so you will have an idea of what it is you have and what it does. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrcfishon 0 Posted December 2, 2017 Have the manual. Checked the tubes and they are not getting hot at all. Swapped them out and still no good. Did the reset, checked fuses and speaker cable also. I don't have a midi interface to update the firmware. I guess that's what I should try next? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillBee 397 Posted December 4, 2017 If there still are no lights, sound or the tubes are not glowing and lifeless then it time for a trip to a service tech for a peek under the hood. Could be a transformer issue to supplying power. Firmware won't fix that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psarkissian 362 Posted December 4, 2017 @ jrcfishon,... log a support ticket in your Line 6 account, it will need to be checked out by a Line 6 authorized service center who knows the inside of this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
