benbutterworth Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hi, I am using two DT25 amps in L6 link with my HD 500. It sounds very good. One thing puzzles me, I cannot use the effects loop or insert HD500 effects AFTER the amp in L6 when set up as Amp A and Amp B in the setup menu - I can only use them BEFORE the amp. I have to set them up as left and right amps. Does this make a difference to the tone? Allocated as Amp A and Amp B is it simply allocating the path and the amp icon is just an indicator of the amp chain - where is the effects loop in the chain when set up as Amp A and Amp B? The amp seems to be the end of the chain. Which seems odd. I can't understand why it is necessary to have this setting. Any thoughts are helpful!

benbutterworth Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Ok, so I have worked out that if I put a reverb in front of the amp it distorts (or can do with overdrive) so this works much like a real amp. However, if I then set up the DT25's as left and right and put a reverb after the mixer, it sounds really tinny and fizzy. Am I doing something wrong on the settings in the mixer?

benbutterworth Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 If both amps are active, and the reverb is after the mixer it also reduces the reverb in the mix. If switch one amp out with my ABY switcher - the reverb is bigger in the mix. Very odd.Perhaps it's because I run a dual signal into the HD500? One to the Guitar input, the other to the aux? This enables me to put pedals in front of the guitar input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazzy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I've been playing around with the HD500 running Stack Front into a DT50 Head. I haven't tried the Line 6 Link yet, but I can fun effects after the mixer this way and it really sounds good with the Amp set clean. I don't understand why you cant put a reverb after the amp model, it really needs to be there? Whoops, I found another thread you made here.

benbutterworth Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 I don't understand the reason why they have this option. Surely you just run it like a normal legs nd right. Having the Amp A/Amp B option seems odd to me. Anybody care to elaborate. The mixer isn't intuitive either. In fact, it's a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
