PDKTDK 30 Posted February 12, 2019 This weekend I was playing with HD500x hooked up via L6 using class a/b III setting in the standard prescribed way (pre-amp from HD/full power). Was running the amp at just over 12:00 and the DT master at about 11:00. About 3 hours in the amp appeared to lose all evidence of power (lights, sound, etc) although power button was engaged on. I restarted and everything was well. I typically put amp in standby and turn master down to zero during breaks. Just seeking feedback as there does not appear to be threads with this same issue. Just when I was starting to get secure using this twice line6 repaired amp. UGH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dlr_41 1 Posted February 19, 2019 NP dude, don't feel bad, my DT50 head crapped out with the same issue. It was on and in standby, I answered a phone call and when I got done the light was off and it was dead.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dlr_41 1 Posted February 19, 2019 Nothing, told me to take it to a authorized service tech. Its out of warranty and as much as I love the amp I'm not sure its worth the headache. It would seem the DT50 had some uhhh, "issues". If I had seen this coming I wouldn't have bought the JTV69S last month and completed the "dream rig". I'm thinking about just building a Marshall clone and cutting my losses. Was thinking of the powercab option but solid state just doesn't cut through like tubes.

PDKTDK 30 Posted February 20, 2019 Mine's been working fine ever since. I was hoping the ever-present guru would give me some feedback. Thanks again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, in all fairness the guy is very busy. Moderates the board and seems maybe he is upper echelon of the service techs. Very knowledgeable and kewl as hell in my book. I'm pretty sure he'll get to ya eventually. You can always find em on a post and private message him. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PDKTDK 30 Posted February 20, 2019 @psarkissian can you review this when you get a second and tell me your thought. It’s pretty odd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psarkissian 354 Posted February 22, 2019 Looking at the service records and S#,... -small board at AC input may be damaged. -the amp board has held up well til now, affects of past may be catching up to it. -power tubes not being changed in more than 2-years can also add to it. -power transformer is probably still good, the output transformer should be checked as well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
