ezut Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Does not work Helix LT with DT25 after 2.8 update. Still does not change the amplifier switches and pipe settings. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffjones1980 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Keep me posted I was thinking of getting a DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s working on my Helix and DT25. Are you getting audio over the L6 Link connection to the DT25? Is your DT25 running the 2.0 firmware?

ezut Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 The sound goes through just not becoming a reinforcing topology. The firmware of DT25 is good. So far I have used Pod HD 300 and it works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwherry Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Yeah. Me too. Sound OK, but no switching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, you need to have the 2.0 update installed on the DT for it to work with the Helix. If audio is mint through, but control isn’t, I suspect your DT needs updated.

vaxed Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I'm getting the same. Used the template, went into the stomp mode. None of the foot switches do what they are labelled I am on the latest version of the software for the DT25. There is little explanation in the manual about setting this up. Could do with some kind of video from someone who knows how to make this work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe there is a template for controlling them via L6 Link. It's not really needed. Just go to the output block and page over to the DT settings (in HX Edit, click on the DT25/50 tab). There you'll see all the relevant power amp parameters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klangmaler Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Quote DT50/DT25 Remote Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Edit Helix can now remotely adjust the real tube topology settings and other parameters in one or two L6 LINK-connected DT25 or DT50 amplifiers. When one DT25 or DT50 is connected via L6 LINK (110-ohm AES/EBU cable), it receives a mono signal from Helix; when two DT250 or DT50 amplifiers are daisy-chained via L6 LINK, the first cab in the chain receives the left signal and the second cab receives the right signal. TIP: Just like with any amp, cab, or effect parameter, DT parameters can be quickly assigned to footswitches or Snapshots. From the Output > Multi or Output > Digital block, press PAGE > three times. Turn Knob 1 (DT 25/50 Remote) to select “Per Preset” or “Global.” If you don’t plan on changing DT topology settings along with Helix presets, choose “Global.” Turn Knob 2 (DT Select) to specify which DT amp you want to controlDT 1, DT 2, or both DT amps simultaneously (“1+2 Link”). Normally, you should leave this set to “1+2 Link,” which edits both DT amps simultaneously, to maintain phase coherence. DT Channel When set to Channel A, the DT switches to Channel A and its preamp is bypassed for when using a preamp model in Helix. When set to Channel B, the DT switches to Channel B and its preamp is activated TIP: Assign a stomp footswitch (or snapshots) to simultaneously bypass a Helix preamp block AND switch a connected DT amp to Channel B. This gives you a wider variety of tones in the same preset, without the DSP overhead required to run two simultaneous Preamp blocks. DT Topology Changes the DT amp’s negative feedback loop topology. Choose “I (Tight)” for behavior reminiscent of the great American Blackface amps of the 60s, choose “II (Loose)” for dialing in echoes of classic British amps, choose “III (ZNF)” for a very open or dynamic feeling amp, or choose “IV (Resonant)” to add low frequency resonance that pairs well with high gain tones. DT Power Amp Sets the DT amp’s operating class, wattage, and bias type. Choose “Class A” for more dynamics with greater touch sensitivity; choose “Class AB” for greater headroom and power DT Tube Config Changes the configuration of the DT’s power tubes. Chose “Pentode” for clear and commanding tone; choose “Triode” for quieter and rounder sounds with a more vintage feel. DT Reverb Turns the DT amp’s built-in spring reverb on and off DT Rev Mix Determines the amount of built-in spring reverb DT 12AX7 Boost (DT50 only) When Low Volume Mode is off, applies a volume boost DT Feedback Cap (DT50 only) Sets the DT amp’s feedback capacitor type DT B+ Voltage (DT50 only) Sets the DT amp’s phase inverter B+ voltage NOTE: For more information on DT amps, see the DT25 Pilot’s Guide or the DT50 Pilot’s Guide. Special attention to the underlined stuff ;-) If you choose an output block in Helix, you can change all these parameters. You (only) need the L6 LINK connection (from Helix to DT amp)!

Jugghaid Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Also make sure your dt has updated firmware. Mine didn't and I had to update it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
