Perhaps the voicings are digital and for matching with a HD. There is digital cab simulations on the direct out.Īll in all it is a real tube amp with selectable circuitry.

I was under the impression that the DT25/50's uses selectable hardwired topologies. with pedal! I believe the DT line will also end up at the bottom of the list value-wise because of its digital pedigree. I can barely get rid of an old Flextone XL at $125. Sorry Line 6 - no matter what, it's not a true blue analog amplifier and I'm afraid resale of a hybrid amp - no matter how snazzy - will fall below an amp of a similar capability in the future. I think $1000 US for a hybrid amp like the DT25 is just too expensive. I just wanted an amp that didn't need firmware updates, needed rebooting, or based on digital technology to be an amp. The problem with no MV is that changing volumes for both a clean and dirty channel in different settings means the effects will react differently in different situations - or at least, that's what I expected to be a complication with a non-MV amp. The Supersonic.wow! It has those Fender cleans in spades! But, I didn't like the drive sound and there's no master volume. The Bugera was nice, even impressive for the price but the cleans weren't my taste. What it came down to is this: if I had to buy an amp just for the sake of being a good amp, which would it be? I also considered a bigger version of the Valvetronix. I tried the Bugera V22 and a Fender Supersonic 22. I'd deal with lugging an 80lbs 2x12 if I had to. I have a Variax 300, the HD500 so why not the DT25? Possibly a Spider Valve of some sort. I was thinking something with an FX return so I could use the 4CM because I really use the effects quite a bit for my sound. The real shortcoming of AD30 is the size: 10" speaker in a cabinet barely big enough to hold that speaker. My favorites ended up being the Park model and the 800 models.Īnd, I'll tell you, the feel of this setup.no doubt due to the HD500.was fantastic! I've used the HD500 pretty much as a front-end, using the combo power amp setting and only using the PRE versions of the amps. This worked well - the Valvetronix technology really does have a "give" and "push" similar to a tube amp. I've been an HD500 owner since late 2010, playing live with a modded (for an FX loop) Vox AD30VT. Try all the preamps.they all sound amazing except for the AC30! I've set the Vox's loop to +4, Master on the HD500 about 3 o'clock, combo amp power. The Hiwatt was a bit lackluster - but louder when clean than the AC30 model. The AC15 model had a robust tone to it.not clean.just on the edge of break up. Z - now I get it! Now, I see that it's a lot like the original Supersonic.and it sounded brilliant. One preamp that was a standout was the Dr. Even the Fenders sounded nice but lacked that body like the 800.

Wow! The cleans are full bodied and have character, and when used with the Chandler Tube Driver just sounds fantastic. What I wanted to find was one preamp that could be clean, and then use pedals to dirty it up. It seems to me the purpose of the AC30 preamp was its overdrive tone.I guess Line 6 figured, when you have Fender cleans at your disposal.

The output is so low, if you wish to keep a clean tone. I say "almost" because ironically, the Line 6 AC30 preamp was my least favorite. With AC30.almost all of the preamps were outstanding in one way or another. With the Valvetronix, my favorite preamps were the Bassman, the Park, and the 800. The switching between the Normal and TB channels meant adding more gear to the mix. It seems a bit shameful not to use the Vox's real preamps.but the problem there is you really need to crank an AC30 to get that tone! Truth is, I can't play that loud at home, or at practice.and stage volume would be too loud if I used the AC30 at "full speed". What I decided to do was not use the 4CM but use the Vox simply as a backend, just like I was using the Valvetronix AD30VT before getting the Vox AC30. Or, you could resolve to use the normal channel only using boosts and OD pedals from the HD500 for gain tones. The HD500 can act as an AB switcher (two pan effects set to turn on and off alternately with a FS assignment, input B set to "same" into an FX Loop effect) but this blows up when you stick a mono effect before the FX Loop.or you could use a hardware box to do this.but it reduces the all-in-one solution of the HD500.

The HD500 into the AC30 sounds glorious! I'd say the biggest issue in using an AC30 in a 4CM is utilizing both the Normal and TB channel in a 4CM is how to go about selecting either channel. I can't respond to the OP, or others who replied so I thought I'd do it here. I was Googling "HD500 FX Loop Vox AC30CC" and came across this post in the old Line6 forum:
