All user reviews for the Line 6 DT25 112 Extension Cabinet

Purchased in May DT25 + HD500, sold in October ...
Personally, clean sounds could go, but still this side "product" / compressed. Very well on the Funk, medium elsewhere. Distos? there I was looking beautiful in every sense. Horrible. Soon as I liked, the next day I was shit ...

In short, I sold everything and bought a tube amp (2550 ceriatone customized at transformers) and some pedals (musikding thank you, it's cheap and it sounds nom nom ...)

And the worst or the best, when I played on the ceriatone: Dynamic. I also rehabilitation of me. With the combo line 6, it always sounds. The must play correctly. And what a pleasure in my ears.

So beware, I do not say it's bad stuff, also it was much better with a real fuzz (purple ram musikding). And for those who need 50 configs that's fine. But for me it is far from a tube amp pedal, whether for sound or ease of use. I prefer to have a good sound mastered 10 means overflown. I think of most of his fingers just so Multis config ...

This is only my opinion, and I can criticize because I was pretty excited about the purchase, and the first days. But my return to "basic" amp proves that it is not for me. And if I need another sound one day, a small fender and JC120 sufficient to cover enough pallets ...

What type of amplification?
The DT25 is a hybrid amp with a preamp modeling and a power stage EL84 tube

What connection?
Side connector is provided fairly and I invite you to see the manual here: https://fr.line6.com/support/manuals/dt25112

What is the power delivered?
Power is 25W Class A / B and Class A 10W Warning, these are real good beefy Watts! It's not made to play in the room. The amp is really hard to take that power and the road safely with a drummer who enters!

What are the settings, the effects?
The only effect is an onboard reverb, good quality.
At amp settings and more Gain / Bass / Mid / Treble / Presence / Volume on both channels, there are four voicings:
- Classic American Clean (Blackface)
- British Crunch (Marshall Plexi)
- Class A Chime (Vox)
- Modern, High-Gain (Mesa Rectifier)
In addition to these voicings, there is a switch Pentode / Triode Switch and a Class A / B - Class A.
Finally, there is a switch Low Volume to play in her room when everyone is asleep!

The configuration is simple?
All settings are easily accessible. We are not facing a multi-effects of the 90's but a real amp. This is rather intuitive and a plate provided with the amp gives some ideas to get started.

The manual is clear and sufficient?
The manual is well done. It is perhaps not helpful to use the amp only practical but when L6 Link attack connection with a POD HD.
In this regard, you can go see my post in forums for the points that the manual does not.

Do you get a good sound easy?
The first results are easily obtained. We must not forget that it is a tube amp and it takes a little push to make it sound. The amp starts breathing at 11 hours and up to two hours on the master.
Then do not hesitate to tweak to find his character. In any case, forget the image of Line 6 amp and listen to this with unprejudiced ears. It sounds, it's a real tube amp and it's very versatile!

Will it fit your style of music?
I play mainly Blues, Blues-Rock and Rock 70 and this amp suits me perfectly. I was looking for a setup more portable and more suitable for small scenes that my usual rig. The voicings I II and III give me complete satisfaction of Pink Floyd Gary Moore via Bonamassa, ZZ Top and Led Zep.

What types of sounds you get and with what settings?
The amp is really versatile and in my registry, I can get any sound I want. I also have a POD HD500 connected via L6 Link, which multiplies the possibilities of the amp going up to 16 the number of usable preamps. This is a really flexible setup allows me to switch from clean to crunch Fenderien Marshallesque without changing amp.

With what guitars or effects do you play?
I use the amp with my Les Paul and POD HD500, but sometimes without the POD with my pedalboard (OD, Fuzz, Treble Booster, Pre EP, Delay). Both configurations work perfectly. The POD is more portable and can use all the simulations preamp that sound really good with the DT25.

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
My preference is to Voicing II, but this is more due to my style of music. I think the four voicings sound good and there is nothing to throw into this amp. Question sonic palette, adding the POD HD really brings another dimension! In short, I love the sounds I get with this amp and research opportunities are enormous.

How long you use it?
1 month now (but daily)

Did you tried many other models before buying it?
- Phaez Sibly
- Fargen Mini Plex MKII
It is the association with POD HD500 which I already had my choice was mainly motivated.

What is so special that you love the most, least?
+ The sounds that we obtain
+ The versatility with POD HD500
+ The touch sensitivity

- Low Volume Mode (I use an attenuator instead)

How would you rate the quality / price?
Pretty good considering the quality and range of sounds. In addition it is well finished and solid!

With experience, you do again this choice?
Certainly. Perhaps a DT50 if I did not have a 100w head and more.

Brand: Bogner Line6 in collaboration with
Type: Combo
technology: an all-tube preamp and 2 power
power: 25w with low mode volume of the apartment
HP: 1HP 12-inch
Weight: 25kg I confess that I felt again, it is very heavy (only downside)
Versatility: 10/10

Ease of use: simple and complete, the knobs are progressive and can really vary the sound
each is backlit knobs allowing good visibility
Four major type of the very rich and well defined, sustain great

the manual should contain two pages in French, but it is not really necessary, the use is very intuitive

looking for a good sound in different musical styles such as blues and metal.
I board not need effects pedals for extra sound or distortion and more

The knobs are reactive, the presence knob and the reverb can really have a crystal clear, bold, sweet, snapping and dynamic.
versatility and probably one of the biggest strength of this amp.

I use it for a few days but I am completely satisfied
what I love most: the versatility

number of other models tested: as seller music store I would say a lot I do not count. I do have the chance to try and compare a lot of models

value for money: what is available for this amp, it is relatively inexpensive. So I would do the same choice

only drawback for most: poor image of line6 with musicians.
I want to say that this is a true all-tube Bogner signed line6 AND (do not forget)

I am the first ... ...

- Integration with the HD500 and changes sound instant ... DIVINE ... therefore also controllable from the PC ...


No negative after 2 weeks of use ...

The configuration is it simple? : Yes
The manual is clear and sufficient? : Yes ... I did not even open
Do you get a good sound easy? Yes and all volumes

I do not put "only" 9 / 10 because of some changes in config via the HD500 means a small bed. This bed is due to mechanical changes of the amp. It is slightly audible but that's normal considering the change of voicing + immersion in class A / B + or A change pentode / triode ...

Right for your style of music? :
>>> I make covers ... So yes because it can cover all styles of music with equal success.

What kind of sound you get and with what settings. ("Crystalline", "fat ",....)?
>>> ALL ... I rule from the HD-500. In fact, preamps and amps of the HD-500 are replaced with equivalent config at the DT-25. There are 4 voicing the DT-25
- Type Fender
- Type Marshall
- Type Vox
- Mesa-type
The voicing changes depending on the type of amp selected from the HD-500. It's magical and it sounds fabulous. The HD-500 sounds are truly sublime. It's magical because when changing preset at the HD-500 config at the DT-25 also changes.

With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
>>> J "have a new Variax Tyler (a 59): it is also drivée by the HD-500. So I spend a sound to a sound acdcien pinkfloydien ... a sound ... a metalliquesque pffffff ... it's ... no limits ... in a split second.

With this amp I discovered the true power of the HD-500. We discover the true character of the different effects. For example the color of overdrive, the distos ... listening to ... it's impressive to see great.

Compared to the HD500. We must review all its patches to reflect the quality of the DT-25. But it's very intuitive.
1). Choose the voicing amp (either on the DT-25 / or on the HD-500 / PC either on the application)
2) Select and apply effects
3). Save the HD-500 (or via the PC application)
It's great and it works ...

How long do you use the 2 weeks

Have you tried many other models before buying it: I play for 25 years. I had a lot of amps. I played for years on my old head Mark Marshall 2, 1976. But then there she is retiring

What is so special that you love the most, least? The sound quality and magic of Variax integration + HD500 ... It is really a hair of the original but it must be combinsaison of 3 to obtain this result. It is such now that I fully appreciate the nuances between models of Variax. Before I had an Atomic. It was already well with the HD-500 and Variax but with the DT-25 is entering a new dimension.

How would you rate the quality / price? EXCELLENT: 750 euros for such a sound palette ... Clients include:
> Variax = 1300
> HD-500 = 500
> DT-25 = 750
= 2550 euros ... ca is a sum ... BUT this is nothing compared to the investment of + guitars & amps & + + multiple effects ...

With experience, you do again this choice? ... Oh yes ... but the DT-25 has just been released and I dared not invest too much in the Euro 1300 DT-50. Regarding the DT-25, I'll probably buy the firm extension.

CONCLUSION:
> I love the combination VARIAX JTV59 HD500 + + DT-25. In passing I note my appreciation of the Variax JTV59. Beautiful and very good guitar and even in setting aside its properties Variax.
> Unable to turn back even if there is a risk of failure is more important than in the more traditional stuff seen all the electronics that this board.
