[NAMM] Line 6 updates its POD HD and DT amps

Firmware v2.0 for the DT Series amps adds:

• 26 new HD preamps (30 in total) that can be combined with any of the Reinhold Bogner’s reconfigurable tube power amp topology (four negative feedback loop options, A or AB operating class, pentode/triode power tube configuration, 12AX7 normal/boost, B+ voltage phase inverter high/low and feedback capacitor)
• Save 8 original voicings (4 per channel)
• Configure each voicing with a choice of 12 reverbs, each with unique parameter settings
