Line 6 DT50 Guitar Amplifier Head
The Line6 DT50 Guitar Amplifier Head gives you a perfect combination of power and tonal flexibility. The DT50 is a dream come true for guitarists who love and appreciate more than one style of amp. You now will have the option of selecting tonal settings from four different iconic amp models. Powered by 2 12AX7 preamp tubes and 2 EL34s, the Line6 DT50 Head is ready for anything. You no longer need to buy several amps if you are a guitarist who is involved with multiple projects playing multiple styles. You will have unlimited tone at your fingertips in a portable amplifier head. All you need is the accompanying Line6 4x12 speaker enclosure and you will have the rig you’ve dreamed about!
The Line 6 DT50 Guitar Amp Head is able to configure and adapt its analog components and digital modeling in real time. This means that when a model is selected, the DT50 instantly reconfigures the tube power section to provide the optimal tone. The digital section monitors the tube power section and can adjust the DSP in real-time. At high volumes, the tubes provide more distortion. At low volumes, the modeling delivers more of the coloration. The digital section now “talks” to the analog section, and vice versa.
Revolutionary Bogner tube design meets HD Modeling technology
New Line 6 HD modeling technology fully integrates with Reinhold Bogner’s most flexible tube design. They breathe unparalleled warmth, feel and depth into the amp voicings on which all great amplifiers are based – classic American cleans, chimey and crunchy English tones, and modern high-gain distortion. The 4-way Voicing switch is the heart of DT50, and flicking this switch starts a chain reaction that produces these incredible tones.
Brand-new Line 6 HD modeling technology fuels each Voicing’s preamp and tone stack, and automatically pairs them with dynamic analog circuitry including tube configuration and negative feedback topology (courtesy of Reinhold Bogner’s uniquely versatile 50-watt, EL34 power section). You get high amounts of negative feedback when you want your American clean tones to gleam and shine, zero negative feedback when you want your chimey English tones to sport their signature dynamics, and everything in between. All four Voicings deliver their heralded sonic signatures.
Want to put your own John Hancock on these sonic signatures?
Use the front-panel Class A/Class AB and Pentode/Triode switches. Ever wonder what your favorite English Class AB amp sounded like in Class A? Want to run your favorite single-ended Class A amp tone and give it more headroom in Class AB? Well now you can.
2-channels for 1-touch analog reconfiguration
With beauty deeper than its striking good looks, DT50 has a traditional two-channel format that is stunningly simple and instantly usable.
Get total analog reconfiguration with one touch. Any combination of Voicing, operating class and power tube mode can be assigned to either channel. For example, Channel A can be Voicing I/Class A/Pentode, and Channel B can be Voicing IV/Class AB/Triode. This streamlined and straightforward layout is free of complexity and learning curve, and is ideal for any gigging musician.
Both channels have independent reverb for as much or as little “sproing” you need.
Real analog flexibility
Sonic flexibility is a big part of the DT50 blueprint. Fortifying that concept is the behind-the-scenes communication between the tube sections and the HD amp modeling technology. Each one adapts and adjusts based on what the other is doing. For example, at high volumes the HD amp modeling technology “backs off” to allow for the natural power-tube distortion to take over and color the tone. At low volumes, the opposite happens. As a result, DT50 yields outstanding “sweet spot” tone at all volume levels.
DT50 also offers a “low-power” mode, which is perfect for recording or quieter gigs. Low-power mode lets the HD modeling technology provide both preamp and power amp tones so you can perform with all the grit and gain you need without the volume that normally comes with it.
Looking for total floor control? Connect a POD® HD multi-effect pedal via L6 LINK™ connection to control DT50 Voicings and more while utilizing the enormous collections of vintage and modern FX and HD amp models in POD HD. (Sold separately.)
Even when using the DT50 as a straight-up, stand-alone tube amplifier you can still employ its MIDI I/O to a standard MIDI controller for on-the-fly switching of all of its tube parameters.
Wrap it all in the tank-like construction that both Line 6 and Bogner are famous for, and you’ve got years of trouble-free performance on the road, and in the studio.
