The Line 6 DT50 212 Guitar Combo Amplifier is medium sized with an amplification system that is able to configure and adapt its analog components and digital modeling in real time. This means that when you select a model, the DT50 Amp 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. Matched with 2 Celestion speakers, the DT50 212 gives you great tone and authentic feel at all volumes all the time.

Four Way Voicing
Classic American clean, chimey and crunchy English tones, modern high-gain distortion – all great amplifiers are based on one of these four celebrated amp voicings. DT50 has them all, and the four-way Voicing switch on the front panel is your speed-dial to each one.
Behind each Voicing is the perfect recipe of dynamic analog circuitry (which includes tube configuration and negative feedback loop topology), and HD amp modeling technology (which fuels the preamp and tone stack). The choice is yours.

Voicing I: American clean. High amount of negative feedback for a tight sound that’s reminiscent of 60s-style American cleans.
Voicing II: English crunch. Medium amount of negative feedback for a looser tone that echoes classic English breakup.
Voicing III: English chime. Zero negative feedback for an open, dynamic feel.
Voicing IV: Modern high-gain. Low amount of negative feedback (and added low-frequency resonance).
Switchable analog components.
Each Voicing can become a classic powerhouse or totally customized thanks to tube amp guru Reinhold Bogner’s uniquely flexible design. The (2) 12AX7 preamp and 50W, (2) EL34 power section offer easy reconfiguration of operating class (Class A/Class AB) and power tube mode (Pentode/Triode) for a wide range of feels and tones that can be added to each Voicing: modern or vintage, tight or dynamic.
Operating Class
Class A Switched to Class A, DT50 runs at 25 watts and is cathode biased. The feel is open and dynamic with greater touch sensitivity.
Class AB Switched to Class AB, DT50 runs at 50 watts and is fixed biased. This produces a tighter feel with more headroom, which is perfect for louder clean tones.
Power Tube Mode
Pentode Big, loud and clear for commanding tones.
Triode Quieter, rounder and darker with a more vintage-style sound.
Time-tested Recipes for Perfect Tones

Low-volume mode.
HD modeling technology really comes alive in low-volume mode. Perfect for recording or quieter gigs, low-volume mode lets the HD modeling technology provide both preamp and power amp tones. You can perform with all the grit and gain you need without the volume that normally comes with it.
Celestion speakers: A history of great tone.
Celestion® guitar speakers are world renowned for their exceptional definition, clarity, and feel. Whether it’s sporting a Celestion Vintage 30 or a G12H90 that was custom-voiced for Line 6, each DT50 boasts clean tones that sparkle and sing, creamy overdrives that respond to the intricacies of your picking, and searing high-gain tones that launch themselves from the cabinet.
