Gearank Recommendation
The DT25 HD appeared on our recommended list for Modeling Amps for Guitar in 2 editions from June 2019 until November 2020 when it was removed due to being discontinued.
Overview
The Line 6 DT25 Head is a bit of a departure from their usual feature packed amps.
With just four basic amp voicings, it may seem a bit streamlined, but its complexity lies in its reconfigurable tube circuit, co-designed by Reinhold Bogner, which employs a 12AX7 preamp tube and two EL84 power amp tubes.
The analog components of this amp are designed to switch between Class A to Class A/B, as well as from triode to pentode, widening its sonic horizons.
It shines best when paired with Line 6 guitar processors that connect via their L6 LINK connection. The amp automatically configures its tube and analog components to match the amp modeling settings on the processor.
If you’re a Line 6 fan, or if you own any of their guitar processors, then the Line 6 DT25 Head is a no-brainer. For those in the other camp, the amp still has a lot to offer with its Bogner designed tube circuit that can be reconfigured conveniently.
