Cscsiga Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I'm about to buy the DG Microtubes 500v2, but I have some concerns regarding its reliability. I read some topics about its overheating problem and other "just a pop and stopped working" stuff. I'd play the head almost always on stage a lot with a miced 810 cab, and as I remember according to the topics, these problems occurred when the di or headphone outs were used. As a paranoid musician, I always have some kind of backup plan, but it is still a bummer in a live situation. I just want to ask any former or current owners of this head if you had any kind of problem with it. I don't really need those extra few perks of the 900 version for the extra money, but if somehow it's more reliable (i don't know if it's possible since the guts of the amp are the same) i'll go for that one. I can also imagine that a more recent firmware update solved these kind of problems. Any advice would help. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Buy the 900W version. They don't seem to have the same reliability issues. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbunney Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I had the alpha omega 500 and it developed a fault on its 3rd use. One of the lights went out in the EQ sliders so I sent it back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
