Hey Everyone! I've been looking at my sad old PODHD pro for a while now, thinking to myself, is this thing still worth using? For some reason I can't seem to let it go, but I also never use it anymore either! Let me know what you think, is it time to let it go?

Thank you guys so much for all the comments! There are a lot of great insights and opinions here! If you haven't already, please SUBSCRIBEZ 🤗
The amount of detail and the quality of the midrange of the AxeFX are astonishing, but I think the Pod sits incredibly well in the mix. They are both excellent units, and I like how the Pod, despite its age, is still capable of such good performance
The Axe FX sounds incredible, but the Line 6 still holds up well for what it is.
Cant deny that the Axe Fx sounds better, but not $3000 better. Im just a bedroom guitarist, Ill hold onto my Pod! Thanks for showing me how good it still is!
Just use the Two Notes Wall of Sound or two notes torpedo with your pod to change the cab irs I currently do this and it sounds better than any axe I played. That's the only thing holding back the pods are the stock Cab IRs.
Unpopular opinion, but I actually really didn't like the Axe Fx, the pod sounded way better to me. It sat in the mix way better, the Axe fx stood out in a bad way
Besides some EQ differences, I think both sound great! I'm looking into buying the POD HD PRO unit and this pretty much settles it for me.
I love how you made the POD sound!
You, sir, deserve WAY more subscribers - kudos to You for a quality production. I will enjoy watching Your channel grow. Cheers!
Haha, thank you so much! Honestly, that means a lot. 🙌
Thanks for shredding and sharing this with us man! So sickm
🙌🤘
They both sounded really good. We are so spoiled today. We have so much great sounding gear at every price point. When I started playing it cost a lot of money to buy a real amp and a bunch of pedals then hoped you got the ones you liked and could figure it out. You didn't just press a few buttons and change it; you spent a lot of money. We didn't have Google to show us what to do.
I've got a pod HD500, which is the floor version of the rack one. I use it on stage and I don't feel the need to upgrade my gear. For sure the Axe FX sounds better (newer technology of modeling, better converters and so on), but in my opinion the POD has still something to say nowdays. It's all about tweaking! If you spend the time to tweak and experiment, you can really create kickass sounds with it.
If you like it, why upgrade? I agree, podhd line can get plenty of great tones!
A great comparison. Congratulations on your courage and objectivity. I will be a frequent guest on this channel.
Awesome! Thank you!!
just need to boost the mids on the pod lmao
Facts use the global eq
Agreed, if it was bumped just a bit, it would have been very close in overall quality. The sounds without the backing track ("solo'd") are better suited to the comparison as well. That POD sounds pretty impressive though, damn, for the price??!?!?
I just bought the line 6 POD HD Pro X and I am in love with it!
Is it easy to connect to a computer? I have a interface I recently purchased, does the POD connect to the interface for recording?
I pretty sure it has an audio interface if not you can get one for $70 @@AVEMAREAMUSIC
Would love to see a video where you go through your entire DAW project with mixing, instruments etc.. etc..
I've had this request a few times.. I'll definitely do one in the future! Thanks for the suggestion!
Great video, once again !!! I'm a proud owner of a Line 6 POD HD Pro X. Yes, I like the unit and hope to get better tone matched with a Torpedo Live.
Thanks! Let me know how that goes!
Hey, i love it!!! So, i subscribed!!!
🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for this! I'm about to buy a pod HD pro, from my experience with the flextone 3 plus (or whatever) and the pod X3 pro, you can get some really killer sounds out of the older stuff! but in this case I really think the pod made a great rund for its money! I liked how it kinda beefed the tone up!
🙌
@@TaylorDanley How about a video utilising the extra tools of the pod to bring it closer to the external IR? I mean, it has like a slew of eq modules, parametric, studio, graphich etc and a very decent overall post eq (global in the output section). AND, something rarely used, the studio compressor model can be put after the chain to punch even more. The downside is prone to feedback if very loud obviously (the compressor doing its work...) but man the difference it makes in the mix is worth experiment it.
They are oh so close with the same IR obviously. What do you expect when you essentially apply a 2000 spot eq on both...1700 worth of difference? Not in the very slight. But live is the ultimate judge.
Nice riffage, keep on.
Just bought a pod hopefully when it comes I can get it to sound like this!
Dude I love your videos ❤️
Thanks! 🙌🤘🤘
just bought the line 6 pod hd pro x looking forward to play with my new toy!
Great vid sir !
🙌
They both sound really good in their respective elements honestly.
The pod tone has a good scooped type of metal sound while the axe fx has the mid boost quality to it.
It's really just preference from there. Both have good quality as long as you use a great IR and or really good cab 👍
That could be solved with a good eq....they aren't far off but yes, the AxeFX has way more mids. This is probably even solvable in the boxes themselves, but maybe hes just comparing raw patches of amps ? I dunno
The Axe FX has more chugging punch, but i bet the POD would sound good with a mid boost
Theres definitely a fullness missing. I'm sure if I added an EQ it would help. The EQ on the amp settings doesnt do much to the tone though suprisingly!
The POD needs better IRs otherwise it sounds great. Those amp models are spot on.
Great comparison !
🙌
As a Pod HD500x user, I can say there is a value mostly for the price. I got into it late because for years I was more than used to my pod X3 presets until it ultimately died; and I managed to get two of those as b stock from a store with 500€, around the same i recently paid for the HX Stomp I use for recordings, and having a spare is always good. As for sound it requires some tinkering; even compared to my past Line 6 experiences, I found myself spending more time and fx blocks on EQ with high gain models to get it to work the way I wanted it to. As for the IRs yes, Line 6 rarely gets them right but I managed to get better results doing some dual cab presets (thanks to a rather comprehensive guide I found online) rather than using an external IR loader. It might just be me but something doesn't work right with the pre Helix modelling they did and external IRs.
Besides the price, I feel it's a well built unit compared to past ones, the amp and fx selection isn't huge but covers pretty much anything with good results, preset switching is pretty fast and in a live setting it's hard to tell the difference with newer or more expensive modellers. So yeah, if it costs around 200/250€ it's a great option for a live workhorse unit that will get the job done and can be considered expendable in case of heavy damage or theft
Dude, awesome comment! Thanks so much for contributing your insight. I agree with you 100% And I think it's really cool that they can be had for that low price. I know a handful of guitar players (typically older guys) who are just now realizing what's happening with these units, and it's so cool that they can get into this world without having to put up a large investment. I think everyone wins!
I definitely think it's worth it. I do agree the IRs are the weak point, and the HD sounds a lot better with decent IRs recording or through a real cab. I just got a fairly decent deal on a PowerCab Plus and I am really looking forward to trying that out with it's built in cabs (hopefully improved from HD) and also it's IR loading capabilities. I already had the Pod HD500x but used prices on those are in the $200 - $250 range, used price on PowerCab Plus $500 - $600 range, that puts total price of that setup at $700 - $850. That is the price of just the foot controller for the Axe FX III.
I'm new to the guitar world.
I just purchased the POD, what is the IR that you are referring to? Thanks and great video!
The HDpro's are ONLY good as long as you are able to setup your own IR'rs just like you said. I had one and I hated it. At least Line 6 realized this and added external IR capability to the Helix models!
That's true. I mostly used it live through a real cab, which is what I think it's best suited for.
lol the pod actually sounds better cuz the axe is slightly louder and has way more mids so the pod sits better in the mix
nope
@@eduardodestri7058 yes it does. also i just bought the hd500x and i'm very very happy with the purchase ^_^
@@AaronBowley I had one all my life and loved it. But it’s not better than fractal sorry
@@eduardodestri7058 no one is saying it's better than the fractal, if you can read, i said it sounded better in the samples he was playing, if it were to be mixed with in with a track. pay attention
@@AaronBowley yeah “sounded better”, it says it’s better
Great video! I got a POD HD Pro X for 4CM. I have a Mooer Radar if needed. The 5150 model is terrible so I use my AMT P-1 but the Fireball is really close. When I get tired of the amp sims it will still have a place in my Rack as a effects unit w/ all the crazy stuff it can do that my TC Elect Gmaj and Intellifex LTD can't.
Tough Call. The switch is the only jarring part. After a few seconds my ear gets used to the tone shift and it sounds fine... until the switch. I think the Line6 lacks mids and the AXE FX has too much mids. But the difference is not as wide as the price difference.
That, and if you wanted to get that mic on cab sound that he is using with the Axe Fx, you can load an IR that sounds like it. I personally stay away from that sound.
Love this shoot out Taylor. It's super frustrating that the POD has such a great sound when you use an IR. I never even considered running it directly through my power amp into a cab. Maybe I'll give that a go. 🤔
Thanks! 🙌 Yeah, it's a great way to do it!
@@TaylorDanley Yep, checked it out and it sounds pretty decent. My main rig is the Helix Rack so I can't say it holds up, but it's definitely a backup option! btw, love your content man. Subscribed.
@@BeneathVultures awesome, thank you! Yeah I used it up until I got my axefx like a month and a half ago, worked great!
I still have my podhd but with a good IR and some tweaking it will sound good. Im looking forward to the nerual dsp quad cortex.
Me too, but man... I cant keep up with all these things lol! It looks verrrrrry cool though!
Which IR?
@@xxhardyxx I use ML sound labs IRs and recently bought and use Axe fx fm3. i also suggest ownhammer irs as well
I still use 1 live and i own helix rack and kemper .. Still love my pod HD
It's a cool unit! I have some awesome chains set up in conjunction with the floor controller.
I love the POD so much I actually use two rack ones. One for effects, one for preamp
To me the POD sounds better. Might be the EQ, but the AXE sounds very muddy and with no punch on chugging.
That's awesome. I'm glad the PODHD can still be appreciated!
Both sound great, I’d love to get tone from my axe fx 3
Thanks! 🙌
I used my pod HD pro with a Moore Radar, and I enjoyed it.
That's the way to go!
Would be curious of using the radar with the headrush frfr 1x12. It's only about $350 new. I have the hd500x and I have the mooer brown sound 3 and I dont know If i want to use a 2z12 cab or the frfr 1x12. Currently just using the fx return of a joyo zombie to power the pod or the mooer pedal
Thanks Taylor, what do you think about the use a POD with an IRs Loader? I think we dont have infomation about that how you can improved you old gear or like you can aprovech this old units prices and build a funtional gear. I have an idea, I like build something with a TC Electronic G System an IRs Loader and a good Preamp just in the buget. What are you thinks about?
Thanks for watching! I made a video about it a while back on my channel. It’s using the joyo cab box or loader
I found that the best tone I got out of my hd500x when I had one was to set the gain lower than what I usually use on a real amp, and throw a real life overdrive between the pod and the guitar. Also utilize the low pass filter.
Same. The gain is very fizzy and digital still on those units. Better than the xt/x3, but still..
i can't believe the thing i going to said, but i like more the sound of the pod i have a gee200 and i thinking about buy one of those pods
i've owned/gigged Helix/kemper/AxeFX/GT1000 but still love the sounds and flexibility of my old HD Pod Pro in my little recording rack. i jam on it all the time thru my reference monitors and still think it's delays sit better in a stereo mix than anything.
Came across this vid because I came across the floor mode of the line 6 for sale for $200. So looking at vids lol. Nice playing and I think I’m this vid I prefer the darker tone of the line 6 over the axe fx.
🙌
I think i could listen to those riffs all day
I killed like and subscribe button as well
may i ask u, how did you connect LINE 6 POD, just straight to PC thru USB or lines to the interface?
thanks
To the interface. I almost never use a modeler as an interface.
BAM! First one to smash that button today!
🙌
The pod hd pro sounds killer to my ears. But i like the morgan ac 20 on the axe 3
🙌 ac 20 is a killer amp!
would be nice, not to only play powerchords, but try some light overdriven sound to check the dynamic response of the units.
Yup
I have the pod HD pro X with no cabs active in the presets and I use a Mooer Radar in the output of the Pod HD Pro X ... problem solved and for the sound difference with AxeFX III or Helix, I will keep my 1000$+ price difference to buy something else thank you :) Yes the cab simulations from the POD HD Pro X can be lacking when compared to more expensive and "modern" modelers, but honestly, in the mix live, it doesn't make much of a difference. In the studio, that's another story, this is why I have integrated the Mooer Radar in the chain.
I'm looking at a Pod HD Pro myself and this helped a lot. At first I wanted an Axe Fx 3 but I can't justify the price of one. They're great modelers but they're still way to overpriced imo. Pod HD Pro is probably the most affordable solution for me.
They still work great. I'd recommend getting an IR loader with it though, the cabs are kinda booty.
The axe sounds a lot better to me, but the POD sounds fine. A great tune you came up with though.
Thanks! 🙌
I strongly believe that with a little understanding and commitment, this HD Pro can still be used creatively with external IRs. by the way, are there still any Line6XTPro users too? they are really cheap nowadays
Hi. I’ve just bought a HD POD Pro X today. Which Line 6 Monkey did you use to get this set up to run through logic?
Been using the pod hd pro for years. I run a Mooer radar ir pedal in the fx chain on the pod hd. Night and day difference in tone.
I'm buying a axe 3 next month still! I've outgrown the pod tones.lol
That's what I hear. Even in this demo, using a free IR was a large improvement!
Awesome! That's a big upgrade!! Love my Axe Fx 3 🙌
I have a POD HD Pro X rack, and it's honestly kick-ass. If you use external IR's, it's something you can EASILY get by with in the studio or gigging. Sure, the Fractal may have a SLIGHTLY better sound, but for the cost, not even close, the POD is WAAAAAAYYY better value.
Good God!! who would have thought the Line 6 Pod HD Pro Still Sounds BITCHIN' after all this years.... EBAY Here I Come........
thank you!
i'm also curious you're saying there's all these great modern amp modelers out there right now.. do you have any suggestions for others that are built like the pod and the axe, the majority of the ones i find are floor models and that doesn't really fit well with my studio . great video btw appreciate the content
Most of them are floor units, but it seems like the trend is to take up less floor (or desk) space to appeal to both the gigging and studio musicians. Currently I'm digging the ge250, I have a few reviews of it on my channel. It has a TON of features for the price
@@TaylorDanley thank you for the recommendation, the ampero is sounding pretty cool too, but yeah i really hope they continue making more compact units like the hd pro/ axe, or even smaller units like the old pod and behringer v amp etc. thanks for responding, watching your new MOOER video now :D
🙌
@@TaylorDanley update, i bought the 500x and i LOVE it!!! i made it fit sorta haha
Can't get over how good the older unit sounds. Getting a Pod HD Pro X used for Xmas because it sounds great. I started out on a Boss GT-3, GT-5, and GT-8. Sold the GT-8 many years ago. I really can't stand boss effects any more because they are extremely vanilla. This will hold me over until I decide if I want to buy a used axe fx II or one of the other rack mount effects units like the helix and whatever else there is.
My homie, The Bunn uses the HD Pro, and sounds killer. You should check out his channel, and his band Foreigns!🤘
I'll do that! I have friends that use them live as well... I actually used one live up until last year LOL. They get the job done for sure!
Honestly I just saw someone on fb selling the line 6 one for 400 should I take it? The only thing I noticed was that the axe had a lot more clarity to it
Hey dude. I've always wanted to try out a axe fx. Im pretty sure the skys the limit with those units. I do use a pod hd pro x in logic pro. Can I ask why you don't use the built in interface on the hd pro and run it through a interface to your daw. And what interface are you using. Thanks man.
It's for ease of use. I rest out a lot of effects units with that double as interfaces, and juggling the drivers for all of them is a pain. I use an Apollo Twin duo USB.
What is that music in the background? I love it!
Great video The pod does not suck the axe fx 3 just has much better mids high and lows. The algorithm for eq and saturation is newer so it has more detail wothout that digital hollowness that the older tech had. I bet if you tried to do a tone match inside the session they could both get super close.
I feel like you just did such a good job describing something I couldn't! It's almost like some of the information just isnt there with the older modelers, especially in the extreme low and extreme high end.
I wonder if I could get them close, I hadn't considered because I figured the tech was so far apart in terms of sonic reproduction. Thanks for the comment, as always! 🙌
@@TaylorDanley many thanks the explanation i gave is due to your examples being very high quality, we can actually hear those changes.
I have seen tone matches done using a voxengo plugin (can't remember what plugin) it can get some modelers close. I feel like the line 6 could get very close but not all the way since like you said the information just is not there. especially in the clipping section.
@@IntheDAW you're probably right, I'm sure you can get them close sonically. The real large difference is in the feel.
Both sounds great. Axe fx3 is a monster gear for sure. But i think the pod will sit perfectly in the mix especially in the live situation.
They sound pretty good live. I did play with a band that used one recently, and I thought the guitars sounded small and thin... HOWEVER that could have been the power amp, mix engineer, etc.
I have the Pod HD Pro and still have my AxeFx Ultra. Even the Ultra sounds great still. The Pod Pro shines when going through my Red Box 5 IR loader. For what i do i really don't need the Axe 3. If i had the money would i buy one? Of course.
sick riff @5:03 ooh 5:18 too nice bro.
🙌
POD HD, for it's price, would be amazing if it had IR. Imagine if the next gen of modelers will come and the current one, like Helix, that already has IR and no limitations will be really cheap used.
Hey so I'm a complete noob when it comes to the tech side of things, and I just bought the POD pro x. From my limited understanding, if I run my Revv G4 preamp pedal through the POD is that essentially like using an IR pedal? Or do you think I should return the POD and just save up for an AXE? Obviously I'd want the AXE over the POD, but if running my Revv through it will make up for the bad preset cabs I'll stick with it. Please help!!
Also, I plan on using it live through an actual cab so does that mean I wouldn't need to even use a cab present? I'm so lost.
So couple of things. The Revv pedal is a preamp, not and IR (cabinet simulation). If you are going to use with a real cabinet, and want the tone from the revv, and to use the pod for the other effects, run your rev pedal into the effects loop, that way you can control where it is in your signal chain through the UI on the pod. Hope that helps.
If you're looking for something that can load IRs take a look at the Mooer Radar.
great riffs, sounds very black dahlia-esque
Thanks 🙌
I like the pod more Thts weird right?? Lol 😂
How are you driving those? Poweramp? Clean Amp? Cab? FRFR PowerSpeaker?
Line 6 hands down. Makes the axefx sound like a toy.
What's the name of the song? It's so catchy that I just stopped paying attention to the differences and started whistling along :D
Having a hard time recording vocals, I have my Pod HD Pro Plugged in (I've recorded my guitars before) but can't seem to get logic to register my microphone. (I have the 48v turned on as well) any ideas/links?
It shouldn't recognize your mic separately. The only inputss you'll show in logic is podhd pro L and R. If you have those inputs, but your not getting signal, check your setting on the podhd... you have to change your input from guitar to mic. I dont remember exactly where the setting is, but it should be one of those buttons you have to hold to access global settings. Hope that helps!
on my blind test of this video the L6 sounded way better in the mix. much cleaner. but theyre damn close. I have the L6 as a back up to my EVH 5150iii with a 4cm midi for effects only, but an emergency backup. its a great unit thatll get you by in case something goes wrong.
I think it's fair to say that the thing that has come a long way in the last 5-7 years is cab modeling and custom IRs. I think all the physics being modeling in amp modeling has been pretty damn good for a long time.
Totally fair
as you can see i multiple videos a pod with external IR sound preddy good. The problem with this unit has always been the ir, i use, torpedo wall of sownd and damn, thats good. At the moment my main rig is a tow notes le lead with analog gear, but sometimes is fun to mess around and see what you can get
There's one nearby for $200cad that im tempted to grab just to throw in my studio rack, thanks gor demonstration.
The best sounding feature of the pod is its re-amp feature ;)
Well it's not really a feature is it ...
Kinda torn. The AFX3 captures the full spectrum of tone, which makes it flexible. The HD however is already the tone that my own ears are inclined towards shaping the tone by dipping mids. But my beef with the HD had always been that it lacks the depth of parameter controller assignment that even the POD X3 had. So the HD for me always lost to the X3 Live in terms of overall usability despite having better sounds. The AFX2 in that regard was also still better than the HD.
Saludos. Disculpen.. Y otra cosa debió de probar con otros efectos no solo distorsión. En Clean y ver que otros efectos.
After giving this a good listen, the axeFx seem to have better punch and better mids, but the POD sounds pretty close. Can you use custom IRs with the POD?
Nope
Interesting. The Pod still sounded good, it didn't sound bad.
In the mix Axe fx III seems a bit better I mean more precise but ...HD PRO still kicking..Im sure that while playing AxE FX iii WILL MUCH BETTER...thank you Taylor...and cheers
🙌
I feel the axe fx has something going on that gives the amp model space. I like it more , but just barely. I have a pod hd500x floor , but it works for me. I do need to get an ir pedal any recommendations? Was looking at the joyo cab box as it has midi. Throw it in the fx loop after the amp and boom! Thoughts?
Yes, it definitely sounds fuller. its super noticable in the solo'd section.
I haven't tried it myself, but I've had people tell me that they've had great results using a mooer radar with the podhd line. I was always going into a real cabinet, so I never really used the stock IRs
Check out the Mooer Radar. It has many IRs and you can load in your own Impulses
Mooer radar man, just amazing piece of gear
I have an HD500X floorboard model, and I really like it, but my issue is that I really would rather play than spend hours creating the patches that really sing. I've done a few and they turned out really great, but it's time consuming and not really what I want to be doing. I'm still looking for that AxeFX singing lead sound.
I wish they had made a rack version of the 500X, as I'm not playing live and rarely dance on the switches.
The POD HD Pro X is the HD500x in a rack just different name.
You're using the integrated Audio Interface or you're using another dedicated Hardware to record the AXE FX and Line 6?
I'm interested in this as well
I use an apollo twin USB duo. I almost never use integrated USB with effects processors, because I dont want to have to juggle all the drivers around. It's pure convenience more than anything.
If I look away and just listen, I can't hear any difference between the two. Probably either one would work for the end result.
На pod hd меньше нижней середины, это решается отстройкой. Если учитывать разницу в цене, pod hd+ ламповый преамп достойная конкуренция аксу.
Line 6 Para costar mucho menos dinero. Pues siento que la diferencia es poca en sonido. Si obviamente el Fractal es Brutal pero comparado con factor precio Line 6 lo hace muy bien. Aunque siento que realmente no debio de hacer este video. Debe colocar productos similar costos y gama. Fractal se lo lleva por mucho a Line 6 aunque insisto Line 6 digamos es una alternativa muy buena para nosotros los guitarristas de Latino America que algunas veces no contamos con el recurso de comprar un Fractal.
la diferencia de audio no es mucha, pero ademas de que tenes que perillear para acercarte, la verdadera diferencia esta en la emulacion de la valvula, la dinamica y como responde. en el pod esta como mas esteril, por la vieja tecnologia que trae. por ahi tendria q haber comparado con digitales actuales del mismo precio, como la hotone ampero, mooer ge200, etc.
mostly i hear no difference between digital processing of those signals, maybe axe sounds bit better. But price...
Dont say it to loud, they'll hear you!
It's mainly the IR that makes the difference. Not worth the money if all im getting is better cabs
Considering how much older the POD HD Pro is compared to the Axe Fx III it doesn’t sound too bad lol
Not at all
when solo'd with no post, are those single or double tracks ?^^
stereo, one per side.
Nice effort man, they are synched up very nicely!
That riff was worth it!
Amp models do sound good in the HDs but the Fractal FX and routing, tweakabilitty blow the HDs away
I prefer by far the Axe fx, the thing has more mids and more clarity, I think it is way better than the POD HD. On a side note I absolutely LOVED the riff on 5:18, specially in the axe fx version. Killer! Congrats!
Thank you so much! 🙌 I know, the more I compare, the more I appreciate my axefx 3! It is just really something else. I think the PODHD is still really cool though, and hopefully some people out there will use it and love their tones!
The opposite oppinion would be that the axe-fx is muddy as fuck. And it is lol.
However you can say that the pod lacks in mids in opposition. And it does. here,...both can be adjusted.
Where the real catch is that they actually have the same clippinh character through the same IR and pretty much the same signal level.
I have to say here that the pod hd is somewhat lower in volume than the axe-fx 3 .wav.
The axe-fx III is cool...where it rubs me on the wrong way is how much of an asshole its creator is,...with so many great solutions nowadays you can actually get similar to identical results and NOT give your money where you think they don't count.
It's something that shouldn't bother me but it does and in the end of the day makes me focus on the negative aspects of the axe-fx III clips...as I tried to show you can go vice versa in both ways to insult a sound lol.
By the way, I followed the a/b again without looking while typing and they actually seem like 98% the same stuff lol...
Oh, best live sound of any band I've seen were annihilator with helix who would've knew.
Worst (for the DI crew) were machine head with axe-fx but they weren't bad...
Consider, though, that you can buy four Pods for the price of one FX 3.
Do you have these patches for download?
To my ear's the pod sound's way better than axe fx
I've listened to this video through two different speaker systems, isolation phones and ear buds. Pod wins every time. I'm buying the Pod.
Line 6’s biggest problem is ir’s, they just never get them 100% right. Other than that they sound really good so if you run it through an ir loader you’re in the money
I had the pod pro HD, I though it was great, then one day a friend left a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe in my house. So I thought I would check it out against the Pod Pro amp models of the Fender combos clean sounds. I tell, l ya next to the real thing there was a vast difference, so much so that I sold the Pod Pro and bought the Hot Rod Deluxe. Saturated metal tones are just noise that takes any natural valve amp punch out. You can't beat a real amp.
oh come on. you are comparing clean tones that nobody cares about in metal which is what the channel is geared towards here. and you are comparing wrong. you have to mic the hot rod deluxe and listen to the track along a pod recording. I bet I can make a similar or better track with the pod. I actually think the hot rod is a bad amp for a lot of uses but a good platform for a pedalboard. I have amps that can put it to shame on the clean channel honestly however.
frig...just when you think you get rid of commercials by getting CZcams Premium you get this at the start of the video...
