    IMO The Pod 2.0 sounded the best.I have 2 and still use them.

    You made more content for these than the total amount of pod content on youtube, you're amazing.

    To my ears the original had the "thickest" and more appealing distortion sound to me, the other two mainly sounded gritty and thin. The HD had the nicest and most detailed clean sound I thought. Great test!

    so basically all you need is a Pod 2.0 with a Mooer Radar for better cab sounds?

    The Pod 2.0 was the best to my ears. Still got mine and it's still used.

    hour long POD comparison, this is almost like an ASMR video for me

    HD sounded the most natural to me.

    I don't know man, are you sure you don't wanna just throw them all in a wood chipper and start fresh? Jk, I commend you for your endurance through this self-imposed trial and your dedication to posterity.

    I’ve got an X3, I’ve had it for about 4-5 months. It’s not a bad unit. Some of it sounds artificial, but all the L6 stuff has that at some point. The later Pods are tweakers units. The originals are more simplistic and easier to use. To me the X3 sounded the best out of the 3 but none hit it out of the park on all of the presets.

    Damn, even the fact you can talk about comparison’s between the firmware updates on these units alone makes me shudder to think how much time you’ve spent with these products.

    Great stuff! I started on the guitarport and have a UX1 now. Subbing!

    Thanks for this. I think it helps to hear these tones double tracked to know what it sounds like in a mix.

    This has been one of my favorite series on CZcams this far. I’ve had the 2.0 since it came out and I still love it. I think the other iterations would have been worth having at the time but given the products available now, I can’t see a use for them where I can still see the use of the 2.0 given how easy it is to use and how cheap it is.

    Just recorded with my PODXT Live yesterday. I forgot how good it sounds. And so easy to use and tweak once you have the editing software sync'd up. I wish Line 6 would come up with a new "desktop" model for us studio guys.

    Kudos, you really went all out here. Just want to say, never got the POD hate:
