    Thanks for starting with the clean tone comparison first then progressing to crunch. This is how the comparison demos should be presented. I would like to hear every note and feel the music in a comparison video. It bugs me when some demos start with lots of talk, then followed by high distortion sound and fast playing - that buzz just masks everything related to the true tone. Very good job!!!

    I have had both units. I got the podhd500 mostly because i had seen sooo many rigs with that unit, and it was about 75.00 cheaper than the Boss. I loved the sound the punch the whole thing from a distance. When I purchased it I found what the difference between myself and a label backed guitarist. They can afford a guitar tech that can tweek out the sound. I honestly could barely get past the on switch. I took the unit back, sprung for the difference and brought the Boss home. Boss had a great tone, no surprise. It had great patches, again no surprise. It had EZ edit features and dual screens which made programming smooth. If you have owned POD you may have better luck than I. If you want bang for the buck and ease of use, make it BOSS

    It's like old saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" . I have the boss GT10, POD HD 500, and the GT100. All of them had the ability to produce all the effects from high gain, clean, crunch and warmer tones. It all depends on how you set up your amps and your kit. Thus by far the best comparison of the 2 powerhouse but none are better than each other. For versatility and user friendly, I'd choose the GT100.... Thanks for posting...

    After owning both line 6 and boss multi effect units I've come to this conclusion. Line 6 has better preamps by far but don't sound well with an amp. Great direct recording. Boss are way better to use with an amp you like and use the overdrive and distortion models to find your sound. Both are great products depending on what you are using them for.

      @veldringr 8 років тому +2

      Line6 and amps without fx-loop are a no go! Therefore you are correct. However when connected on an fx-loop they can do wonders. Therefore you need less money to create a very good tone, but if you want to reach something personal and more fulfilling you have to go for the Boss.

    I have been a user of "boss" products in the last 10 years, I used their processors with a JC 120 amp to get the optimal tone of all the stereo effects. I recently had problems with my processor and I bought a Line 6 HD500. The structure is fragile and it looks like a toy, hesitate one second on the store ) but......Now I know "boss" made me lose many hours of life looking for what does not have..True amps and pedals tones.
    Line 6 HD 500 is too much better than boss. Easy to understand, and the dirty tones are awesome.

    • @LemmyKoopaVGA
      @LemmyKoopaVGA 11 років тому +4

      How does it look like a toy? Looks almost identical to the BOSS product.
      By the way, great story. BOSS is a company that's pushing obsolete technology only because people trusted them for so long, so they think people will be willing to still shell out ridiculous amounts of money for products that would have been "mindblowing" 2 decades ago at best.
      They really need to stop with the COSM stuff and just overhaul their stuff. That's why Line 6 is on top of the game, because they knew they could do better with today's technology, so they overhauled their modeling technology.

    • @LemmyKoopaVGA
      @LemmyKoopaVGA 11 років тому

      duke gdl Ah, that's kinda lame, I thought they replaced it with metal when they went from the old PODs to the HD series.
      I'd still get a regular HD500 though because the new HD500 doesn't work with old Variax workbench.
      Either way, I'm sure it holds up well enough despite not being pure metal.
      I just can't really respect BOSS anymore. They discontinue all their good pedals and keep pushing crap pedals that sound awful. Their effects are good, but the distortions are pretty meh. I don't want to pay 100 bucks for 1 effect each either anyways or spend 500 on a bunch of mediocre sounds on their multi FX boards.

  • @ssdravidian
    @ssdravidian 9 років тому +19

    IMHO for my ear : -
    Boss GT - 100 - Good cleans / crunch and warmer high gains ( not tooo over the top)
    POD HD 500x - with the boost and the delay somehow the pod wins over the Boss....but there seems to be some kind of reverb based noise in the high gains for the pod.....and seems to me you enjoy playing on the POD more than the Boss........

    I think the HD500 sounded pretty killer in the clean demo, but the crunch and high gain parts sounded like the input was set incorrectly and was clipping. Turn your input gain down! That crackling is the input clipping, NOT the pedal!
    My HD500x will be here Tuesday. I will be making some comparison (HD500x vs Positive Grid BIAS Desktop) and demo videos when I get my 500x next week. I got the 500x to replace BIAS as the BIAS software itself didn't work for shit. I made a video on it already, check it out and stay tuned!

    me gusto mas el Boss GT 100 en la parte de efectos el booster y delay suena mucho mas puro y controlado, dando mas definicion al sonido clean, crunch y hi gain.
    POD HD500 tiene buen sonido pero creo que falto controlar mas el booster y delay para que sonara mejor.
    las dos pedaleras son muy buenas. cada una tiene lo suyo. es por eso que cada una se hace diferenciar teniendo su sello propio. yo creo es cosa de gusto.

  • @at0micBastard
    @at0micBastard 9 років тому +6

    Boss is very plesant to my ear but in the other hand Pod has studio quality like remastered sound ready to recording. Both sound pretty awsome for me.
    If I have to pick only one I will go with GT100 because of durable switches and easy interface which is essential on gigs, despite its amp modeling isn't so spectacular like on the PodHD.

    • @capsuleboy
      @capsuleboy 5 років тому

      Pod HD is a bit more expensive than GT100, and as you say, the podHD doesnt seem as solid as the Boss pedalboards. those pedals look like little plastics and very easy to break. Probably that was what kept me away from PodHD, but it is some sort of prejudice because I dont really know, I never had a line 6.

  • @decmccallion
    @decmccallion 7 років тому +1

    GT-!00 for me. Played both and through the FX Loop on an amp, no contest. And I know that this might not be possible for all but remember guys this is effectively a preamp, therefore the best tone results will be achieved(again where possible, for those with an amp with an FX Loop in the rear) via the three or four cable method. This way you're bypassing the Preamp stage in your amplifier and only utilizing the power amp section, simply put it's the cleanest Ac route for your guitar without jamming extra unwanted frequencies on top of one another.

  • @pfander63
    @pfander63 8 років тому +3

    Have tested both for 3 years and my decision definetly Line 6, sound is more realistic and the quality of the pedal is higher.

  • @lendavis255
    @lendavis255 11 років тому

    One important note when comparing these two pedals. The HD500X has about 6 seconds more of loop recording time, plus there is free software for the HD500X unit. Boss does not have any software so tweaks all have to be done directly on the pedal.

  • @judahbmusic
    @judahbmusic 6 років тому +27

    The saddest part about this Demo, is not just the badly tuned guitar, but the fact the person did NOT even properly set-up the GT100. For those who own one, you'd know the Output options will significantly change the spatial and eq settings of the Output sound. Thus, what sounds "digital" in one setting -PA, SEND/RETURN can sound organic through an Combo Amp, Stack, module. Also, the Pre Amp sections do wonders for your sound: they create a different sonic palette depending on WHICH amp module you use.... So, this Demo becomes unfair to not just the products demonstrated, but to also the potential buyer, who doesn't get to hear What They Can Actually do when set-up right....which is NOT a task.

  • @santomon07
    @santomon07 10 років тому +2

    Anyone who says the line 6 isn't good live is delirious....I managed a band that covered Pantera and Metallica...the guitarist was playing a dime bag darrel signature guitar and using one of the original little pods...going straight to the sound board and started leaving his marshals home...He couldn't believe how great it sounded...so my guess is that this new line 6 POD has to be even better plus you can tweak it while in your DAW then take it too your gig...not to mention the looper is a huge plus..glad to see the Boss has one as well...I see every body hating on the effects but yet I seldom see guitarists without their little stomp boxes on stage...this surely is much better than daisy chaining a bunch of 9V stomp boxes together and it has 100 of them!!!!Not to mention every out put and input known to man lol If you're worried about not using an amp...hook it to your favorite amp!

    Thanks for the HD patches. Never tried the GT-100 but never had to. The HD500 everything beyond what I need and have been using for 3 years. I love it's flexibility live, even direct through a PA if needed and it's a dream in the studio. Tones you can go back and forth on, but the hardware features, connection options on the HD500 far outweigh the GT-100. You have to look at the entire package as a whole. Rock solid and road worthy ( It has way more than 9 lives with my lack of finesse of hauling gear around!)

I am getting ready to use it this Saturday live I can't wait .i was ready to throw it out the window until I found the set up demos on u tube it took me about a good week to start figuring out how to use it now I am starting to tweek this GT 100 out the way I like it. It's just a matter of paying attention to the demos they teach you step by step how to set it up. apposed to reading the owner's manual. I chose the GT 100 it's just what I was looking for all these years of of my music journey. Patrick Romero Denver Colo thanks for the great video.

    Well in this example I would take the GT hands down. But it seemed to me that part of it may have been in the EQ of each. Plus I have read many comments that the HD shines when it comes to the amp sims which we did not hear. For premade GT patches I would go to Boss Tone Central & download some great ones there. I think if Line 6 made an all amp pedal I might go for it & save about 1500 / not buying an Axe FX or a Kemper.

    Metal --> HD500/HD500X
    Rock/Clean --> GT100
    Both can do a great job playing everything you throw at them, but the HD500 is a bit better for metal/distorted sounds. Another thing to note (and it kind of pisses me off about BOSS) is the fact that GT100 is still using COSM as a modeling engine, which is a bit outdated

    HD500 is noticeably clearer on everything. It is harder to navigate, but that's because it has so many options for sound tweaking. It took me some time, but after playing with it, I've dialed in a fantastic live sound. Learning to dial in a good recording sound is something I still struggle with.

  • @pegaaguitarra
    @pegaaguitarra 11 років тому +3

    Se eu fosse tocar ao vivo, o som da HD seria a minha escolha, porque parece que ela tem um som mais aberto, mais agressivo, é o tipo de som que vc precisa pra faze a guitarra aparece entre os instrumentos em uma performance ao vivo, mas em estudio eu escolheria a GT-100, pelo fato de ter um som mais "contido", como se o mic e o pré amp que a BOSS simula a "captação" do amp fossem mais refinados, pronto pra encaixar na mixagem, portanto ideal para gravação...
    mas essa é minha opinião neh... rsrs

  • @Guitars77OA6
    @Guitars77OA6 8 років тому +6

    The GT100 sounded more compressed and the audio wasn't clipping for it... The HD500 had audio that clipped because the input was too high for the mix, or the output was too high, and i'm not saying I could record better audio... the crap on my channel is proof of that... either way, I'd still choose the HD500 because it sounded more... organic? Great playing in the video, and I'm sure your recording is much better than here because it is 2016 after all and this video is 3 years old. :)

    • @LemmyKoopaVGA
      @LemmyKoopaVGA 10 років тому +10

      That's because BOSS rides on outdated technology because of how iconic they were back then. Back then they were innovative, now, they're just recycling old technology.
      Even Line 6 knows when to utilize new technology and techniques, it's why the POD HD replaced the POD XT and 2.0. Guitar modeling was improving drasticly both hardware and software these past few years.

    Some sounds are clipping on the hd. You should've turned the unit down a little more before recording. Thanx for the video though!

      I like the amp emulators in the HD more, but that boss isn't too shabby. It's just a bit on the synthetic side for me. I liked the video. Thanx again!

    Very nice comparison bRo ^^
    Im a great fan of the Gt100 (which is my main unit 4 years) but i must admit that the Pod HD is more realistic/detailed in High-Gain with more harmonic content ...sound really awesome... these R pretty cheap nowadays !!!

  • @kentbernard9842
    @kentbernard9842 8 років тому +4

    Try again now that you have more experience with the Boss. Your POD was set up better than the Boss because you had it longer and fine tuned your setting. You can get the warm and expanded tones and effects from the Boss. See pro demo from Alex Hutchings and Roland here on UA-cam for better examples of the Boss GT100, ME 80 and ME25.

    ladys, stop fighting. i have both of them.
    Boss-100 sounds better as you listen here, but better in a digital way.because it sounds more digital, great tone, better than HD 500 for Recording.
    HD 500 sounds more warm ,more organic .less digital. worst for Recording,but better for PA,monitors or 4 method cable sound. so you guys need to realise what sounds good for you. same bands want sound more clear,louder effects and that is digital.then go for GT.100. if you want the sound to sound more like a valve amp with less defenition and warmer sound, then the HD 500. boss more easy to use on itself, and HD 500 more easy to use with the interface on the PC, both great and they can do dual amps what i think sounds great having 2 different amps in one go. or use the volum pedal to change from one to other one. HD 500 have more meatl amps with pre amp or normal amp, and boss more effects, hd 500 have great reverbs dated all century, boss more of the new staff. boss have 5150 ,hd have soldanos. both they great, i use hd 500 for live and boss for recording. for an album i like to record with hd 500 and top up the lead with the boss. so its up to you guys.

      @LemmyKoopaVGA 10 років тому +3

      So basically, since the BOSS sounds more digital, we should all stop using real amplifiers?
      Your sentence makes more sense. If the Line6 sounds more realistic, then we should be using that.
      I think what you're trying to say is that the Line 6 can be muddy, and it can. The BOSS has more distinct mids that'll cut through a mix, but it sounds less realistic.
      EQ is your friend.

  • @Reaper93MV
    @Reaper93MV 10 років тому +5

    I have an old Boss gt8, and is freakin hard to find a natural sound... Too many time spent rolling the knobs and pushing buttons to try to get out something similar to a guitar tone... Too frizzy or too buzzy, and i'm tired! XD Just using always the same patch for everything... XD I think my next step will be a POD...

    • @getulioprates
      @getulioprates 6 років тому

      Tips on GT-8; Natural overdrive is amazing for rhythm, Blues Driver on top gain for solo with an eq enhancing the bass. Sounds great!!!! We don't need actually 1 billion effects but find those that fit the occasion. These presets are great in amps equipped with Celestion Speakers. In this case, I tested them in the Celestion g12T75.

  • @U2WB
    @U2WB 11 років тому +2

    I think the GT-100 sounds more like an amp; the HD500 sounds like a stomp box. Also there seems to be more compression and nasal quality to the POD than the Boss. Boss just overall sounds clearer to me. Having said that, I love your playing. Nice phrasing.

    Gt-100 super easy to get a great tone from, I fought with the hd500 for about 2years before I just gave up and sold it, there were just to many inconsistencies. I have since bought an 11 rack best purchase I've ever made.

      Wow, I've been checking out the Avid Eleven Rack and it looks/sounds insane. I gotta get one - no, I WILL get one! I have one question that might sound silly though. Can you hook up a wah pedal through this rack? That's the only thing I think may be missing...

    I've recently purchased the gt-100. I'm finding it to be very noisy and it colours the tone a bit. Dampens it, makes it a bit fizzy sounding. Think I might have to take it back and upgrade to the line 6. Thanks for the video. It's been very helpful.

      It didn't. I had to change my gain staging which has yielded a better tone overall. Quite happy now but I think this is still an area that could use improvement as I never had problems with my zoom g3x or digitech rp250.

    Gt100 has instant patch changing pod HD has a delay when changing patches. Any way to edit that???
