    Really appreciate your excellent review. I've had a Line6 POD HD500x like the one the great Steve Howe used in the last YES tour and it's a fabulous unit but I've been captivated by the idea of being able to sample all my analogue effects and all kinds of amps and carry them all around in the one unit which is something these units, the Kemper and Fractal options out there do. The biggest bane for most players out there is going to be wanting to play with something right now instead of having to wait for the expensive units(we all know the story, we save up for that ultimate unit at the time, the time comes and then there's something even better on the market by the time you get there and you don't want an obsolete product.) So units like the Zoom G11 and Line 6 Helix Lt provide a pathway that's easier to achieve and you can be playing with this great IR technology etc RIGHT NOW while you save for the ultimate down the track. When I heard these 2 units in this demo, I have to say while of course the original actual amp and FX pedal was unsurprisingly the ultimate, the Zoom and the Line6 both had decent modelling of the original. To my ears, I found the Zoom G11 actually sounded better. In terms of effects, well the Zoom had more and do you actually need 65 amps if you only ever really require to 10? So the 22 amps is probably going to be more than you'll ever need anyway. Considering I've seen the Zoom G11 for less than half the price of the Line 6, I'd argue you get way more bang for your buck than the Line6 HLT in this case. A new name in town is the Moore units which also may be a possibility at this price point. To be fair, I've always had a soft spot for Zoom as it was my first multi-effects units which my brother is still using to this day. I also loved there Z pedal which gave you the standard Wah up and down, but also incorporated different tone adjustments with the side to side feature as well. Very innovative. Also the mutli-fx 50 stompboxes are amazing, incorporating 150+ pedals in one pedal is superb and best of all even those who normally run away from multi-effects are finally finding them very easy to use, adjust and most of all enjoy. Zoom get's the dive in and play area of the guitar community but it's backed with great quality. For the money, unless your going to stick with a single manufacturer, the Zoom G11 looks like a winner here. My only problem, well Fractal FX are bringing units like the FM3 into town and best of all, finally getting the prices into a more competitive price point. Looks like you could obtain a Fractal FM3 for example for cheaper than a Line6 Helix lt here, so that will certainly stir the pot. Perhaps a comparison between these units or even simply an add on demo of the pieces you played but with a Fractal FM3 to allow further comparison would be nice and I'm sure greatly appreciated by the guitar community. Many thanks for sharing, I got a lot out of this video.

    Great video as always! Normally at the mid and upper range multi-effects there’s nothing has an onboard drum machine, nothing more than a basic looper, but the G11 has them both, which could be quite useful to some of us, like when we’re inspired by a tone, we come up with some cool riffs or licks, then we can just start record our ideas right away on the same device and not to having it plugged in to our interfaces or other pedals, on the other hand, sometimes we just come up with some cool stuff when playing with a drum track… so i think the G11 could be very creative as well.

    What I noticed with headphones is that the real jcm had more clarity/presence with a noticeable amount of hum. Sounded like I was n the room.
    The Helix had less of that clarity/presence and less hum. Didn’t feel in the room but standing outside the room door, if you will.
    The G11 was even less clarity/presence and less hum. Definitely felt like I was outside the room of where the amp was, if that makes sense.
    I’m sure in person is different than headphones.

    Both sound very good. The biggest thing I noticed is that the ZOOM sounded a bit more compressed and less "open" compared to the HELIX - which back to back made it sound a little bit more like an "effect" than the HELIX - the HELIX compared very, very well to the real amp IMO - BUT the ZOOM has a nice hands-on interface, drum machine and looper for practice/writing and the price is much more attractive. If you weren't hearing these back to back, you wouldn't know what you are missing with the ZOOM .

    This is a great comparison and is giving me a lot to think about Capability to load more than one amp and parallel effects in the LT is important to me, however, the balanced out of the G11 and touch screen may be equally important. I think I too would settle for a G300 and wait for the next newer updated versions of all the current units out there.

    Great video! Do you think the helix lt even though it was released some time ago would be a more advantageous purchase than buying the more up-to-date g11 zoom?
    Everyone says helix has the best effects... modulations... and better IR's even though it's older.
    So I'm in doubt between the Helix lt or the zoom g11 or the HX stomp xl... Could you give me an opinion please? It would help me a lot!

    • @LeoGibsonGtr
      @LeoGibsonGtr  3 роки тому +5

      Hi Daniel, it's pretty hard to give a definitive answer. It depends on your needs and your taste...Between the line 6 and the zoom I don't see a difference in terms of newer or older unit...the Quad Cortex is really a new unit, with modern features like the 7" touch screen, but among the zoom and the line 6 I don't see a technological gap. As regards IR, typically you are gonna use 3rd party IRs, so also here I don't see a specific difference. As regards effects, well it really depends on what you like...I'm more on the Boss or Fractal side as regards effects, as I'm much more used to their effects. Nevertheless I thing I would be happy even with the effects of the Zoom or the Line 6. Finally, if I had to choose, now I think I would get the Line 6 as I think they are holding their value better than the Zoom.

    These 2 units sound very close to capturing the Marshall sound. Price and size are the biggest factors for me. If I only had these 2 to choose from, Helix for home and recording use,. Zoom may be better for road use due to size and weight, but I don't know how durable it is. Axe FX is the leader of the pack, as you mentioned.

      all my opinions are in this video. I would care about the genre, as both are capable to reproduce it. I don't know how much a difference of 1000R$ is for you...but it seems a lot...therefore I would go with the cheaper option.

    Great comparo as usual, we are so unfair to you and always expect the best impartial stuff from you every time 🤣. Would request you to also include a section on quality of effects for such multifx units. That is a pretty important consideration as many of us use such devices in the amp fx loop. Verdict on the Quality of 5-6 prominent amp and cabinet sim will also add further value to such comparisons. Sometimes value is not just an algebraic sum of features but the quality of it too. There is huge difference in the verb, delay, mod, od effects between helix and zoom who are both pioneers in guitar effects in their own price points, hope I am making sense. Thanks again.

    • @LeoGibsonGtr
      @LeoGibsonGtr  3 роки тому +2

      Hi, thank you! Your suggestion totally make sense. I'm a little bit reluctant in doing such comparisons...with amp models we have the reference amp, that is the real amp...with effects it's much more difficult to find a reference...if not impossible...and typically we also have many different variances of the same effect in the same unit...for instance spring reverb, hall reverb, plate reverb...so the risk is to get lost or to give really biased opinions. I will think about it...thank you for your suggestion!

    The real deal has much more harmonic richness and "grind" than the models. The G11 sounded very similar if not identical to the Helix, especially in a mix. Both modelers have usable tones and sound good in a mix. The real deal still is the winner in this comparison. The demo song was fantastic as usual. I really enjoy your creativity and it's a pleasure to listen to you play. Looking forward to more of your videos God bless and rock on 😎🎸👍

    Hi ;)....On the Marshall amp comparison, Zoom sounds much better, the line 6 sounded really bad to me actually. Regarding the Zoom outputs, are you sure they are unbalanced outputs? They don t mention if it is balanced or unbalanced on their webpage, but just because they are not XLR outs doesn t mean they are unbalanced.....I find it hard to believe they did this unit with unbalanced outs...These would be really bad. Thanks for the demo Leo....Very nice:) I quite liked the zoom actually ;)

    • @LeoGibsonGtr

      Hi, as regards the G11 out, in the user manual there is written "Standard mono phone jack", therefore they are unbalanced. If they were balanced they should have been TRS jacks (which are stereo).

      Hi Albin, thank you, I'm happy that you like the video!
      350 is a good price, but I think that it depend on your needs. I would suggest to check out the comparison chart in the video to verify if there is any characteristic of the Helix that you need and that is missing in the Zoom. Furthermore, I would suggest you to verify if there is any specific amp that you like and that is not available in the zoom.

    I'm wondering why you would review these pedals together. The Line 6 is $1200. The Zoom is half that at $600. And to me it was indistinguishable from the Helix. I mean, do we actually need access to 60+ amps?

      Hi Kevin, the price fluctuate over the time. When it first came out, the price of the G11 was higher, and at the moment of this test it was 750 vs 900 of the Helix. Nevertheless, many of you requested this comparison and as you said there could be things that influence the price (like the number of amps modeled) that are not of interest for some of us.

    I think zoom doesn't sponsor your videos😂
    I have watched many of your videos and when it comes to comparing other modelers with zoom, you will give edge to the other modeler calling it to be of superior quality then the zoom.
    It often ends up "Even zoom has more then XXX, the quality of the XXX is better"
    And when the other Modeler has more simulators then all of a sudden the quality of the zoom wipes out.
