Wow man your comparison video is of superb quality, and so is your music!! A very succinct review and comparison of the two products! Can't wait more to see more of your videos!!!
Leo I love your guitar playing and the way the comparison video is structured. I already have a GE200 and now thinking about getting a HX Stomp because of the smaller footprint. Your video helped a lot.
Listening to this video with AirPods, the Mooer sounds are more pleasing...to my ears anyway. I am looking for an ampless live setup and your videos have been very helpful.
The Line6 Helix line (which includes HX Stomp and Stomp XL) has greatly improved amp tone ever since firmware update 3.50. I recently bought a Stomp XL partly because of this update. I intend to use the IR feature with an Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul, which has piezo pickups under each saddle.
Hi, thank you for sharing! Yes, fw 3.5 is a big step forward... I love the new mic simulation with the possibility to choose the position of the mic across the cab. Thank you!
Great demo! Awesome guitar playing. Hard to pick between the two but seems the 250 would be easier to use as a single unit. The ability for IR is sweet, too. Thanks for another great video Leo! Rock on.
I like that you give your opinion at the end. Personally, I still like amps better than these types of contraptions. These are more convenient, but that's it.
I couldnt wait to share your channell with an aussie fellow leon todd about your wrk he is great love his channell just a good old rockin aussie who respects everyone leo :)
Hi Tim, I love Leon channel, he is a great guitarist! Thank you once more for your interest in my channel, your comments and for sharing my channel with others !!!
Thank you Leo for a non biased and very informative video. I think I know which one to buy now. I am leaning more towards HX stomp because of stereo In, stereo fx loop, better sampling rate and more usb in-out. Also I want to be able to add two or three more external pedals and an expression pedal as well an build a small pedal board with them. Once again, thank you very very much. Also, all the guitar in this video was amazing. Very nice playing! Rock on! 🎸
@@LeoGibsonGtr Your videos are very useful. I’m 50 years old and I’m trying to record an album. I play blues-rock and funk music from the '70s (Hendrix, ACDC with Bon Scott, T REX, Parliament Funkadelic, Stones, etc). Sometimes I also play 80s rock with chorus.I can’t record well with my amp. So I’m looking for solutions with multi-effects and amp simulators. I still hesitate between the Helix HX stomp, the ampero hotone and the MOOER GE300. Your videos help me a lot.Thank you
Not a single word about tone capture?! If this feature is working well, it could be the main attraction. In some moments I felt GE 250 sound better, in others Stomp was better. From other reviews of GE300 and GE250 (including yours) I think these pedalboards have a better dynamic than any other brought in comparison. My impression was that I can hear every pick's attack. On the other hand I felt Mooer has always too many harmonics, probably due the synthesis, but I think a cutoff from 4KHz and above could solve this, and as a result the sound would be more natural.
Hi, in my opinion the best feature of the GE 250 is the profiling procedure available with the Mooer GE Labs app, that comes out after this video was done. I've done few video about it, that you can check out here: th-cam.com/video/z76P-AZWq4o/w-d-xo.html ore here: th-cam.com/video/GSA9BSXaWng/w-d-xo.html
Hello again Leo ! Great video and great playing as well as usual ! As i mentioned in the comments of your previous video, i am considering the new POD Go and the GE 300. This video was really helpful since the POD Go should sound exactly the same as HX stomp and Helix given that you use the same amps/effects and same settings and the GE 250 should sound the same as the GE 300. Hopefully the differences of these units will clear further when they release the manual of the POD Go and the pedal itself. The GE250 and HX Stomp sounded quite different, both good though.
2 amps, 2 cabs, and maybe a reverb and you can have two people play on one hx stomp which I think is really cool. It is a basic sound but, with dual mono inputs on the fx loop, you can technically both have your own pedal board hooked up to your independent chain, making the hx the modeler for both peoples amps but then each person can use their pedal board to add effects in. Good handy fly rig for a dual guitar situation
The price of HX Stomp just does not cut for it. It says it has one of the two CPUs of Helix Floor/LT processors but it is only limited to 6 blocks which is a big shame. Helix LT can support up to 32 blocks if there is enough DSP power. Therefore, HX Stomp should support up to 16 blocks. It seems HX Stomp will support up to 8 blocks with a new update. Really, I am so excited (irony). Line 6 is ridiculous now. Also Boss GT1000 Core is much better than this rusty tin.
Wow! Killer song writing here, Leo. I’ve grown to really like your review layout and the highly detailed information you present to us. It really helps me make informed decisions. Subbed! Is there any feel differences when playing between them?
Thank you, really appreciated...your appreciation in my music really means a lot to me... and thank you also for subscribing to my channel! Well, I don't feel noticeable differences in the playability and feeling: I think that these unit are on pair as regards how they feels under your fingers.
I see more effort in your comparisons than in many others... you deserve way more views, given there's sooo many guitarists ^^ As for my conclusion due to personal preferences and circumstances: - I cannot forgo the practicality of the GE250 vs the Helix Stomp, while the Go Pod would be heavier, bigger and yet have less processing power. I'll have to finnagle any issues with the SQ5's nearly unlimited routing and my only other pedal, the H9 could help out with stereo stuff...

@@LeoGibsonGtr Also you have 3 options on one footswitch on the GE 250. For example you can switch on footswitch A an additional effect and by holding down the switch the tap function. That's awesome for using the GE 250 live.

Well...considering that if you want to use the HX live you should have to buy an expression pedal and you will have a foot switch less in any case, I won’t say they are exactly in the same price range. Very nice video anyway (as usual).
Excellent comparison video again! I think the sounds of the two units are not so different than the GE250 vs Headrush Gigboard. Yet I prefer the Mooer a bit more. Although I agree that for recording quality the HX is better. Unfortunately, I have very bad experience on my MacBook Pro using Line6 software, recently I had to abandon my UX2 device because it doesn't work on my system since an OS upgrade. So my trust in Line6 has significantly degraded. Thank you for the great work on this video!
Is that line 6 fault or a result of an update that Apple made that did something weird to the functionality of the software line 6 put out? I guess like why be more mad at line 6 than say Microsoft?
@@JosePineda-jn8jk If there's an operating system update that effects applications, the vendor of the application should follow that and fix their software. At least if they are professional and want to keep the customer. I used the software version that is (according to Line6 webpage) built for my OS X version and it didn't even able to update the driver... I tried some other audio interfaces as well and they worked fine. So why should I keep blaming Apple?
wow -for small channel you are doing high-quality editing and sound - thanx for sharing this. Feels like the Helix sounds a bit more sparkly in the clean-settings. Distorted there isn't much of a difference imo.
(Gonna repost this as a standalone comment) I am a longtime owner of the GT-100 from 2.0 update and beyond and used it on several of my own recordings up until recently and I can say that it's definitely NOT a fair comparison with the newer multi-effects units on the market. First off is the I/O: not only is it just limited to in/out with no XLR, but the USB outputs are limited and in my case it seems it's susceptible to ground-loop noise whenever it's connected to a Desktop PC to the wall, regardless if you're recording that way or not. I also have this issue with my fender Mustang GT-100 amp but this was solved by going out of the XLR output of the amp and into the input of my IK Axe I/O. Therefore the Mooer's XLR is a prime feature for me to grab to reduce the possibility of noise issues in my bedroom of a studio since I do everything in box through Reaper DAW. Speaking of noise, the Mooer 250 inherits the intelligent gate from its 300 brother, of which Glenn Fricker from SMG demonstrates extremely well, as I have the same interference issues as well while recording high-gain stuff from either of my amp modelers. The Mustang GT-100's 2.0 update also gave it a G-String decimator effect which makes the Boss Unit's plain ol noise gate kind of look inadequate when you have the formerly mentioned items competing with it. Besides that, the only real gimmick features the Boss GT has is the custom amp feature (also going to mention that I have always used third-party IRs when recording so for both I never use the onboard stuff) and the very specific Boss effects like the terra echo and the weird accelerator thing. So at the end of the day I think Boss needs to reconsider their mid-ship modeler and drop its price, it's not really worth being 500 dollars anymore, and I bought mine brand new from sweetwater years ago.
Hi Hugo...nice suggestion...my only concern is that there is a pretty high price difference between the 2 units...so I'm not sure this comparison is gonna be fair..
Thanks for reply!! I'm searching for a handy amp modeling and multi effects pedal to use on easy gigs/live recoding....In the previous vid(GEvsHA), I would choose Ampero for the better sound to me and slightly lighter .... After this vid found that HX STOMP is much lighter! which is an important factor to me, but my concern is that if HX STOMP is good enough to do on easy gigs by its own? It is hard to decide if I could only choose one....and there is lack of 1vs1 comparison of their tone in clean channel on TH-cam. If HX STOMP's tone is good and it goes well on its own, I will go straight to it!!

Well done. Might get flamed for this but ….. GE-250 sounds better to me. Fuller and rounder. The Stomp has that digital top-end sizzle that screams 'modeler'. Harsh and brittle. Mooer may not have the 'sex-appeal' of the mainstream modelers, but the proof is in the listening - GE-250 for the win.
Hi, thank you very much, really appreciated! Actually for overdriven and distorted tone I slightly prefer the HX...obviously it's a personal opinion...thank you once more for your message and your interest in my channel!!!
Hi, really great reviews and the music to test is awesome. I'm kinda tired of all those metalhead oriented reviews. Is nice to find some kind of rock/prog vibe because it shows more of the variety of sounds inside the pedals. Maybe you can tell which you think have the best/natural sounding and more featured delays and reverbs -ambient or post rock...-? or the I better seek for other multieffects pedal for that matter? (maybe the ampero, Line 6 POD Go, Zoom or another...). Greetings from Perú. Keep on with the nice content!.
Hi Alvaro, first of all thank you so much, your appreciation in my videos and music really means a lot to me! As regards delays and reverbs / ambient music...well, it is pretty difficult to answer...the BOSS GT 1000 offers all the boss pedals that in my opinion are pretty nice and powerful, the line 6 Helix (POD GO included) also offers a lot of nice effects, last but not least, the Mooer GE 300 (and the GE 300 lite) is also packed with effects. Maybe you can check out some of my videos, about these units...I think that these are all great pedalboards! Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thank you very much for the support. If only I could buy the GT 1000 $ :') ... I think I'll go for the Headrush Gigboard -I watched it in your other videos :D-, for its easy access and tone. The ability to stomp the effects in four switches and tweak parameters on the touchscreen while playing (kinda shoegazing...)seems to be more similar to the real pedal experience. Not a huge fan of presets. Also, $450 in Perú, a pretty good deal!. Best regards! keep rockin'
Mi sa che abitiamo molto vicini :)!? Grazie ottima recensione ed analisi! Ho preso di mira il GE 250 per i suono più cristallino, ho un vecchio Line 6 Pro e quel suono un po "ovattato" rimane anche nel HX STOMP peccato. Grazie comunque.
Why do I need Focusrite Clarett if I could use HX Stomp? In my Garage Band Which is Better? HX stomp gives me as a guitar player more options but I also like to sing!
Grazie mille il migliore! Ti suggerisco se avrai modo di fare un confronto tra la ge300 e la ge250 per capire se è giustificata la differenza di prezzo e cosa realmente conviene acquistare soprattutto per suonare in giro. Grazie ancora e continua così

Wonderful intro, very nice! I still tend to the Mooer, but one of the sound samples was clearly better from the line 6 ( for me)..I would wonder where the Gt 100 would be in the ballpark to your most recenr series of little " great"" modellers? Is Gt 100 sound wise outdated with these? 👍🎶👌
Thank you so much!!! You mean the GT 1000? I don't have the GT 100, but I have the GT 1000 and it would compare to higher price unit...like the Helix LT...I'm thinking about a video comparison of these two units....
@@LeoGibsonGtr that will be great, I am convinced the Gt1000 is a perfect sounding platform with a multitude of features! As I knew that you have no Gt 100 or Gt 001 I was wondering where this Platform stands compared to the recently introduced and tested ones from you..its the Gt001 and 100 is pricewise in the same ballpark..but these Gt processors are around for a while..may be you know about whether the new ones do better in sound, feature wise the Mooer, Hotone and Line 6 are stunning..my opinion?
Hi, the Gt100 and gt001 are out in the market since a lot of time and in the last 2/3 years the amp modeling technology has really improved a lot. I don't have tested the 100 or the 001 but considering their age, I think that it's not so fair to compare them with such newer units that benefit from the tech improvements of the last years. On the other hand I think that the GT 1000 is a great unit that I still have, in the same price range of the Helix LT, so a direct comparison could be fair and pretty interesting...I will work on it... Thank you for your messages and suggestions!
@@LeoGibsonGtr thanks, that is what i thought...in the Gt 001 and 100 i found the clean sound is not up to date, some compression is going on.so need to upgrade in any direction..Gt 1000 or one category below..locking forward for your great reviews and i remain playing so long with best regards!

Fred Rock Technically the Mooer isn’t a beginner gear. It looks like if it’s a beginner’s pedal, but if you check it, is not quite a beginners thing considering the price.
For aure im not apposed to foreign language but man would be great if it was english lol just sayin.any way cool and wow just love you little channell i hope i can be with you to watch it grow .its very refreshing to listen to your style thank you .

Hi Guil, thank you!!! I'm really happy that you enjoyed my playing! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
mooer has one of the best amp simulations in the market, i have a boss gt1000 and mooer preamp x and the mooer wins by far in terms of sound

Can't wait to see Line 6 HX STOMP vs Hotone Ampero!!!!!
Hi Hugo...nice suggestion...my only concern is that there is a pretty high price difference between the 2 units...so I'm not sure this comparison is gonna be fair..
Thanks for reply!! I'm searching for a handy amp modeling and multi effects pedal to use on easy gigs/live recoding....In the previous vid(GEvsHA), I would choose Ampero for the better sound to me and slightly lighter .... After this vid found that HX STOMP is much lighter! which is an important factor to me, but my concern is that if HX STOMP is good enough to do on easy gigs by its own? It is hard to decide if I could only choose one....and there is lack of 1vs1 comparison of their tone in clean channel on TH-cam. If HX STOMP's tone is good and it goes well on its own, I will go straight to it!!
The price of HX Stomp just does not cut for it. It says it has one of the two CPUs of Helix Floor/LT processors but it is only limited to 6 blocks which is a big shame.
Helix LT can support up to 32 blocks if there is enough DSP power. Therefore, HX Stomp should support up to 16 blocks. It seems HX Stomp will support up to 8 blocks with a new update. Really, I am so excited (irony). Line 6 is ridiculous now. Also Boss GT1000 Core is much better than this rusty tin.
Well done. Might get flamed for this but ….. GE-250 sounds better to me. Fuller and rounder. The Stomp has that digital top-end sizzle that screams 'modeler'. Harsh and brittle. Mooer may not have the 'sex-appeal' of the mainstream modelers, but the proof is in the listening - GE-250 for the win.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion with us...I also think that the Mooer is underrated... the ge 250 is actually a pretty nice unit!
this video is just perfect!!!
Thank you, this is a great compliment that makes me happy!!!
the distorting Marshall was 2 different worlds. wonder if its the difference between a model and a tone print?
Hi, I'm playing the same Marshall model in the two units with the exact same settings. Thank you for your message!
The Mooer sounds much better. HX sound is harsh to my ears.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion with us!
I would like to see a comparison of HX Stomp vs Atomic Amplifire. Please jeje.
HI, thank you for your suggestion!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thank you. AA vs HX stomp or any other competitor of its range. Thank you for considering!
That digital fizz is present on every Line 6 product they've ever made. Very obvious here.
Hi Mark, thank you for sharing your opinion with us!
gotta EQWthe 6k out.i agree.
100% agree. Was just telling a buddy - "Sounds like a slightly reworked POD." Pass. The GE-250 on the other hand …….
@@DrProgNerd I agree the HX has still has that grating pod Marshall sound, now with added lows and more high end. Hard pass...
ur comparison videos are really great.n the intro music was superb...i wonder for playing metal which one having better tone.kindly suggest
Hi, thank you very much, really appreciated! Actually for overdriven and distorted tone I slightly prefer the HX...obviously it's a personal opinion...thank you once more for your message and your interest in my channel!!!
Great as always. Many grazie
Thank you Emmanuel...I always appreciate your comments !!!
Hi, really great reviews and the music to test is awesome. I'm kinda tired of all those metalhead oriented reviews. Is nice to find some kind of rock/prog vibe because it shows more of the variety of sounds inside the pedals. Maybe you can tell which you think have the best/natural sounding and more featured delays and reverbs -ambient or post rock...-? or the I better seek for other multieffects pedal for that matter? (maybe the ampero, Line 6 POD Go, Zoom or another...). Greetings from Perú. Keep on with the nice content!.
Hi Alvaro, first of all thank you so much, your appreciation in my videos and music really means a lot to me! As regards delays and reverbs / ambient music...well, it is pretty difficult to answer...the BOSS GT 1000 offers all the boss pedals that in my opinion are pretty nice and powerful, the line 6 Helix (POD GO included) also offers a lot of nice effects, last but not least, the Mooer GE 300 (and the GE 300 lite) is also packed with effects. Maybe you can check out some of my videos, about these units...I think that these are all great pedalboards! Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thank you very much for the support. If only I could buy the GT 1000 $ :') ... I think I'll go for the Headrush Gigboard -I watched it in your other videos :D-, for its easy access and tone. The ability to stomp the effects in four switches and tweak parameters on the touchscreen while playing (kinda shoegazing...)seems to be more similar to the real pedal experience. Not a huge fan of presets. Also, $450 in Perú, a pretty good deal!. Best regards! keep rockin'
Mi sa che abitiamo molto vicini :)!? Grazie ottima recensione ed analisi! Ho preso di mira il GE 250 per i suono più cristallino, ho un vecchio Line 6 Pro e quel suono un po "ovattato" rimane anche nel HX STOMP peccato. Grazie comunque.
Thank you, for sharing your opinion with us!
Grazie!
Hx stomp..no doubt it sounds good to me
Thank you for sharing your opinion with us!
Ma sbaglio o oltre ad essere italiano sei anche Veneto? :) Grandi complimenti per il tuo canale, utilissimo e super ben strutturato
Thank you Eric, really appreciated!!! If you want more info, please drop me an email :)
Why do I need Focusrite Clarett if I could use HX Stomp? In my Garage Band Which is Better? HX stomp gives me as a guitar player more options but I also like to sing!
Hi Mike, if you like to sing, I think you need the Clarett, in order to be able to record with a microphone.
Thank you for your message
nice job
Thank you, appreciated!!!
The distorted sounds of the Mooer sounded much better to me. Really killed the HX in NY opinion.
Hi, thank you for sharing your findings!
Grazie mille il migliore! Ti suggerisco se avrai modo di fare un confronto tra la ge300 e la ge250 per capire se è giustificata la differenza di prezzo e cosa realmente conviene acquistare soprattutto per suonare in giro. Grazie ancora e continua così
Thank you for your suggestion!
Both usable
Yes, I do agree...thank you for your comment!
nice video!!
Thank you Walter!
I think I would go with the ge250 because of the expression pedal and four foot switches but they're very close.

Hey Leo please do a ZOOM G 11 review with possible demos thanku so mch ....
Hi, I would like to review it when it's gonna be available. As far as I know it is not on sale yet. Thank you for your message and suggestion!!
Wonderful intro, very nice! I still tend to the Mooer, but one of the sound samples was clearly better from the line 6 ( for me)..I would wonder where the Gt 100 would be in the ballpark to your most recenr series of little " great"" modellers? Is Gt 100 sound wise outdated with these? 👍🎶👌
Thank you so much!!! You mean the GT 1000? I don't have the GT 100, but I have the GT 1000 and it would compare to higher price unit...like the Helix LT...I'm thinking about a video comparison of these two units....
@@LeoGibsonGtr that will be great, I am convinced the Gt1000 is a perfect sounding platform with a multitude of features! As I knew that you have no Gt 100 or Gt 001 I was wondering where this Platform stands
compared to the recently introduced and tested ones from you..its the Gt001 and 100 is pricewise in the same ballpark..but these Gt processors are around for a while..may be you know about whether the new ones do better in sound, feature wise the Mooer, Hotone and Line 6 are stunning..my opinion?
Hi, the Gt100 and gt001 are out in the market since a lot of time and in the last 2/3 years the amp modeling technology has really improved a lot. I don't have tested the 100 or the 001 but considering their age, I think that it's not so fair to compare them with such newer units that benefit from the tech improvements of the last years. On the other hand I think that the GT 1000 is a great unit that I still have, in the same price range of the Helix LT, so a direct comparison could be fair and pretty interesting...I will work on it...
Thank you for your messages and suggestions!
@@LeoGibsonGtr thanks, that is what i thought...in the Gt 001 and 100 i found the clean sound is not up to date, some compression is going on.so need to upgrade in any direction..Gt 1000 or one category below..locking forward for your great reviews and i remain playing so long with best regards!
Thank you, your support is really important for me!
Amazing playing. I love your channel! I hope you can compare the Ampero to the HX stomp side by side. Thanks!
Hi, thank you, your appreciation is really important for me!!!...thank you also for your suggestion!
It would be a great comparison!

Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!
Preferred the stomp. I have many pedals and an HX effects. The stomp is pro gear. The Mooer is beginner gear
Thank you for sharing your opinion in my channel!
Fred Rock
Technically the Mooer isn’t a beginner gear. It looks like if it’s a beginner’s pedal, but if you check it, is not quite a beginners thing considering the price.
Leo can you please tell me some of your favourite CD s you have to your left on the wall of your studio
Hi TIm...this is a great idea for a video...give me some time to do it!!!
For aure im not apposed to foreign language but man would be great if it was english lol just sayin.any way cool and wow just love you little channell i hope i can be with you to watch it grow .its very refreshing to listen to your style thank you .
Thank you Tim, your appreciation in my music really means a lot to me!!!
Hi Tim, I’ve done the video about my favourite cd, you can check it out here th-cam.com/video/7v3xV1DlRZg/w-d-xo.html. Thank you for your suggestion!
Which pedal do you prefer?
Hi, may I ask you what you mean? Which pedal in general or with of these two pedalboards? Thank you!

@@LeoGibsonGtr you're welcome!
@@LeoGibsonGtr yes, of these two pedalboards 🙌
Allo stato forse suona meglio la helix, tuttavia bisognerebbe vedere come suona la mooer dopo la profilazione dell'ampli.
Hi Roberto, good suggestion.
com a função tone capture mooer é mais versatil
Hi Raimundo...the tone capture is actually a great feature of the Mooer...
GE 250 HAS A BETTER AMP SOUND!
Hi Victor, thank you for sharing your opinion with us!

I'm not the only one the auto translate can't understand you either.
I'm sorry for that...but my English is what it is.
Thank you for your feedback
我认为HX STOMP显然更好听一些
and tried to tune the guitar
I have the mooer ge250 and I integrate it to my pedalboard instagram.com/p/COCwwAtAT9u/? it sounds just fantastic!
Very cool! Thank you for sharing!
HX is $200 more and sounds $100 less
Hi, thank you for sharing!
I don’t understand this video .
I'm really sorry for that...I will try to improve...
Both of them have pretty cheap sounds
