- Fun little demo I did comparing the two. I used the same exact amp and cab models. I also used the same guitar in same pick up position for best results. I am a strong believer in tone is in your hands, but this was just for fun. Watch in HD for best results.No post EQ or anything was use in cubase. The drums are Superior Drummer Metal! expansion. These riffs are from a song me and james from Cirka Sik are working on. Like and subscribe for more guitar related videos. Enjoy! Follow me on social media!

Watched the whole video, preferred the Line 6. The AxeFX always sounded muffled. The Pod sounded much clearer and the clean sound was much, much better. Thanks for the demo.
hey thanks for watching dude. Yea Line 6 seems to get alot of hate nowadays but I have always been a fan of there products. Have you tried or checked out the Line 6 Helix? I guess it's pretty awesome
I haven't tried one. Mostly because it's far beyond my budget. I do have an acquaintance who plays in a gigging band and he loves his. He's totally ditched everything except that Helix. I guess he goes straight into the house sound system at the casinos he plays in. I have pretty insensitive ears and I don't hear much difference between tube amps and my Pod XT, so I doubt seriously that I'd hear a considerable difference between my XT and the Helix. I'm happy with what I've got and if it ain't broke, right?
Jared Drake trust me dude I have the fist axe fx and the pod. The axe fx is literally a billion times better. This guy just didn't do a good job at showcasing it no offense
Axe fx sounded muddy because of user error. Axe fx, when used properly, sounds much betetr then pod xt live.
I dont hear $2000 worth of difference here...
yea haha...they just released the axe fx 3 so they should go down in price a little bit for the 2. I'm a fan both . Doesn't matter how you get good tone as long as you like it then who cares right. I would be perfectly happy using either one of these. Cheeers dude!
Rook D Im trying to decide which one to buy. Not sure if its worth spending the extra for the latest gen gear. Do you have any experience with the Headrush? Thats a pretty cool looking unit.
Really? There is totally night and day difference in the two. The amp models in the FX2 at least were warm like a real amp, but the Line 6 was cold and shrill. I played the XT for years and trust me, the tone is hot garbage. I have the Helix now, and to be honest all my tube gear and pedals collect dust including Helix because TH-U is just that damn great. Wish they would put it in a pedal.
Can You share files with sounds for POD?
Line6 for sure..i have used this in the past simply brilliant..just because the other is 2,000 doesn't mean its better..same with guitars i learned this a long time ago
yes could not agree with you more! Cheers dude
Hi mate.Great guitar riffing btw.I own a pod xt live and I really like the sounds I get.Very simplistic to program too which is what I like.
Hey thanks dude yea I love both honestly. Are you in a band or have any music I can check out? Thanks for checking it out dude!
Great video, man! I just bought a POD XT Live after watching this video and I love it to the core! My sound is def gonna improve live with this baby! I also have the Korg AX1500g and the Boss GT-6 that I have used for years but this Line6 is way better than both combined! Cheers from Panama!
Heyyyy thanks bro!! Line 6 gets alot of hate but I love them as well! Cheers bro are you in a band or have any music I can check out? Panama is a beautiful city would love to visit
The AxeFX had no mids. The PODXT had just as much punch but was much more clear. I think the POD would be heard in a band mix, not so sure about the AxeFX.
MY VALUE BUTTON IS BROKEN. HOW CAN I MOVE THE TUNER TO 4:40 AGAIN? THE MONKEY AND THE EDIT APP GOT NO OPTIONS
There like 8 different Recto modeling in the Axe-Fx vs 1 Treadplate in the POD
So I played your video a few times. 1st with my eyes closed. Then I watched your video to see what sound I liked first. To my surprise each and every time was the 2nd tone, the Line 6 XT Live. The Axe FX ll just sounded muffled or too much bass. Thanks for the video. I was planning on saving up for the Axe FX ll, since watching this video, I found a Line 6 POD XT Live on Facebook for $250.
I'm playing through the Line 6 Spider Jam amp right now. Sold my Line 6 POD HD 300 for it. I deeply regret selling that POD HD.
Thanks for watching dude! Yea Line 6 gets a lot of hate but they make some cool stuff. I love my Axe fx soooo much but I feel like I can get great tones out of my POD as well. Do you have any music or a band I can check out? Would love to hear some of your stuff cheers dude!
Rook D no I don't have a band. If do jam but along with audio of bands like AC/DC and Metallica and some Motley Crue. I'd like to expand into what your doing like lead stuff. I'm a Rhythm player and only been playing for a few years as a hobby. I've been a long haul truck driver for 21 years. I don't get much time to play until lately. I recently hung up my Class One keys and now working a day job from Monday to Friday. Leaving my weekends open for playing gu oh guitar.
I've hauled Western United States and Western Canada. My favorite places in the U.S.A is everywhere. But I have to say 6 years of hauling to San Francisco made me miss that place now that I don't long hall anymore
nice man that sounds like a really cool job. I love to travel. I have been cooking for awhile and thinking about starting a new kinda career or getting back into school haha
Pod is great if you take plenty of time to dial out scratchiness and mud and maybe even add a couple of your own pedals to it. You may need to turn down your gain, bass, treble, gain, presence, add tube screamer patches also with low gain, bass and treble, mess with your guitar knobs. The pod likes both pickups of my prs se engaged with the neck pickup rolled off a bit. Otherwise forget it. The pod tends to get muffled and scratchy if you turn settings up trying to melt faces. You can still melt faces with it, but you will most likely have a lot of settings turned down and you might want to add your own drive pedal as well depending on the exact flavor you want. I have been messin with a pod hd500x for a while and everyday I figure out more ways to dial it in even better with no extra drive pedals but I do have my own delay and a chase bliss spectre pedal in the loop which Make it sound even better. I might get a separate drive pedal later to add to it but since I don’t play djent and I play more bad Brains hard rock/punk style with a 6 string i’m Already good.
This proves that you don’t need outrageously expensive gear
Yes, definitely not getting the very cheap gear too. Just the one priced in the middle
It's all academic when comparing units.. Most units all excel at high
gain, burn sounds.. The difference with units like the Ax fx and the Kemper, are the low gain, in-between (blues stuff) . As well as, the Clean amp models. The lower priced units don't have that 3-D quality of a Vintage Fender Deluxe or a Twin.. They tend to be very sterile a lifeless.
However, if your style is Metal, the lower priced units will be just fine for you..
Nice dude yea I could not agree with you more. I have noticed alot of the higher gain stuff on both sound very similar and nothing beats playing clean sound out of a real amp and using some awesome delay/ reverb pedals. I'm a big fan of MXR pedals, the Reverb m300 is amazing played through a nice clean amp. Cheers dude
This is true I think but the gap is getting smaller. Also, it depends what youre using it for. In a live setting , the only one who will know the difference is you.
i'm really love to use pod xt live because it really could emulate the exact tone from the well known guitarists. thanks for parametric EQ which is built inside it.
Yes I Agree bro
Some aggressive compression is occurring with those drums. I use the XT and hate their TS effect. I just use a real one. Good comparison though. Toss some high pass filtering on that Axe!
awesome dude yea I have never tried a real tubescreamer in front of the pod I have one so I will try that out for sure sounds like great idea.
Bill Hesse
The POD XT Live certainly never fails, builts like a tank.. And till this day I'm still enjoying it.. From the video, Line6 sounds more "alive" to my ear.
One sounds just as good as the other. I own the line 6, great for studio and live for a fraction of the price.
i heard some ax fx 2 presets which were far away from this tone its all matter of what and how you tune and mix in the settings, i mean how you dial up settimgs, both for me sounded like shit sorry, but i heard better stuff out of an ax than here.
feel is in your hands, tone is in the speaker.
Great comparison reminding us expensive isn't always better regardless of which one seems to win...
Hey thanks dude. Yea for sure I love my axe fx but I can get a very similar tone with cheap plugins and line 6 stuff. I do really like all the features on the axe though its crazy what you can do. Cheers bro!
Can Line 6 emule effects like synthesizers?
Pedals like Boss Synthesizer for example
Some one help me pls :((
great video, bud! it boost my confidence about my pod xt live
Yes great Pedal Bro a Classic
I used to play some single pedals chain-wired long time ago... then i came to the first Line6 POD. Got Bass POD, too and now bought both XT's as for me there's no better effects pedals/boards at an affordable price.
The video is okay, but you focus too much on highgain sounds. Only little time was spent on a clean sound. What about the vast field of blues and crunch tones? Well, considering your playing style, you probably don't care about delicate crunch :-) And please give us more time next time to read your information. I always had to press PAUSE to read them.
I wonder how the POD XT LIVE would sound if you put something like the MOOER RADAR cab ir pedal with it.... download some great IR's and put them with it.... hmmmmm?
that's a great idea I need to check those MOOER Radar cab ir's out!
It sounds awesome with external IRs!
I have Torpedo CAB and I tried POD Farm with it.
Signal:
Guitar to AudioBox 22 IN // AudioBox 22 to PC (USB) // POD Farm 2.5 Standalone// AudioBox 22 OUT to Torpedo CAB with IR (no Power Amp, no EQ, nothing except the IR).
With Torpedo IRs or with other IRs (Ownhammer, Celestion or the IR that you love) improves the sound incredible.
Any amp sim (Amplitube, Guitar Rig, POD Farm, Revalver, etc) or pedalboard (Headrush, POD X3 Live, POD X3, Roland VG99, etc) professional or crappy, sounds great with external Impulses.
The big secrets to me is to have an excellent IR (IMO, I'm not a pro, I'm just a guy who plays at home).
Sorry for my english, I'm from Argentina. Best regards!
canadianshadowrider tried this in my daw. Sounds like shit. The pod amp Sims are designed with the cabs. Try it in pod farm, sounds like dick
Are you sure? I tried this many times and it sounds great. POD Farm Amp, no POD Farm Cabinet + External IR. That makes it sound a lot better.
Pato Loco it has decent tonal qualities but it just sounds fake. Line 6 has a very distinct digital tone. Make the move to an axe fx. I got my standard for 500 through someone on Facebook market
First , Great Video and hope to watch more.
I bought a variax 500 mint condition ,1 month ago and love it ..
also bought a pod xt live in order to add some patches. well first thing was to upgrade firmware according to line 6 Monkey.
I had the original version firmware in both .
got it to flash memory in both and all went well , i got the operation flash memory successful ok ..
Now i lost all my factory presets in both the pod xt live and variax 500 , the guitar sounds the same in all the selections . re flashed several time and same thing .. called Line 6 and tech guy says he never heard of that problem. Maybe this is the wrong platform to ask for help but i'm desperate,,
any body know where i can go for help? Help .
Damn dude wish I could help you but I'm not quite sure either? I would just keep googling maybe ask on a few line 6/ guitar forums? I'm sure you will figure it out soon don't give up cheers dude
Thanks for the reply.

Sick riff, that!
I have a pod x3 live and an axefx2 and have used both in band settings. the pod is an embarrassment. whereas the fractal unit would even convince other guitarists with high end tube amps. And thats just the amp sims. the effects on the fractal units are way above the old pod stuff. If you like line 6 then get the helix but id stay far away from the older pod stuff.
Could not agree with you more bro! Love my Axe FX II
I like the riffs more than the both( pod and fractal) thanks.
Haha thanks dude..What kind of rig do you usually play through? I love real amps just as much as digital stuff I have a 5150iii 50 watt and that thing is my lil baby haha
For me the pod held its own against the axe fx for this kind of music, just different not inferior , having said that I don’t know much about djent so what do I know,,,,,
Strangely enuff the fractal sounded better. But seriously nice demo and great playing!
Nice dude yea I love my Axe FX! Thank you for checking it out bro are you in a band or have any music I can check out? Cheers dude
Awesome video! Glad to see the Line 6 XT Live held its ground. I have one since 2007, which I bought in combo with a Variax 300. It's an amazing rig for live playing as you can program different tunings and make custom guitars with the Variax Workbench, all while having the pedal change the guitar preset to use with each patch. I was able to switch between an acoustic guitar with drop D tuning to a Les Paul with high gain amp in standard tuning by just changing the selected patch on the pedal on the same song...or you can have your computer change it for you via midi too. Very advanced for the time.
Reynaldo...any tips on dialing in the unit?
@@johnsavchak8202 Depends on what you are using it for. I’d say first make sure you select the right Output Mode (Studio Direct for plugging into an interface directly or some other mode depending on your amp). Try out different Output Modes to see what best fits with your amp. My choice had been using Stack Pwramp, but recently found that Combo Pwramp sounded better in my case, connecting into the FX Return of my amp, bypassing the preamp completely. Not sure if they tuned the Stack to a Tube PowerAmp setup and the combo poweramp to solid state, but I have a 100W solid state head and found it sounds way better in Combo mode. If you plan to use your preamp’s gain and use the Line 6 for effects only, then choose the output mode of Combo or Stack Front. After this step is done, then start shaping your sound one thing at a time, in the order that the unit scrolls it. It’ll start with the Amp, then noise gate/compressor, EQ pedal, etc. I find that shaping the Amp first and then the EQ will get you where you need. Unfortunately I cannot give you any pointers as to the values to use, as they will depend on what speakers you will be running. I had a preset for Studio Direct where I chose what cabs the system would emulate, but the emulation is turned off when you change the Output Mode to an amp (and no, running Studio Direct through and amp does not sound good). So, then I had a setup for my cab, an MG 4x12, but the bass response of those speakers is low, so the EQ I had set on the Studio Direct patch didn’t work. Now I got another cab which is 2x12 loaded with Vintage 30s, so I will setup different patches for that cab. You can stick with the same Amps, effects from patch set to patch set, but you will need to change the EQ to best suit the speakers they will be using.
the axe is vastly superior when you tweak it. Out of the box Axe (old version like this) is vastly inferior. I also wonder if the default settings on the axe amps were actually all centered, truly in the patch, or if they were just left at zero and the software was at whatever was the last used setting... cuz it was pretty bizarrely bad sounding compared to the axe fx I have used.
Regardless, I own line6 stuff, helix, m9, and my old trust xt live keeps on rocking... I have the metal expansion pack in it which is, imho, where the xt board shines... as you can hear in this demo, the mesa and modern high gain amps by line6 are outstanding just as they come. The axe can do AMAZING things, and has a better modelling system (simply due to being newer), ...
... ******** but never forget that LINE6 INVENTED GUITAR AMP MODELLING! They know what they are doing *********
Tuturial enespañol d línea 6 pop xt
I have had Pod XT, HD, Mooer, etc, etc also Axe Fx 1, and now Axe FxIII and no comparison, Axe Fx 3 is the best modeler around the world, is the first amp modeler that really sounds like a real amp really love it, is other kind of stuff
Nice dude I would have to agree I love love my Fractal more than anything..I'm jealous you got the axe fx 3 havent tried one or even seen one but damn they look so sick! What did you notice about the 3 that is way better than the 2 if you don't mind me asking?
@@rookd1137 mmm The axe fx 3 has a different way of programming due to more complex integrated circuits also the dedicated memory for amps, effects and cabinets, a fríend has AXEFX 2 and is a bomb, is great too, but Axe fx 3 is More easy to use, more pristine, more complex programming algoritms, etc, once I recorder something I gonna send you if you want some audios, my personal email : ren. lunarios@gmail.com
Why do you say that the POD is $200? Wasn't it something like $650 when it first came out?
Shit I dunno man I got mine used for $200. Im not hating on the line 6 I used it for years I love both
@@rookd1137 I just bought one for 80$, which would be a good price if the original RRP was 650 like I thought. Not so good if the RRP was 200! So yeah, used for 200$ a handful of years ago sounds about right. Thanks for clarifying.
yea dude $80 is a killer price! Do you have any music/band I can check out? Cheers bro
I seem to recall orig retail in $350 to $400 territory.
Line6 all the way. $200 vs $2000? No brainer..........
pod XT all day.
nothing left to say.its the pinacle of an all in one board.you can even take it on tour and it will out live your friendship with your band..lol.
You got some longass fingers dude! I cant stretch that far but I'm tuned different, sounds great!
Thanks dude I got some alien fingers haha..Do you have any music or bands I can check out cheers dude!
Not the best way to compare actually.
Both modellers can provide a decent tone, but what does this 1800$ difference mean - does it worth it?
In our band we use Pod X3 live and Pod HD500 and both of it also cheaper than Axe FX but still they tone you can get is very-very nice.
yes for sure dude totally agree. I have always been kind of a gear geek and will use whatever and believe you can get a great sound out of just about anything. I'm kind of a big believer in tone is in your hands lol but thats a different subject. I would say the only thing cooler about the axe than pod is the fractal has alot more features than pod but that is just the fun stuff. Cheers dude thank you very much for watching and the feedback
Do you use X3 dual tone blends a lot or 1 tone like xt?
The older pod could mop the fractal's ass on the floor if it could standalone use 3rd party impulses since line 6 pods impulses suck...i use the pod x3 with two notes torpedo or lecab on my pc and i could put it up against any modern modelers...anyways could you share you pod patches? Cheers
Yea I also wish you could load your own or other Impulses in the pod that would be an amazing feature. I sometimes use the Carthasis (i think thats what it's called) Preshigh cab impulses with Lecab great stuff.
hahaha you just want.... how can you say such a junk shit lol..
Check your strings U buy.china selling them .and the crincle and patterns are different and they break straight away
One sounds like it has more bass less mid but not bad
niiice thanks for checking it ou dude..when you gonna come jam bro lol
Yo what's up dude are you working with chris today I tried to find you on Facebook lol but he left his phone in our neighbors David jam spot
Rook D ill tell him when i see him thanks man
i like the pod better...(gets electrocuted by lighting sent from angry AXE-FX)....
Hahaha right. I love my Fractal but there are many other great ways to get good tones. I feel like the Fractal community is pretty narrow minded
Personally I compared two models and Under XT LIVE turned out to be king, and the fractal was only a prince. I have recorded the test. The fractal has more bass in the sound. Under Xt live has better dynamics.
Nice yea I like them both. Have you tried the new Line 6 Helix?
I compared. POD XT Live is better.
Just watched your "comparison" video and clearly you need to read the manual and go the the forum for help. You have something set wrong which is why your "dynamics" are off on the AX8, not Fractals fault thats user error. If you think your XT Live can hang with Fractal your sadly mistaken. Figure out how to set up a patch properly before you go and do a comparison video. I own an Axe FX II and also have had Kemper and Helix and even Helix blows away ALL the older line 6 units, and out of all of them I kept the Axe Fx,because its better lol. Why do you think so many Pros are using them and not Line 6?
nice dude yea I have not really played out of any of my old amps or pedals or want anything besides my axe fx 2. I seriously love everything about it, there is nothing about it I dont like. I heard Cliff and the fractal team are working on getting some Darkglass Bass patches in a new update. Whats Your favorite amps on the axe Roger Roy?
I just caught this video and lemme tell you...you just saved me a shit ton of money... and Geico wasn't even a consideration! I have the Pod Floor Live XT unit and from what little I have played with it I had considered getting a Hotone Ampero or a used Fractal...but damn... doesn't look like I need to. I'm going to pull the unit out and dial in a better sound. Thanks bro!
Yes bro! Line 6 was sooooo ahead of there time with the digital stuff. Thanks for checking it out bro
Rook D...any chance I can talk you out of those preset parameters...to help me narrow down my hunt for the tone with the Floor Live unit?
I don‘t know what exactly you did wrong but the Axe FX sounded worse than ever before that I heard it. If you listen to Rocco Pezzin‘s Plastic Mind Frequencies stuff you know what that unit is actually capable of!
haha thanks? I'm still trying to learn and get better at making videos. I must have picked some not very good impulses because I set the amp setting to about noon on all of them nothing crazy with no post plugins or EQing. I will check Rocco stuff out thanks cheers dude
axe fx models the amp controls pretty well including how the gain stacks...you wouldn't dial in a real recto with all the knobs at noon, the bass would be flubby and the gain would sound squashed and undefined. Dial it the way you would dial the real amp. That being said, I use pod farm and I think line 6 stuff can sound very good for high gain tones as well. In your test the line 6 sounds better, but having used both I know what the fractal is capable of.
at least pod is not worse than axe fx !
Typical US demo , why always sustained. Not really a demo.
