Thanks for this review, I was literally days away from picking up a ODR1 to use as a bass overdrive, then I see a update for my stomp and I am pumped to hear it’s extremely close

[@wttone]

I honestly couldn’t tell the difference

[@guitarhero2022]

There’s no way anyone could honestly tell the difference of both were dialed in to sound the same. Especially if you’re playing with a band…

[@charleshale8504]

The "Prize Drive' lead me to the 30th anniversary ODR-1 which has become my go to mainstay bass drive. It sounds incredible

[@picksalot1]

Excellent comparison. It shows just how good the Line 6 Modeling can be. Really impressive. Thanks

[@Threedaysextension]

Wow! This sound so full. I can't wait to try it out

[@Hickeroar]

This has been my go-to pedal model since it came out. Love it!

[@fenderjose1]

Long time coming. Did my update, really close!

[@p5jja5]

Great comparison in between both drives and for my ears they sounded the same. I just added in one of my rocking tunes in my Helix LT

[@digbyranford6657]

The modelling stuff is getting so close now, I gig regularly and have been using a matchless chieftain however I have switched to a katana and it sound very close if not better at lower volumes. I’ll always love the real thing but man it’s so close now! Great vid

[@chefgaryklein7551]

Listened to this a few times and really could not hear a major difference. So the audience would not tell either. Still killing it Helix!

[@Onemanband410899]

Whoa. I had this video playing in the background while I was doing some work. 12:00-12:03 came along and I thought "DID JACK BLACK JUST HIJACK WORSHIP TUTORIALS?!?" That would have been an interesting crossover... Anyway, thanks for another great video Brain! I have zero experience with a real ODR-1, so this is much appreciated. I enjoy listening to you talk about gear.

[@brettbianchi6706]

Wow. This is SPOT on

[@wttone]

Yeah it’s pretty crazy

[@LuisM_Piozza]

It sounds amazing! 😍😍

[@jaykuchera5058]

Thanks for yet another great video! BTW, seems like modern tones call a clipped signal "clean". Modeling is great now with soft clip to overdrive but still doesn't seem to get sparkling clean tones with the same quality of tube amps (I'm a diehard Line 6 user since the original POD bean)

[@jackprice7828]

Probably the best drive model to date in the latest update. It paired really well with the AC30 model. It does take a bit more DSP, but worth it. Love it!

[@deepzepp4176]

I'm loving the HX ODR1 so far.

[@TVoltG]

Goes to show why to me, Line 6 Helix/HX system is still very viable today as it was when it first came out. I am just surprised as how they keep coming out with so much still today.

[@LaminarSound]

This review is kinda making the case for HX One. For analog guys, or guys playing mostly through analog boards into real amps, HX One might actually be a worthy pedal. The drive "pedals" in Helix are without a doubt, incredible.

[@bluzzjazz]

It sounds great and they're very close. When I heard your clean tone, I immediately thought good, but "that's not Fender clean tone"😉

[@BlackWolfTribe]

I have the real one on my board and they and I think they sound similar. Very nice

[@robbarker9878]

I just sold my odr1 a few days ago because I have a protein. That's awesome that HX has it now too

[@ksharpe10]

Brian you know what else Line 6 helix gave us, the Bassman dripedge and it's JBL d130 15 INCH SPEAKERS Cabinet, somehow Pair it up with the 64 Pro Fender amp. and see how it sounds.

[@BobbyCulpepper.srv3fender]

its not a tubescreamer, the tubescreamer is a soft clipping and the nobels is a hard clipping, it also uses a jfet which makes it more amp like . Also odr came out in the 90's not 80's

[@smartinmart]

I came to the comments to say the two things you’ve said! 😂Thank you!!

[@bruceoleary3764]

good points! I feel like this pedal does its best work in front of a much cleaner amp…

[@playjamtracks]

@@bruceoleary3764 Agreed, also the ODR1 should be in front of helix not in the loop, analogue drives dont sound right in the loop

[@mrbaiser4133]

The ODR-1 has soft clipping with diodes in the feedback loop. Followed by diodes to ground, that don't have much work to do.

[@BobbyCulpepper.srv3fender]

@@mrbaiser4133 its hard clipping, ask robert keeley

[@davidjoel111]

I just removed my Belle from my pedalboard. I'm so sad because I love this pedal! But the line 6 just sounds so good! It even reacts to my volume pot the same way the original pedal does!

[@vincentdenali256]

Line 6 continues to add value to the Helix. I’ve been waiting for the ODR-1 for a long time. I’m very excited about this update. Now if they could add the Mostortion it would be perfect. Thanks Line 6. 🤘

[@cjga2010]

Can't tell the difference, nailed it

[@HerroYuy246]

Insane

[@Ozman77]

Just one question, did you get that 6 string at the 5 & dime?

[@mtguitar5150]

Im constantly thinking is it worth using the stomps loop just to take advantage of the drives

[@kylecravens6501]

Awesome to now! Would this be included in the POD GO firmware update(s), as well?

[@erikhartley2494]

Line 6 definitely cuts out some very low end but the gain structure sounds identical.

[@robbarker9878]

Wait doesn't this pedal in current iteration have a big warning on the box that says ONLY USE 9v!! Or am I remembering another pedal? Wouldn't want someone to try 18 and fry it...

[@guitarhero2022]

I dare anyone to tell the difference… especially when playing with a band.

[@ramon2008]

Impossible

[@cacacoco2]

which output should I set to go direct to FOH? headphone, output , send ( I own a hx XL) thanks

[@wttone]

I always use the main XLR or 1/4” outs

[@Joe-vc2cc]

I will be recreating the browne protein in my stomp 😂

[@rocknrollboise]

The Nobels circuit doesn't sound or look anything like a TS, so I'm not sure where you got that... It's an overdrive, so yeah it has a bit of a mid push but nothing like a TS and the original (without bass cut) was the first "transparent" drive of it's kind, again NOTHING like a Tube Screamer.

[@mrbaiser4133]

Pedal straight into a real amp vs Line6 straight into a real amp. That's the only way to compare just the overdrives. In your comparison, the sound of the analog pedals goes through TWO A/D-D/A. conversions

[@bikeman1x11]

sound close enough

[@michaelsanmann1660]

TSish???? Mid Pushed Sound? 80`s? LOL - it seems you have no idea about the Nobels ODR-1. Introduced 1993 and as an opposite of a Tube Screamer - without a MID hump.....sorry to say.....

[@kristopherk5454]

I wanted to disagree with this, but did some research and found it is true.

[@balvenie55]

Not what i would call a clean tone.

[@wttone]

Ok, ‘base’ tone then 😅

[@Onemanband410899]

Hence the "quotes" they put around it. Haha.

[@Eric-nn9xf]

Nobels is fatter. It's clearly heard. Line 6 version thins out 10%

[@NeoFromMatrixReality]

no it's not, sounds the same

[@kristopherk5454]

Original sounds better at lower gain settings.

[@larryblankenship8202]

I have to agree with @Eric-nn9xf

[@jordanlatham3704]

Unpopular opinion, I’m not a fan of this pedal and I wish I was 😭
