wow the HX stomp is like 640x480 and the GT is 4k in terms of sound resolution, what a huge disparity. Thank you for this head to head

[@JDStone20]

Yeah, the Boss is amazing, sounds way better!

[@laptoples]

Yeah I have the Boss Core and it's got a ton of great sounds and you can get lost in the settings and pretty much make anything you want. Everything is rich and you can set dynamics. I don't have the Stomp, but I'm glad I got the Boss. I'm a pretty big Roland fan though, so....lol

[@michaelallard2640]

I gotta give it to you on what I consider is a perfect demonstration. No talking, no endless noodling, and great sound quality. Really, really great job !

[@jeshely]

Thanks for this great comparison. The models sound very good on both but I think the modulations, delays and reverbs were so much nicer in the GT Core.

[@adoremotion]

GT is more focused , less clouded and fluffy rambling. I own both. The “analog” part people speak of is eq, more bottom from Stomp. Use an eq. Also the GT 32bit for fixing digital peaks is excellent. GT is a very capable amp sim and I get a sound I like and is “unique” faster than the preset amps from line6 where I’m battling against boxy sounding and a wobbling low end that doesn’t fit in the mix. I rather have a focused sound. I know how the roland works, had a vg99 and gt001. Once I understood what and how it does it worked out better. Choosing different cabs (not IR) than the “modeled” worked better in a mixing workflow. I must say that many GT demo’s are pretty terrible but this is a good one. If you can afford both get them, all the tools you need. I have had a podxt and 3 also. From my experience I grabbed for the roland stuff more often.

[@stefanemanuelsson2201]

Thanks for this informed and balanced comment (y) Just the info i was looking for

[@reneliebregt6319]

Thanks very much UFO this info was very usefull for me. I returned a PodGo because I didn't like the amp sims. The PodGo had some good effects though. I bought a NUX mg-300 which I am satisfied with but there are not that many effects and I also have now 2 bass guitars, so I am looking for a ekstra modeller/multieffect device more that can handle both guiar and bass. I think the Boss GT-1000Core would be a good choice. ( Always looking for something new to buy 😀 )

[@raichoo]

Can confirm. Getting a "unique" sound is pretty straightforward with the GT-1000. The amp models extremely flexible, I've had modelers where a lot of amp models where boxed into a single sweet spot and everything else sounded awful. This is not the case with the BOSS however. They really upped their game, I had the GT-3 around 20 years ago and *gosh* I hated the preamp models in that thing. This however is about as much fun as my Axe FX.

[@TheDilligan]

I agree their demos are bad. My biggest beef as a GT1000 user is knowing that Boss is generally not good at customer support. I'm afraid they are just going abandon support for the unit. After it released they did an update every few months and now there has been nothing for a year and a half. And they still have the "Output Select Library" up on the website even though they abandoned the idea. But AIRD cabs are incredible. Better than any IR out there. And the output select alone makes it better than any of the competition.

[@drmarianogarau]

I would use it with an engl tube preamp which I love, and for effects and cab simulations...which one would you go with? Whitch one is more transparent and respectful of dynamic? I Heard that Hx stomp it's a kind of tone sucker... What about the boss? Thank you

[@pqunit]

I gotta give it to the GT1000 here. Not that the HX sounds bad.. thing sounds great. But the GT1000 just sounds more realistic, less digital. Boss's previous generation of COSM pedals were good, but this AIRD thing has some magic sauce !

[@Phoboss32]

Soundwise, I liked the Boss GT-1000 more. It came across more natural sounding. It has also a bigger screen in which you can see much needed informations.

[@bradleyjames6390]

So the boss seems more dynamic which at times doesn’t feel as warm, however in saying that for high gain tones that is a plus and for those tones that are lacking some warmth it may be viable to run a compressor to get that warmth and more subtle dynamic response back into the tone whereas the l6 you get what you get

[@Bcwilderness]

the amp compression on the core isnt as clumpy and gives the impression its more open and dynamic giving chords more movement musically if thats important and should be and thats what a tube amp does

[@TheDilligan]

In my experience playing them, the amps are way better on the GT1000 because it responds in a much more realistic way. Like not only in terms of the saturation but the actual sound of the speaker emulation - the way a real amp does. The HX just uses IR's, so the speaker sounds the same no matter what you put into it. But the GT1000 sounds the way these amps actually realistically sound when you mic them. Part of it is the AIRD tech on the boss unit and part of it is that the Boss samples at 32bit, so it has a greater dynamic range. That said, they are so freaking close. I currently own the full size GT1000 and I kinda want a Stomp to go on my analog board as a DI solution - it's small, sounds good and the UI on it is just so much more user friendly.

[@StratsRUs]

The Helix is fantastic.And so is Boss. Ears are all you add.

[@peterschaefer1665]

Other than the fact that the Core sounds better, it switches instantly and feels so much better. It's a no Brainer!

[@Stefan-]

The difference in sound regarding amp simulation between these units are pretty much EQ and different settings or use of speaker emulation.

[@TheDilligan]

Yeah it's mostly coming down to Line6 IRs vs Boss AIRD. Boss AIRD is more realistic, if you're accustomed to miking the real amps. But if you're just looking for something that sounds good, they are both great. Comes down to preference.

[@andreil1234]

There's a difference however in feel that, all other considerations regarding sound quality left aside, can be quite important for some. I have an HX Stomp and find it absolutely great for what it is, however there's always something off about its reactivity to playing, feels rigid and has some perceivable input lag. The GT1k on the other hand feels much more responsive and immediate, which is something I really value.

[@efosefpsefjpos]

its the latency@@andreil1234

[@christopherhansford6876]

I love your comparisons. Firstly, the licks and progressions you use are entertaining and fun. Secondly, I feel you really give the most apples for apples settings possible. So thanks! Based on this video, the Boss sounds better to me.

[@doscheid]

About the amp modeling, to my ears it feels like the HX has a sound that I would like to hear in a record. Like it is record ready. But the Boss has a sound that I would prefer to hear while I'm playing/perfomring.

[@VintageRandom]

Man, I've had the GT1000 (full size) since it came out and during that time I've tried to describe the difference in these two. You absolutely nailed it.

[@KimmyKim0423]

Great demo sir. I've been following all your demos 🔥❤️

[@bombshelboy]

Great video, excellent playing. I learned that the Line 6 has a thicker harmonic response and thus dynamics don't come through as nicely. They both have pretty excellent tone overall, but that saturated response is detrimental if you want more control, so I guess I want the GT-1000 Core is what I'm saying

[@bombshelboy]

I just want to add, wow, that Line 6 octaver is hella inaccurate! Listen back, it gets notes wrong a couple times whereas the Boss nails it

[@JohnGarnerIII]

I agree. We don't want tone to be controlled by anything other than us. The BOSS unit seems to allow players to determine the exact sound the want. The othet unit sounded great..but even with no effects it colored the tone.

[@ShaighJosephson]

Wise choice... The Core's dynamics are cleaner because it's 32-bit/96khz...

[@COTG666]

Nice video. All comparisons should be done like this.

[@bloodflower2141]

incredible playing man.. can these presets be downloaded anywhere?

[@steffenla4]

Line 6 seems to sound more analog and organic while the Boss is cleaner and more hi-fi. It's especially noticeable on the tape delay.

[@lorenmorgan1931]

Organic for sure. I'm not sure there was a single clip here where the Boss wins. Just shows how far Line 6 has come in terms of modeling. Compare this to my 17 year old XT live this is night and day!

[@larrydavis3573]

@@lorenmorgan1931 Late I know but as Loren stated the Line 6 sounded more like an amp and the Boss sounded more like they where going for a "mix ready sound" and I think the more raw amp sound of the Line 6 would give a Producer more to work with in a recording scenario.

[@tarkgundogdu8940]

@@lorenmorgan1931 You can add some IR loader pedals (like mooer radar etc) after the XT and then still get pretty good modern/recent sounds.

[@lorenmorgan1931]

@@tarkgundogdu8940 I tried that to be honest. I used to shut off the speaker emulation all together and run it into a power amp and 4x12 mixed speaker cab. The sound was fairly decent, but the pedals and amp models have no dynamics at all, and a lot of the distortion/drive pedals (especially fuzz) have zero sustain. For the time it was one of the most loaded pedals out there, but to be honest, I could get better sounds out of my Roland VG88 most the time back then because it had dynamics. But either of them into my poweramp worked better for live situations.

[@pekkalaaksonen8384]

Excellent comparison, thank you.

[@marksun7846]

for me, gt1000 core is more powerful and can use far more effects same time than line6. It's a better portable effect-unit but as a stomp box on board, hx stomp is just enough. And the most important is line6's operating system is easier to understand and operate. So not just because of the sound quality.

[@R2robot]

The GT1kC seems closer to the tone i'm looking for. Thanks for the comparison.

[@c03x157]

Helix bassy and crispy, the boss have better mids, in the mix the helix need more eq touch that boss, but in heavy amps is the helix better,, on fx is boss... for me of course

[@KevinSeifert]

Initially I liked the GT 1000 better when listening on my smartphone speaker. But when I plugged in my studio headphones, I heard a crisp smoothness with the HX that sounded very analog. I think the HX may win by a small margin. Tape delay was very nice. Both sound good though.

[@ragnadrabinowitz7629]

both sound great

[@davidspingler6337]

Generally pretty comparable to each other, but I do prefer the HX overall. That said, I would have no issues with using the Boss and know that it would give me the sounds I wanted/needed with some tweaking. I’m not crazy about the user interface and input/output layout on the GT, and those are 2 of the areas where I like the HX stuff a lot better, but again, after a learning period it’d be just fine. Lots of amazing modeling/profiling available right now for guitarists, and you really can’t go wrong with the majority of them. Good comparison vid, by the way. It seemed like there was an effort to make sure several important variables were properly accounted for.

[@AAr0nM]

Overall, I think I would go with the GT-1000. Dynamic range seemed more natural. From a recording perspective, the GT sounds seem like tones I would have to do less tweaking to fit into the mix. Not that the Helix tones are bad, they are totally useable, just might take a little bit more to finesse them to work.

[@fgonzalez90]

Line 6 for amp-modelling; Boss for everything else! I'll prefer the Boss for overall versatility (its amp-modelling is pretty good, though).

[@GuiltyGearOnline]

GT-1000. Way more dynamic.

[@LuisJimenez-pb3ge]

I went into my music store ready to buy the Helix Lt or the Gt1000 but, they didn’t have the Gt they only had the GX100. I walked out with the GX100. It sounded more alive than the Helix.

[@guil_juliao]

Helix for me, amps are more realistic and the effects are incredible. Very inspiring pedal from what I've heard here so far. Great demo!

[@randszzob8590]

Thank you once again for a really helpful video. I've just scored the Boss off my list. For almost every sound I preferred the Line 6.

[@ptrisonic]

I don't have either, so no axe to grind. Frankly they are very close and on some the Boss wins on others the Line 6. However I much prefer the visibility of the Stomp's screen - it looks easy to read if you are standing over it. Best, Pete PS Sorry I meant to add that if it doesn't take off as Boss want. they will drop supporting it after a couple of years.

[@vivekmehta5172]

Ha Ha, no axe !

[@markseymour8365]

Boss units don't normally get released when they're only half ready though so the support is not so much of an issue. In any case, I think it's better to buy a unit based on what it does now, not on what the manufacturer claims it might do after a few firmware updates.

[@vidmon]

Damn! This video must have taken several hundred hours to put together. Much appreciated and GREAT JOB! I'm leaning towards the HX to produce the the sounds I'm looking for most. Both are great and well worth the money.

[@Davimre]

Amp/cab sims: HX by a mile OD/Dist/Fuzz: Draw Modulation: Slightly HX Octave/Harmonizer: Draw Delay/Reverb: HX HX seems more natural, while the GT-1000 feels more like an effect. In the mix, you might not hear a huge difference, but getting a good tone is essential for being inspired in the first place. HX wins.

[@saltyhose8257]

really ? many people said the gt1000 wins soundwise and feel more natural over the helix floor, aren't these unit the supposed to be the same soundwise ?

[@zaporoshti3392]

@@saltyhose8257 gt1000 series have better sound than helix series. but helix series are not that bad with a good IR file and helix products have good easy to use interface. for me boss gt1000 core is the best among boss gt1000, boss gt1000 core, helix stomp, helix lt and helix floor. because it is small like helix stomp, can have long paths more than one, overall easy to carry around with the same power as gt1000 full board. also unique boss effects are awesome.

[@64north20west]

helix sounds better in some, and Boss sounds better in others. I own the Boss and the ones where it lags in this video can be fixed with either amp settings, EQ settings, or subtle use of the over 100 built in effects. You can't go wrong with either of these, but I'm staying with the Boss.

[@codymartinez830]

I own the core as well and agree

[@toileetre9250]

Hey guys. According To me the sound you' have is what you make from them. I Like the divider mode in GT1000 so you can make your own stereo sound by assigning for exemple two différent amps L and R in Channel A and B with both differents effects ! That makes a really big sound

[@ShaighJosephson]

That's where the fun begins... Set up a stereo path and use your mono pedals in the 2 FX loops assigned to each stereo channel... I've got a Mood/Sunlight/DarkStar on one channel...then a Draume/Lore/DarkWorld on the other... The sound design possibilities with this wonder box are never ending... 🙂

[@gainonten4031]

thanks for the video. It is so complex to make this kind of videos. For that I will give you a like and a subscribe. However, it is difficult for me to find a good / strong difference between the 2. They both sound awesome. Maybe one has a stronger Bass EQ, or volume, its so hard to tell them apart. Any help on specific points where you actually hear them very different?

[@ferdians]

I'm new on this. But isn't it true that GT1000Core don't have much amp modelling compared to HX Stomp? The amp comparison, is it using the 'template available only' on Core, and match it with HX Stomp? Since Core don't have many variance of Amp modelling in it? However, I feel that Core have more dynamics and response, despite it only have few options of modelled amp in it. Great video, thumbs up 👍

[@ShaighJosephson]

I believe it has about 30 amp models after the last update... Importing IRs makes all the difference...

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

Other things to consider - if you go for the Stomp you can by Helix native software for £100 instead of £400. And since the Stomp is already £200 less... Also L6 continually adds new amps and fx with new firmwares. In this test I slightly prefer the Boss sound, but I think eq will make an enormous difference to both as will IRs. They both have very good PC/Mac editors

[@markseymour8365]

Hang on so if you buy a Line6 product that 's already running the Helix software, they still make you pay again for a separate copy of it? Doesn't sound like much of an incentive to me. Also, if someone prefers the sound of the Boss unit, a discount on the Helix software wouldn't be in the least appealing to my mind.

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

@@markseymour8365 well you’re buying a plugin that does everything the hardware modeler does. Many companies have brought out plugin versions of hardware without *any* discount like Eventide, Strymon etc. And you can do very different things with the plugin too, like immediate re-amping and if your computer’s fast enough, some incredibly complex sounds. Since my original post the price dropped from £400 to £49 with Stomp, which itself is just over £400. Right now you can get Native, Metallurgy and Cubase 12 LE free.

@@Arthur_My_Dear Okay, thanks for the info, that doesn't sound so bad then. I've never asked my friend who has a Helix but I just assumed he'd gotten the Helix Native software for free.

The Core is much better sound quality at 32bit/96khz... The kicker for me was how well the Core handled my acoustic electric guitars in comparison to the HX...

[@adde65]

In Australia the HX Stomp is about $100 more expensive than GT Core, which seems to be the opposite of almost everywhere else? Not sure why. The Boss has much lower current draw, which is also a selling point for me, as it's easier to integrate into a small portable pedal setup.

[@markseymour8365]

All Line6 products are 30% more in Thailand than they are in the UK. Not sure why. Perhaps they just hate us.

[@bermingaya5271]

Yeah thats right. I see comments everywhere about boss gt1kcore is more expesive but here in OZ u can get a second hand gt for 650 and hx stomp for 850 give or take.

[@jourdinthedragon]

In the US, at least right now, the CORE is absolutely $100 less than the hx stomp. Got the CORE because I think it's easier to dial in, I think it sounds better, and that sampling rate and 1ms latency is amazing

[@barendtromp]

Both units sound fairly close in general. The Boss amps have more top end and clarity, The HX sounds a bit warmer. The delays and reverbs sound more digital on the Boss and more analog on the HX. So I prefer those effects on the Stomp. Pitch effects sound better on the HX too I think. But overall both units are close in quality vs price. It's a matter of taste which one is the best for you. Very good demo!

[@alexàlaguitare]

Great video, thanks. And you play so good !

[@SergeyPupkoMusic]

I think both are great but probably the biggest detractor for the HX is it's not even close to the capability and functionality of its Helix big brother. The GT-1000 Core is a GT-1000 with fewer stomps and no expression pedal. Full functionality and all.

[@TheDilligan]

This is true. I'm a gt1000 user. I have the full size one. But I am still attracted to the stomp just because they emulate a wider variety of effects - at least when it comes to Drives.

[@portuguesebeer5069]

In my oppinion, Boas Gt-1000 sounds better in almost all the videos i saw. Mutch better. This is the only vídeo i saw that Helix has some samples that i think sound better at my ears. Can be a case of global eq, the tecnique of the guitar player, etc, etc. Booth sound great.

[@sjpachica3]

That Boss GT-1000 CORE is👌🏽

[@Mert-kz2wr]

I have two valve amps at home, and using them with two different sets of effects: One is a standalone Helix LT, the other one is a pedalboard which includes the GT1000Core and few drive/fuzz/booster pedals from JHS, Xotic, Proco, Dod and Mesa Boogie. What I can say is, both units are great, as you can also follow from the video. If I had to let one of the units go, I would really have hard time to decide. For me the drive tones are the best from valve amp, as well as sometimes from analog pedals. But when I don't feel like carrying my pedalboard with me, I am sure that the pedal modulations on both Helix and Boss will be more than enough for me. They emulate the sounds of the analog units just perfect, sometimes fool myself if it is the pedal itself, or the modulation from the Helix or Boss. Digital effects are wonderful, I don't even see myself buying chorus/phaser/flanger/tremolo/pitch pedals anymore. My only wish would be that the Boss had few more effects like Waza series, Dimension chorus and so on. My take on this, get whichever you fancy, you cannot go wrong eitherways. Great video!!!

[@essa15555]

[@magnozapata903]

First of all: excellent to find a "NO TALKING VIDEO" Second, its a matter of personal taste but i prefer the Line 6

[@arthuroliveira4326]

Both sound really good, but I'm on the GT1000 team.

[@Astronaut_FX]

If I was deciding between these two, and was planning to use it almost exclusively with headphones as a quiet way to practice, is there one that sounds better through headphones than the other? Because from this video, while I can hear subtle differences, those differences would not lead me to think the Boss is worth the extra $100. But if the difference through headphones is more pronounced, I would not be opposed to the extra cost. Any thoughts?

[@trer1969]

I considered both but went with the GT-1000. Going back 20-odd years I've always been a bit suspect of Line 6, tones always seemed "close, but no cigar" to me. That said, for my computer-based amps and effects, I tried Helix Native against Bias Amp2 and Bias FX2, and Helix was better, but not hundreds of dollars better, so I went with the Bias apps. I think the GT-1000 sounds amazing, and this is coming from a guy who still has a perfectly good GT-8 out in the garage...I've been messing with these things for a long time. The A.I.R.D. modeling is next-gen stuff, but you have to dig in and learn your way around to tweak things to taste. The factory patches are good, but have some fun noodling around with all the goodies included and make the tones your own. I looked at it this way, for $700 I'm getting virtually every Boss pedal you can buy, from Boss, instead of a company that is trying to copy Boss products...that's a bargain alone, much less all the other things it can do. Also consider this; the Stomp has been around a while...for an extra $100 you can get a brand-new product and future-proof yourself for the next few years.

[@justinTime077]

Agreed. L6 sounds close. That’s exactly right, and I could never stop hearing that it sounded CLOSE. Boss does a great job at the very least in sounding good, even if it is only close. L6 sacrifices something I find crucial, a liveliness in the tone, for whatever end they reach.

[@raichoo]

Got the GT-1000CORE and it sounds and feels absolutely amazing. I did a lot of research and comparison between the HX Stomp and the GT-1000 and in the end BOSS came out as the winner for me. I know it's subjective, some people might prefer the HX Stomp, but modellers these days have become so good that it's mostly personal preference. I also have an Axe FX at home, but the CORE is small enough to carry it in my gig bag and I don't feel like I'm compromising on the road, compared to the Axe FX.

[@kimsoundmusic]

I have both floorboard models, L6 is the LT model. I play through a Yamaha THL10. It’s a little stereo amp modeler with a “wide open” setting that seems to project the sound well beyond the front of the cabinet. The amp is pretty incredible on its own, but the floorboards have way more effects with plenty of control. So I built a patch in each unit that has stereo delays, chorus, and Leslie simulation. As you would expect, I did my best to build patches as close as possible for comparison. I connect the floorboards to the amp using the headphone outs to the auxiliary in on the amp. When connecting this way, the signal is not affected by the amp modeling. So the headphone out to the auxiliary in is the key and this is why I am attempting to answer your question. In this setup the line 6 comes through a bit more compressed/warmer/darker sounding, and the stereo spread is clearly discernible but not “wide”. Kind of what you would expect from a stereo system. The BOSS, however, is a very different story. You cannot believe the difference until you experience it for yourself. The BOSS is very open and transparent, not compressed “sounding” even though I am using some compression in the patch but it is not interfering with natural space at all. Just a beautiful clear sound that allows the effects to do their thing, and they do in a big way. The sound appears to be coming from everywhere in the room. The interaction between the two technologies, the YAMAHA and BOSS is causing each to shine. But the point is, the technical differences between the L6 and BOSS can clearly be heard in this setup. Some people describe hearing “fizziness” in the BOSS tones but EQ will tame the Fizziness. Even L6 produces fizziness but the reason it’s more noticeable in BOSS is because the tone is more transparent and clear. It’s a sense of “space” the line 6 just does not produce or project. It’s just not there. FYI -My helix is for sale.

[@jimmcdougall9973]

As a Kemper user, I am able to view these two from a neutral stance, and must say, from a tone/overall sound point of view, the HX wins hands down. The Boss seems to lack that something. Warmth? Balls? The HX seems far more natural and pleasant to listen to.

[@AppAxis]

I didnt have a choice. The HX Stomp was the only one Best Buy sold #SpaceOnMyCard #Helix #Line6 #GiftForMyself

[@MJPGuitar]

I feel that. I had a guitar center credit card and sweetwater had the item I really wanted more 😂

[@AppAxis]

@@MJPGuitar the struggle is REAL!

[@Alex-xx3ve]

Bro thank you for this comment I have 400 bucks in store credit at Best Buy and I didn’t even know they sold this haha just ordered it:)

[@AppAxis]

@@Alex-xx3ve they shuffle their shelves fast. They no longer sell half my wishlist. #RolandMc101 #FocusriteIsaOne Enjoy it! Its a nice piece of kit.

[@kenmasters007]

Wish the core had Bluetooth.. maybe in the next revision. Both are great.. just make music and stop chasing down new gear

[@p10rambo]

You can add external Bluetooth

[@TheDilligan]

@@p10rambo The bluetooth on the GT1000 is not for your guitar. It's for editing your patches. You can get boss Tone Studio on your phone and save/store/edit patches via bluetooth. I think that's what he is referring to.

[@p10rambo]

@@TheDilligan I'm not saying it's for the guitar, you can add an external usb/midi bluetooth to the gt1000core to enable all the Bluetooth features in the big model

[@daveschorrtube]

I keep thinking that it's just a matter of time before we'll be able to adjust the tones with our finger on our cell phones. What do you think? Should I wait?

The Line 6 sounds like the intro part of the song where there is only the guitarist playing and the whole band has yet to kick in.....The BOSS sounds like the whole band just kicked in and the whole song is now sounding full. The BOSS is bottom end heavier than the Line 6. The Line 6 is too Bare metal and sounds like it has very little processing happening (sounds like). Which can be argued both ways, during mixing, the Line 6 will give you more of a head room to work the sound while the BOSS will have very little of the same. But for on stage sound, unless there is a good amp the Line 6 will be a pain to mix on the board, it might need a whole lot of boost. The BOSS is built for the stage.....and will need very little meddling on the board, provided the artist did his home work and dialed in a good patch........Both are great tone generators.... in my opinion, the Line 6 is better suited for the studio and the BOSS is made for the stage....I prefer the BOSS.......

[@robchrystal]

It was set on the Core despite a Line 6 User for decades. Is it the settings or does the core just sound a bit cloudy .?

[@lovecraftmusic8717]

What chorus was used in the intro, please?

[@DavidGarcia-wn6ie]

Es un vídeo , pero la impresión es que él boss parece más que escuchas a través de un ampli en algunos efectos , y las distorsiones más pensadas las veo mejor del boss. Ambos son muy buenos pero me decantaría por boss para lo que yo uso .

[@jorge67891]

En cuestión de dinámica en el modelado de amps, BOSS es superior a todas las marcas, el sonido ya es cosa de gusto.

[@jorge67891]

@@DavidGarcia-wn6ie soy usuario de las cosas BOSS de hace tiempo. Estoy más familiarizado con ellos, tengo una idea de cómo piensan las cosas y me gusta pasar tiempo en los manuales 😆😆. Incluso Fractal que muchos lo ponen como una unidad complicada, hace las cosas más sencillas, solo tienes que activar algo o tienen algún buen preset que puedas editar, pero BOSS te pone a dar vueltas y sus presets e IRs suenan la mayoría horribles jajajaja. Usando mis propios IRs y editando mis propios presets puedo obtener casi cualquier cosa que quiera. Pero las otras marcas me ponen todo más fácil de cara al usuario, en todos los aspectos.

[@rudydellefave1075]

Il suono è soggettivo ma la maggior potenza di calcolo della boss è innegabilmente un vantaggio!!

[@mc30052]

What is better between a banana and a strawberry ? It depends what do you like... Some will prefer the sound of boss, other the sound of helix.

[@halidharis]

I'm a big fan of boss fx product but throug all years they always relied on so many potentiometer on their product which is hard to find the sparepart in case we need to repair it...i had that issue on my gt6 and gt100.i wish boss can improve their product with provide the part..in fact we live in touch screen era

[@olivergebauer2406]

that transistor tape part (HX Stomp) sounds great!

[@MrMatt9793]

That's one of my favorite effects on the stomp period. At over $600 it seems pricey, but it was aggravating as hell when I A/B'd the pedals I own vs their versions 😅 hundreds if not thousands of dollars of pedals I've collected over the past 15 or so years rendered mostly obsolete lol

[@GuitarArt666]

Boss number one!!

[@Mr.Goldbar]

HX Stomp much better in the amp modeling thing but both are equal on the effects

[@howardroark4227]

thank you for doing this!

[@arielmaia93]

In really, gt1000 core is in fact the gt1000 with less switches and expression pedal. Hx stomp is an helix with no legs and arms.

[@Spawn2426]

Depois de ler os comentários fiquei preocupado com minha audição. Me parece que a maioria preferiu a Gt1000. Eu tive a sensação que o som da Hx stomp era mais complexo, com mais camadas de de frequências enquanto a gt1000 me parecia um som mais simples e mais comprimido. Essa foi minha sensação escutando no auto falante so celular.

[@fivinh0]

Sugiro usar um fone de ouvido, de preferência um bom fone. Particularmente eu prefiro o som da HX, mas ela soa bem menos natural que o da GT1000. Em termos de qualidade do áudio a Boss tá na frente mesmo.

[@Spawn2426]

​@@fivinh0 pois é, realmente um lado do meu celular não está funcionando, ouvirei em um fone JBL... obrigado

[@hanovergreen4091]

Thank you!!!! Great info and resource. Best Regards!!!!

[@TheOldFlyguy]

I think they are both great but me Boss wins. GT sounds more authentic as being played live. For me more inspirational as a player. Stomp sound great but more like a recording than being played. Just my two cents.

[@Sergo50011]

Wow!!!! Ab 17:00 min. Einfach ein Traum! Thanks Thanks Thanks!!!

[@workdays8280]

What are they threw a pa . compared to the quad cortex

[@batphink2655]

You do some beautiful playing I HOPE some of those chordal ideas are tunre dinto songs? Thye are that good trust me I write song lol! Great demo friend :)

[@Tmidiman]

The GT1000Core sounds best to my ears. Less harsh. The tech in the L6 unit is pretty old and dated now, and it didn’t sound good even when it first was released.

[@artysanmobile]

Important consideration: Boss has the lowest latency numbers in the industry due to their own DSP solutions. Virtually zero latency so can be used in insert configs without delay issues.

[@damiendemougeot2065]

hello for each amp, what kind of speaker simulation are we listening ? thank you

[@foxotik72]

Boss likes!!!

[@samiam9059]

Is the HX 32bit everything at 96KHZ? So many of these find it so sneaky to get specifications.

[@aaronhiggs]

Nope. The boss is.

[@ChadBoston]

Outstanding
