[@samhainlimon]

I got a Pod Go shortly after they came out. I've had various units including a sans Amp RK5 1st version, zoom g5, and lots of Amps etc. Your videos helped me make the right choice for me The Pod Go can get a very close quality sound (at least 95%) to the other units as I AB each unit using a radial mic/line switcher while running them through a PA. Playing live after a few songs any of these sounds and I would be happy. For the price and what it can do it is simply the best option for me as my band is quite diverse so I need to be able to call up country, modern rock, classic rock, pop and metal. Just amazing what is possible for the price these days. I haven't even scratched the surface regarding using all of the models effects etc. I get about 6 basic sounds and that's it. I pretty much started to sell stuff on reverb etc so I can just concentrate on pod go. It's all there 99% of what you will ever need if you play live and or do basic recording. One box no more headaches with 4 or5 different pedals 🙏👍🏽👌🏽

[@EddyHabits]

Another great video, Leo. Thank you so much. I own the GE250 and the more I use it, the happier I am with it. Yesterday, I played my first big gig, and it sounded amazing through the PA. The XLR outputs straight into the PA made setting things up really easy. I also found the simple but very bright screen to be great in a live setting. For practice sessions, the rhythm machine sounds surprisingly good, and much, much nicer than the rhythm sounds on my old Zoom G5 (although I haven't heard the G6). The one really annoying feature of the GE250 is that you can't disable the tuner or the looper, so you have to be careful in a live setting that you don't hit two foot switches at the same time by accident, killing the sound (with the tuner), or even worse, accidentally triggering the looper!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

HI Eddy, thank you, I'm happy you like the video!!! Yes, the GE 250 is a great unit and the XLR straight into the mix is an awesome solution for these kind of machines...Thank you also for sharing your experience abut tuner and looper...

I got my Pod Go a while ago and I've never felt any regret. It really depends on taste. For me, this was the perfect decision and with my favorite IR, everything sounds great. Since I'm in need of a unit, that works in live situations, the amount auf footswitches made it for me. The last update included an acoustic simulation, which I hoped for. It's not perfect, but still decent. At this point, I don't think you can go wrong with either the Pod Go or one of the other units. They all sound good enough for live music. Thank you for another great video! Cheers :)

Another great video Leo! You got great tones out of all the modellers. Much like this commenter, I have never regretted my POD Go purchase. I actually got to show and demonstrate it to my neighbor across the street yesterday who is a modern metal player using a 7 string. He loved the way it sounded and how easy it was to get usable tones immediately without much tweaking. He's a Boss GT100 owner and might switch to the POD Go. The reverbs and delays are just magnificent. God bless and rock on 😎👍🎸

[@user-os3vt8lm6g]

Less gain = more clarity and string separation, so i think that to compare with real amp there must be some minor tweaking in gain level with all modelers

[@Pharesm]

The availability of the Pod Go Wireless @ 539 Euro swayed my decision, after finally finding one. Its still en route... Without wireless, it would have still won for me, because with a different Mooer unit I tried, I did not like the way it sounded on the types of patches I prefer. Also, the stereo FX loop is really critical, when you want to put an Eventide H9 on it. Things like "Shimmer" or the many delays just have to be stereo... The bummers on the Pod Go are lack of Midi, lack of touch screen and from what I read, lack of processing power to use all slots in the chain, depending on your FX choices. If I insisted on that, I'd have to go to 800 Euro for a huge and heavy Helix LT. Its funny that you just made a new comparison with the Pod Go just after I ordered it :) :)

Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion and experience! Yes, it's funny...I was about it since a long time, but never find the time to do it... Thank you once more!

Hi Leo! Any suggestions to use the GE 250 with tube amps? I have a Laney super top 12. Thks for your comments and help.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Ho Rodrigo, I would use it i with the 4 cable method, removing from the GE 250 both the amp and the cab blocks, therefore using the GE 250 for effects (both before the pre amp, like distortions, compressions etc, and after the preamp, like time effects Thank you for your question!

[@makingmusiconline2309]

I think the choice is hard between the GE250 and the Pod Go, but since it is possible to pick up an HX Stomp for around $400-500 second hand, I bought one of those instead .... it doesn't have many footswitches, but I'm handling that with a MIDI footcontroller as the HX Stomp has MIDI in, out, and thru. Of course it doesn't have a built in expression pedal, so unless you already own one, you might have to add an extra $50-$100 to add one.

Pitch shifter is bad in the GE250, except this point I am really happy of my choice. It's small, 3 footswitches are enough for a song so I have a standard 3-set I use for 80% of songs and some other set. So easy to use, exp pedal is too small but you can't have everything. One thing I don't understand is why it sends unprocessed sound to Audacity even if I set the USB audio mode to Normal.

Thank you Daniele, I didn't use extensively the pitch shifter so I didn't notice its quality. Strange behavior with audacity...

Some, like the Ampero, have more connection options. My biggest question is which one is the most intuitive? I don't want to have to constantly read a manual or watch a tutorial or go ask questions on a forum. Which is easiest to program?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, it's hard to answer...as also easiness is not always the same for everybody. If you use the computer app I think they are all pretty easy to be used. If you use only the physical unit, maybe the Ampero and the GE 250 (for different reasons) are the easiest...in my opinion. Thank you for your question!

[@jreagle58]

@@LeoGibsonGtr I currently use Amplitube in a standalone application. Not many use it in a live setting and truth be told I have only used it live in a friendly jam setting. It requires a notepad, interface, amp head and pa. I'd like to cut that down.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Ok, I see, thank you for sharing!

[@accentontheoff]

Do you feel that the fact that the Pod Go only allows 4 effects at a time is not an issue. As a home recordist it’s the only thing holding me back from getting it. Esp since it records at higher frequencies - in fact do to you think that this feature makes a big difference in home recordings. Is the difference audible. Thanks in advance.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, I'm not an effect geek, and I'm fine with just few of them....so this is not a limitation for me...but it depends from your needs. As regards the freq, I typically record at 48khz, 24 bits...and (unless you go through many ADA conversion stages) the difference with 44.1 is negligible. Thank you!

[@accentontheoff]

@@LeoGibsonGtr Got it, thanks for the considered reply. Cheers 😊

[@accentontheoff]

@@LeoGibsonGtr Quick question. Would it make sense to record the guitar in 44 and then convert it to 48. That way my main song project can be in 48 and I can just import the guitar file.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You can do it. As far as I know you have to pay attention to the timing, because when you change the kHz you also change the "speed" of the track. But I'm not sure...

[@accentontheoff]

@@LeoGibsonGtr Ok thanks.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

[@cirospm]

Zoom is more trebly and brilliant. Works good for line or phones, but through amps/power amps i never got any good sound. Pod Go too bassy. Mooer and Hotone sounds better to me. But about the feel, resposiveness..? Not the plain sound, but the way the pedal reacts the way you play...? (best one i saw is an old vox tonelab SE, zooms dont compare)

[@majstamajster]

Hi. Which one sound best on headphones?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, well...hard to say...I can't hear any difference....

Can you compare MG-30 to Quad Cortex?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, I have some other videos in the pipeline for the MG 30...like a comparison with the POD GO that is highly requested...also your suggestion is interesting...maybe in the coming weeks. Thank you!

[@diegovenegas3083]

Para tocar en vivo, crear bancos de sonidos + fx ? cual seria la mejor opción?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Diego, yes, I prefer to have presets. And if you want gapless switch, in the POD GO you can use snapshots. Thank you for your question!

[@TheGuitarGuy.]

I been watching this video since long & bought zoom g6 as it sounds closest to real than others, also comment section earlier used to be filled with everyone being shocked about how zoom sounds much closer to real than other units and they all suggested for zoom but now for some reason i cant see those options! Seems someone deleted them…

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you for sharing! I don't know what happened to comments.....I'm sorry

[@batmandeltaforce]

Everything sounds good today. The difference is "feel", which can not be presented in a video:)

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for your message! I my last comparison videos I've tried also to demonstrate the "feel"...showing the dynamic range management, the note envelop etc. Of course its an approximation, but you know...something is better than nothing...😊

[@batmandeltaforce]

@@LeoGibsonGtr Yes, I think it was your video comparing the Headrush to others that made me realize that the HR does not sustain, or ring out nearly like a real amp. I KNEW it did not feel right and now I know why:) THANKS!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You are welcome!

[@64north20west]

I wouldn't buy pod go. If I wanted line 6 sound I would spend a little more and get the stomp. As for these 4, Mooer sounds great and may be the best option here. Ampero is not bad, and it may have an advantage with so many cabinets if they are good sounding. If you like Mooer then that says a lot because there is probably a very small number of people who put gear through the rigorous tests that you do. Another great video. Saludos!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion and I'm happy you like the video!

[@creamyhose4986]

The problem with the stomp is that it's to small with just only 3 footswitches and no on board exp pedal, there is a newer one the stomp xl but still no exp pedal, it's all depend on what you need

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, if you want 8 foot switches and you have a budget limit of around 600, you have the following options: Valeton GP 200, POD GO, BOSS GX 100. Otherwise if you can use a midi controller, you have many more options....

The prices of them are far different. In Thailand, the pod go is almost 25,000 Baht while the GE 250 is 13,900, almost 10000 baht different. So the ME 300 should should be more suitable to be compared.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Alexandre, thank you for sharing!

[@emm1855-q6n]

I wanted to buy a g6 but now I realize that the ge250 offerts much more. I thought that the touch screen could be more user friendly but the way the interface is built makes it not easy to use as expected. About tone I think it also depends on pickups of the guitar. But in your demo with same setup I found the Ampero and Podgo not as clearly defined.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Emmanuel, thank you for sharing your opinion and experience!

[@FLdb-wj4wc]

I have a Helix floor and the Ampero. The Ampero sounds better. It's also easier to dial in a good sound and it's small. The Marshall in the Ampero is great! I will have to figure out if I can get all of the sounds I need live with the Ampero and that could be a challenge because it only has 4 foot switches but it definitely sounds better than my Helix. I can't seem to get delay trails to work between foot switches and that could be a deal breaker. I thinks they only work with the control switch. If anyone knows, please comment otherwise the Ampero is the best sounding modeler I've ever tried.

Leo, I see you have two guitars that are very much like Steinberger ZT3 guitars, or previous models... Did you ever try the Steinberger with the tuning tremolo called "trans trem"...? You can bend chords up and down with the whammy bar and they'll stay perfectly in tune...

Hi, I never tried the Steinberger ZT3 actually...interesting guitar for sure...thank you for pointing it out!

@@LeoGibsonGtr Its a little hard to get your hands on one these days, since Steinberger is defunct, sadly. You can still get parts, but the ZT3 is pretty much only available by way of Japanese Re-Imports on Ebay around 3k Euro, which is more than they originally cost in the stores...

It's sad to see where Zoom has landed with regards to their multi effects units. I bought their original 9001 back in '91 and that was considered state of the art all those years ago for something in that category but today, their ME units are identified as second-tier products even when compared to Chinese upstarts. As others have noted, its processing power is nearly tapped out after only three or four pedals...this is ridiculous. That's what you expect from a toy, not something any professional would use. Someone at Zoom needs to get their shit together; otherwise, the name will continue to be synonymous with cheap, plastic units that look like they were designed by a bored high school metalhead scribbling on a notepad during detention...and the Pep Boys fake carbon fiber...need I say more?
