Line 6 Pod Go vs Boss GX100 - Which Should You Buy?

[@johnnathancordy]

So tones are probably not very easy to compare across these models, but I dialled in some tones that I'm enjoying with the GX100 and just put them side by side with some tones from the POD Go that I also use. In the GX100 I'm using the Boutique Model and a "JCCab" IR In the Pod GO I'm using the Litigator Model and the same IR

[@marcdwonn9772]

In the intro the Line6 sounded more juicy and middy, the Boss more dry and scooped. I prefer the Line6 sound in this example. More comparisons would be very interesting, at least to me.

[@manishbiswas9235]

Can you please provide the parameters of the effects of the Signal chain? It will be very helpful. Thanks in advance

[@Scott__C]

Nice comparison! In the Boss stuff, the Control 1 and 2 switches can actually switch settings on pedals and turn stuff on and off. On the older stuff (GT-100) it allowed I think 8 that could be divided up between the Control switches. I used those to add gain, turn on delay and reshape EQ and level for a lead.

[@peterblau6592]

Thanks for showing how the crossover feature works. Big plus and game changer for the Boss

[@ashandesilvaguitarist]

looking forward to more gx100 videos. thanks Johnathan.

[@micwalt]

I got the GX-100 a few days ago, and I'm liking it much more that the POD Go. And as for the "no snapshots" issue, you can totally achieve the same sort of thing with the GX because you can assign anything anywhere you want. For example, I created a preset where CTL1 switches between the two amps, as well as toggling delay and chorus. So there's two snapshots there--one dirty rhythm sound and one clean sound with delay and chorus. Then, on the same preset, FS4 turns on a comp, delay, the amp Solo function, and cranks the level a couple db for leads. So that's essentially a third snapshot. Then I've got just delay on FS3 and just phaser on FS2, and I assigned amp gain to the exp pedal, instead of volume. It's so freaking versatile.

[@LithuanianGuitar]

Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question, but for example, in your mentioned preset, if you want to switch from, let's say FS1 to FS3, does toggling FS3 automatically turn off FS1? In other words, is it possible to make this work in the exact way the snapshot mode on Line 6 works?

[@micwalt]

@@LithuanianGuitar Actually, that's an excellent question. Unfortunately, the answer is no (as far as I know). Each FS can be either toggle or momentary, but that's it. I haven't found this to be an impediment, but I can see how it could be for someone who's used to the snapshot layout.

[@emusic4048]

I believe on the above you are only in stomp mode right? But i believe you can use memory mode like in the video so you can assign its footswitch like a snapshot like in the pod go? I’m planning to get GX100 over Pod Go because they have functionality on that terms…do i get it right?

[@Kirk19995]

@emusic4048 ​ I think you are correct. I just got this pedalboard GX-100 and I am using it in Memory mode, which it allows me to set totally different rigs in the same bank, different foot switches.

[@thrash8315]

I am thinking about going to the Boss GX-100 for the same reason. Were you able to successfully incorporate this? I got an EVH Iconic and would like to keep Channel 2 and boost while dressing up the Clean channel with Chorus effects, etc.

[@illgottengains1314]

@@thrash8315 hiya mate, no I bought the ME-90 and tried that. It was good but it wasn’t good enough for me to keep. The GX would be better no doubt, but I’m just not into effects enough to buy one.

[@AlecBourneMidiMadScientist]

I’ve been having a bit of a look at this one after a good few months digging into the katana air which does the same preset spillover- it’s a bit of a selling point I reckon BOSS should be pushing a bit more with respect to line6 gear. Could be a very interesting idea for hybrid rigs running the pair connected via midi for a truly extensive signal chain. Another great point is this relatively accessible bit of kit can be easily edited on mobile devices wirelessly. Great ergonomics and a load of flexibility for sound checks or moving around at a gig wirelessly with one of Dom’s button gizmos.

[@jackprice7828]

John going back to all your videos on the GX100. Reason is, my HX Stomp failed, which really surprised me. It stopped having any output level. Its been a great work horse for me for close to 4 years. I'm trying to decide to whether I want to move up in a Line 6 HX product or perhaps the GX100 for a fully contained multi-effects. I'm now well versed in the Helix programming and learning a whole new system is daunting. But budget is a factor too.

[@l.g.5899]

The main reason i'll go with Boss is it's a new unit, has a few years of "life" guaranteed, for firmware and the possibility to be eventually sold for a reasonable price.

[@rtroiani]

I currently have WAZA Air, had a GT-1 that I sold and bought a Pod Go for the more buttons/flexibility for gigging. The Pod is good, but I definitely hear the different in the Boss sounds and (to me) they sound much better. I also got used to Boss Tone Central and really like their software better. I'll admit, I steal a lot of settings from the Studio Rats channel. I see a GX100 in my future.

[@johnnytwo-shoes9798]

With the boss gx100 seemless switching approach using banks for songs and patches/presets instead of snapshots, is kinda the old digital multifx approach before snapshots/scenes were a thing. Units like the boss gt10, Korg ax1000 - 3000g, Digitech and old zoom units. I get that your point is that it is seemless unlike the other units. I can't speak to the seemlessness of the old units as I sold mine but the approach is actually a really old approach to bank/patch(preset) design. People would use the HD500s like that too. Can't remember if you could assign more than one block per FS on that, since it's been a while since I've used mine (Edit) Just checked you can turn multiple blocks on/off with FS on the HD500 but not parameter changes hence using the bank per song/preset in lieu of snapshots approach. Looper spills over, can't remember if verb/delay trails do. You would have 4 patches per bank and use the banks for a single song with the 4 patches as different snapshots for song sections. These units also had a manual hold footswitch that then turned the patch into stomp mode so you could turn on/off individual effects but not parameters without bending down and editing with your hands. Most would program using the bank per song/4 patches(presets) to get the parameter changes as well as effects on/off assigned to the 4 footswitches eg Song1 Bank 1A - clean |bank1B - crunch/clean with delay | bank1C - heavy gain | bank1D - solo + delay. Song2 Bank 2 etc

[@akzdb]

Wait Bro, I think you are forgetting that boss has the ctl system next to the assignments and there you can change absolutely everything so you no longer only have 4 patches per bank 😁😁

Here comes the nerd rage! The Boss allows you to tweak the speaker cabs.

The L6's ability to custom name and color your stomps is a huge bonus. I hope Boss adds that in a firmware update

[@phi2771]

Great comparison. I like the idea of an amp out for a stage tone, with a separate output for the front of house. (PodGo). Does the Boss unit offer that feature? If not, what amp modelers should I be looking at? Thanks

[@Pulse2AM]

You play great, if I ever need a guitar solo on one of my tunes I'll look you up! I own the GT-1 and have had a few PODs, you really need to ignore what the amp and effect models are called and use your ears to get your tone. Sometimes it might be a full clean amp with a certain distortion pedal that get's you that Marshall tone you hear in your head.

[@chekozmd]

That's totally right!

[@runaround666]

If you're going to continue to do demos of the gx-100 how about some clean tones. Like to know how it sounds when trying to do the clean warm Fender/Dumble/Two rock kind of tones. Not ambient but really just amp/cab/reverb maybe a touch of delay.

[@deanallen927]

Forget the amp models for a minute. For us guys who love our real amps, do they have trails on the delays? Do the Rotaries have ramping?

[@richardbirch5744]

Hi John, now that you've lived with the GX100 for a while, what are your thoughts regarding tonal differences. Boss has made a big thing about its AIRD technology which combines amp & IR's and allegedly makes the GX100 sound and feel more like an amp through a cab. Whilst that's a convenient approach is that just marketing hype and is there any real difference as against Pod Go with a decent IR? I have a Pod Go currently so that above everything would be the key reason for me to buy a GX100. As you have both units I'd value your insights here (- oh, and like others have said you're a wonderful player! ) Thanks John

[@rolandoamado1459]

Great playing! Through my BOSE headphones, the GX100 sounds flatter. The algorithms in the POD Go are definitely superior

one thing that all line 6s have a defect from the first pod red bean xt x3 go helix etc is the sound of the hollow melody ... it always sounds muffled never clear as it should sound instead which on the Boss in general always sounds good even the old Boss models sound clear and empty like in a real amplifier. ditto Fractal has this flaw and that Headrush Eleven rack orange doesn't have because he too plays the empty me singing very clearly. ditto Kemper excellent . so after having had line 6 all the most important models, I understood this defect idem Fractal. in the studio, try to believe and then you can feel the defect of line 6 and Fractal under your fingers

[@doscheid]

People keep on saying "boss doesn't have snapshots" like line 6 is somehow better because of that. BUT boss has "assigns", which can be used in the exact same way as snapshots. And, as far as I understand, it woks in pedalboard mode - so you you can have, at the same time, some switches working as pedalboard and others in assigns (snapshot). Line 6 is either pedalboard or snapshot. In that regard, boss is better. And it has carryover for delays and reverb between presets.

[@rlevis501]

However, I would also say that when you press the buttons the Boss is very quiet, the Pod Go seems to beat on it with a hammer. The boss as a construction is not discussed, it looks like a tank, the pod go is somewhat "toy"

One point to note, is that the boss is useless if you want to change tunings. The pitch shifter in the line 6 is great if you want to drop down a couple of steps, say if you have some tunes in E and some in D and you only want to bring one guitar. The boss simply cannot do this. I tried. That aside, the Boss is a very nice unit.

[@surg20]

Uh. Yeah you can do that with the Boss. I have the GT-1000 and used the pitchshifter to do that. The GX-100 has a SRV preset already programmed in Eb using the pitchshifter because the SRV played in Eb. However, since I play in a cover band and have to play in multiple tunings and multiple presets for different songs, I ended having to get the Digitech Drop pedal that many other musicians in my area all started using also. You can't be on stage and trying to change the pitchshifter back and forth for three different presets like clean, rhythm or lead. I love my GT-1000 with a passion. Best money I ever spent in my life. I will say for the hobbiest the GX-100 is great but for a professional musician GT-1000 is a must if going with Boss.

Pod Go Sounds so much better to me sonically. I've got a pod go and it's awesome. Definitely Recommend it over the Boss. It's Helix Quality Tones so it's £1500 quality tones used, it's no drop in quality. I'd definitely go with the Pod Go Wireless Version. It's a brilliant bit of kit.

[@adityabali1939]

Eh… its all subjective at the end of the day. Me and my friend both got helix and now are stuck with a white elephant. All my sounds are lifeless (this is from both Helix native and HX stomp) We tried everything including purchasing patches from Jason Sadites, downloading free patches from Line 6 website, purchasing OwnHammer IRs, matching input impedance on the hardware corresponding to our pickups and finally getting external DI boxes… it just sounds dull and pick attack isn’t translating the dynamics as well. I tried a Boss GX-100 from another friend and tried my guitar (MIM Charvel with SD pickups) and I was sold. I have the GX-100 on order now. Great great sound through FRFR. Maybe Line 6 is exceptional for some people (maybe most) but I can’t justify the price tag of Helix when GX-100 does equally exceptional sound for half the price and has better dynamics control through AIRD amps. At the end of the day, sonic preference is neither right or wrong. It’s just preference. Most people prefer line 6 modelling but to me it sounds meh. STL tones, and Neural even ML Soundlab plugins sound better to me than Helix for both guitar and bass
