For the last 7 years I had POD X3 Live,POD HD500 and 'till few days ago the POD HD500X for the last 3 years. I had also the whole Dream Rig by Line 6 for period of 3 years (DT50 Amp,POD HD500X and JTV59 Variax guitar). For all this time I was trying to get as much as I can a warm and good sounding tones out of the POD,but without success.I'm a tube amp lover and I always have been plaing with tube amp on stage,but some times we had to make a compromise :-) Few days ago I just decided to give a chance to Boss GT-100 and I've watched almost all reviews in YouTube and I read a lot of information in some forums about the GT-100.The problem was,that I was hearing realy good sound of GT-100 on YouTube demos,but in most forums big Line 6 fans (I guess ;-) ) were talking absolute nonsense about the GT-100.That's why I decided to make this video,because in my opinion the Boss GT-100 is very underestimated! I own it since 5 days and I do not seem to know many things about the unit,but I instantly understood (when I played through GT-100),that I've lost all my time trying to get the sound I needed out of the Line 6 units. I'm talking about,dynamics,responce to playing,the sound quality,all FX and so on and so on... I've tried it with the 4CM with my Tube amp as well and the results were outstanding nothing to do with the POD HD500X! In my opinion POD HD500X sounds more like a very compressed mp3 audio and the Boss GT-100 as a very rich uncompressed wav file ;-) Please keep in mind,that when you watch the video you get information only about the sound difference between the two units,but you have to play through both to be able to really feel the difference! The GT-100 feels and respond almost like an real amp,but I can't say the same for the POD! ;-) The guitar used for the video is my James Taylor JTV-59 Variax guitar by Line 6 and I used only the passive pickups except for the acoustic sounds (last two songs). The pickups are ''Stag Mag'' by Seymour Duncan on neck position and ''Crunch Lab'' by DiMarzio on bridge. I also have split switches for both pickups. The intro song is called 'Highlander Boogie' by the band Hellecasters All the sounds are straight recorded through USB and no post editing were made! All song motives in this video are cover versions! You could Download the presets here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k1Mg...
