I didn't put to much effort in this but here it is:

you guys really think that? Myself I'm liking what I created with the Axe Fx more. Probably suits my mixing a lot better.

Ok, I listened for a third or fourth time now to make sure
Just the Recto clip alone with the HD has more definition and dynamics than the Axe Fx Recto clip to me. Seriously. I don't want to bash the Axe but it doesn't sound nearly as good as the Pod HD to me
Super Baby! Powerful enough to send sock flying off the table!!

To my ears the Axe-fx clips sounded closer to what the actual raw amp tones sound like. The HD sounded like it had a deeper eq happening and for the most part sounded pretty good. I think the both would sound pretty good in a mix, but the rawness of the Axe might sit a bit better.

Comparing cost the HD is a deal but I think I would only use the effects part of it. To me it is the upgrade to the M13 I was waiting for using up to 8 effects at a time as opposed to only 4 at a time. Even just for the effects it would be worth it and the exp pedal is built in so no trying to get a Boss FV500 pedal to sync up correctly with it. The Hd has a lot of cool features and has USB. This does give someone a lower cost unit to start with if they cant afford an Axe which I think is a great idea, even if it is a stepping stone for them towards the Axe.
The Axe sounds much better to me but is 3 times the cost but I really dont think these 2 units should be compared against each other as its like comparing Apple to Oranges. Now just add USB to the Ultra
There will always be people that dont like one or the other or either and put processors down, I would prefer to have every amp I gas for but I would need a warehouse just for that not including effects. I didnt want to like Processors but have given in. With all the advancements that have been done and it is only going to get better, it makes it easy to have all those amps and effect you always wanted.

To me it seems that they were not dialed in to sound like each other

I must be in the minority, but I thought the Axe crushed it....the only one on the HD i did like was the Fireball!

This. I think preferring the brighter POD tones is a matter of taste, but the "darker" Uber tone of the Axe Fx seems closer to the real thing imo, whereas with the POD the Uber sounds just like Recto eq-ed differently.

And as I said in the first post, these are all newly made presets from scratch. I have better sounding Axe presets around that works better for metal.

it really hard to tell at least for me for that type of music they both sound like any tone you could pull out of a ss Randall to be honest.
Where I can really tell is the cleans midgain and rythm crunch and hi gain .the clean clips .Some of the clean HD clips on TGP have been good I have yet to hear a Higain rythm sound that would rival the axe though
