For this example/patch comparison....I dig the the POD.

One of the things that really sold me on teh Axe was the dynamic response. Any of the other modelers that I've tried could get some great base tones but none of them had the same amp-like response and feel that the Axe has IMO. Does the new POD unit have that going for it?
Cool to know. Since the Axe models circuits and not tones, I would guess that you're correct.Variable":26e5i0f1 said:Also, I feel the need to point out that the Axe's "Recto New" and the HD500's Recto, while both modeling the 3-channel version's Red channel in Modern mode, are not the same since Line 6 used the Recto FX loop boost trick when modeling it. No idea if Cliff did the same thing, though I suspect he didn't for the sake of "authenticity".

I'm glad someone else noticed that fizziness, I started to think I was crazy since people are saying it sounds better then the Axe FX. That high-end buzz is so grating and annoying! It might be fine in a mix though, but going by these videos, I wouldn't even consider the POD HD for myself.Motorpud":1try4o2u said:I hear some kind of buzzy, or fizzy element to it that seems to happen with all of their stuff, kind of hard to describe.
There is a fizziness that I don't like from both of them.Dehumanize":1n5j00zm said:I'm glad someone else noticed that fizziness, I started to think I was crazy since people are saying it sounds better then the Axe FX.
