If you missed it, here is the MG30 v POD GO chug battle kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqlyatWH0LWufIk.html

I absolutely love how you take the time to explain things. I am brand new to this digital stuff and I know the vast majority of your viewers already know terms like IR and DSP, but newbies like me appreciate the time you take to explain stuff like that. Thanks!

Both are great units! my choice was mx5 because of the quality of amps and dsp power! Great video as always Taylor!

Amazing demo track as usual! It's funny because i often feel like some other Guitar KZfaqrs i watch have demo tracks as good as yours, even though their review content is stellar... yours still comes out on top because of the extra effort to make awesome demo tracks

Seemed like the PodGo sounded a little bit better in the mix but certainly both could be made to sound as intended. MX5 seems like a solid little fly rig

Awesome riffs at the end! MX5 is next on my list to check out now!

I'm currently gigging with a pod go and an FR speaker. Love it.

I have both. The MX5 kills the pod go as far as "real amp sound and feel" The pod has less bottom girth and higher top end fizz. Also its takes some time getting used to the MX5 as far as getting tones.Where as the pod go is pretty much like its title. I actually bought some tone's from Choptones to get the initial concept (as they use EQ's to really shape the tone not all know how to do this especially beginners) from there the headrush is absolutely killer. I play live with it (well the pedalboard version) as lugging around my tube amp and stack just doesn't do it anymore for me. a couple of FRFR's and the headrush...badass brutality!

MX5 is much warmer. I think it will suit me more since the Gigging situation in my country depends on the venue equipment. We usually don't bring our own amps.

I definitely like the Line 6 more. Both sound good though!

Im hearing the hizz of the pod go more.

Shouldn’t you use the IR in each unit to test the sample rate and how that effects potential IR’s?

MX5 sounds more organic and warm to my ears

I dug the Pod Go out of this battle. 🤘

Dude the demo is sooo heavy! I have both of these and love both of them. \m/

I use a pod to go through a Power Amp and 412. It does sound pretty good, but there is always a high-end fizz that's pretty annoying. I also have a brand new v30 in the top of my cab, so I'm sure that isn't helping. Even with an 8k high cut. Anything more than that completely kills your top end. I've had it for about a year and just recently was able to dial in a tone im happy with. I also didn't really understand parameters and eqs aside from the amp eq. Also, I wish they'd update it more often. I think we've had 1 since it was released. Never felt limited with DSP.

mx5 sounds like it has a blanket on it. i wasnt really expecting them to sound that different.

Pod Go Kills everything on that rage of price. Yeah DSP has some limitations but the last firmware update give you so much options. And recently discovered that parametric EQ can become a very powerful tool to modeling sounds and get tones that blowing your mind. Actually I see you on a couple of vídeos really enjoying it. Love your playing and that guitar it's like huracane!!

Are you running the cabinet straight into the pod go ?

How many poor souls have you sent to the under-realm with that axe!?

Dude it sounds like the Headrush has a shit ton more boosted mids during the demo.

I saw you were going for the Quad Cortex Rotary switches when dialing in the Headrush 😅 it’s such a natural UI on it. AMD we want a demo of that darkglass microtubes amp if i spotted that one correctly in the background. Of course it’s nothing else than awesome coming from the same guy who started neural dsp ;)

POD Obviously sounds more defined, but I'm SO sketched out by Line 6, bad experiences as they definitely make some Junk! But Head Rush sounds muddy....but the touch screen is Awesome.

Pod Go has more bite in the mix. The MX5 sound a bit muffled and further back in the mix on my speakers.

MX5 for the win !! Great video

Headrush kills …I use it in front of two peavey pvxp15s powered speakers frs ..I also have pod go wireless hands down I use my HR for mee tone ..schecter damien 7 string …bad ass …put love pod go effects and use it to record Logic Pro …just ordered 5150 stealth let see how goes as always great video always get so much out of your broadcasts …thanks man

The Mx5 you can download more amps and cabs and IR's there's lots out there.

La dinámica, el ataque de la pick, en la podGo son increíbles.

the pod go has a brighter sound on the chug that gives it a sharper tone.

Prefer the Headrush...that's only because I own one. Both sounded awesome.

the Pod sounds better to me, but maybe im biased because I own one.

I love the mx5's form factor. it's very small and light. I've experienced big and bulky multifx units and it's pain to move around.

Still undecided but GREAT video tysm. Instant subscribe

cual comprarias tu ! y porque saludos!

Currently I have the Mooer GE200, but it's definitely lacking when it comes to metal... Is the MX5 considerably better in that department?

I own the POD go, so a little biased, but I still like the sound of the POD over the MX 5.🤘

I own both and I can say that I like the Pod Go better for 2 reasons... 1 - With the Pod Go, I can edit on my PC and not be hunched over a unit trying to dial in my sound. Touch screens are nice to have, but for the size of the screen, it's not worth it. 2 - The Headrush needs to be properly shut down like a computer, or else you risk corruption or bricking your device. Not the best of scenarios in the case of abrupt power loss.

I live and die by my Pod Go, btw have you tried the HM2 on it? Should do a review on that vs the real thing. And have you checked out the new Orange amp on it? The dirty channel

Oh they are so close. Some of the pod tones sit in the mix a little nicer, but the mx5 sounds deeper in the low end. It’s really too close for me to really pick it apart though because just when I’m liking the pod more it switches to the mx5 and I hear something that stands out a little more. I don’t think anyone could go wrong with either unit. The pod has 1 up in the switching department with more switches and dedicated bank up/down switches.

I’d love the PodGo’s software in the Mx5 unit with the MX5 Ul. I had the Go and I was surprised it sounded better to me; a little more low end to the tones or something.

headrush so good sounds... more open and 3D sounds

Both sounded great. I'd go Pod Go because it has more amps/pedals.

Great video, mixed reviews on hi gain tones, doesn't seem to be a problem for you though?

That unholy Blackened Death Metal demo is a virtue in its own right. I am quite impressed by how the MX5 holds ground. While I favour the POD Go, I’m not too keen on the DSP limitation. In general I recommend finding a used deal on the Helix LT for some additional money.

It’s no different than a car, drive the one you want to drive, it’s your money at the end of the day.

I sold my podgo and went with Mooer ge300 lite I couldn't be happier.

cant decide between the two or even spending more for the headrush pedalboard. i fear missing pedal buttons on the mx5 but like that it has more dsp power than the line6. :/

Headrush all the way!🚀

I have been looking at both of these units for a couple of weeks now because i do not have a store that i can try them out. which would be better in an apartment the mx5 with a frfr speaker or a small tube amp?? with a speaker would i still have that amp type feel? which has better quality marhsall dsl5 or mx5/podgo???

I just got an MX5 and although its great at modelling perfect amp sounds seems like it has got serious problem while chugging. Sounds like a dead fish to me, not sure what am I doing wrong, migh try some IR but not sure if the will help

Most of the tone comes from the cab modeling / IR. If you using an external IR, your leaving out the most important part of these units...

Great playing- both sound 👍 I give the nod to mx5

I always feel that I can trust more on the Line 6 modelling algorithm I know that 99% of the time it sounds nearly identical to the real thing.

That guitar looks like a weapon. So cool.

Are there any systems like this I can four cable method then initiate a bypass that turns it off so I can use my amps sounds then switch back to the effects?? Where I do not have to keep pulling wires and putting back, this seems to be lacking in these systems was told the pod go did this bought it then sold it as it did not. Some clever boffin out there must have designed a system to do this

The amount of discontinued products Line 6 has on their site scared me off from buying Pod Go. Plus the DSP limitation. Not sure of the life span of Pod Go considering it’s a couple years old. I wonder if they support all the old products still?

Both units sound great, considering the price point. The pod go has some fizz in the high end which doesnt appeal to my ear. Although it's really old by know and not really a multieffect unit i love the high gain sounds of the dv mark multiamp. You just have to treat it like a Real amp with a guitar cab and not a frfr cab. So i love the blended sounds of the multiamp with the mx5 in a Mix. Great Video!

Wow man. Great video!

Can I use tone examples people have presented on an older headrush pedalboard and put them on an mx5 headrush?

Excelente, era lo que necesitaba para decir me...

Is it possible to create a work around to go from gain to clean and vice versa in the POD so you don’t have to expend a block on a gain pedal? In a live setting…

Wow, the headrush kicked the pod go's ass imo

Ssup Can you make stereo presets with the mx5?

Taylor, what are you using for drums? They sound MASSIVE!

I would buy Headrush but they do not have PC software for editing presets. Thats a biggest problem

До лампы оба не дотягивают, но мх5 больше понравился

Pod sounds more open on the top end. HR sounds a bit muddy. At least here.

What guitar is that? Thanks

they both sound good! but that demo track was soooo sick bro!!!!!!!

Does the mx5 go well with tube amp with 4cm?

I’ve been through many of the pod line, and they all have this high end fizz sound that I can never seem to get to go away, trying my luck with the mx5, have it sitting in my room, just haven’t had the time, I really want to spend a few hours messing with it and checking out some tone packs online

I’m liking the POD Go, better.

The big problem with the DSP limitations you've found in the Pod Go is that you've chosen the most DSP-consuming amp to start with! The VH4 lead eats almost 44% of the dsp, while choosing the Revv model, for example, would give you 8% dsp more...

That MX5 sounds like a Peavey practice amp .

Taylor looks like my sister but with less facial hair

I Love It This Chugg Battle... T.D Please Make One Best I.R N Share Too Me

I'm between these two, i kinda leaned towards the mx5 (because of the dual amp thing and the size) but the line6 sounds a liiiiiiiiittle cleaner, at least to my ears..? Anyway, the diffs are small.. Thank you for this great video! Happy holidays!

I think the mx5 wins hear it sounds so much better.

Pod go sounds more mixed ready for use

Mx5 is nice, but it’s noise gate is not that well implemented. You have only 2 options: 1.no sustain 2. a lot of noise

headrush products are orphaned quickly- they took away tone sharing for pedalboard gigboard

Mx5 🏆 wins.. more accurate..the pod go thing.. is like an abomination, the response of line6 to the lack of cpu. Release the new helix!!!

For my ears pod go wins against headrush mx5 but not against nux mg30.

How in the world did they release a modeler in this day and age which has no external editing software???

Stop pointing at me :[

and you think you play music ???????? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !

I've got both and it's hard because there's tradeoffs on each. I like the sounds of the MX5 better. To me it sounds more natural for the most part... to my ears at least. And I prefer the expanded DSP. But it's so small. I like having all of the switches and the full size pedal. On the other hand, I personally think the Pod Go is more of a pain to navigate. The touchscreen is really what sold me on the MX5. It's so much quicker to create a patch without having to push this button, or press these 2 buttons together, or turn this knob or that one. But then I like all of the crazy amp and effects options on the Pod... really hoping for more updates on the MX5 to bring it up to speed. So it's hard to choose a favorite, but if you twisted my arm I'd probably go with MX5 for ease of use, and sound quality...

I think the mx5 wins hear it sounds so much better.
