I watch a lot of guitar channels on RUclips. So much so that I'm starting to get idea's for their video's. Like I want Ryan to do a video in which he tunes all his guitars. Without using time lapse. Live, so we can all tune along at the same time. I want JHS to dedicate a full episode on all their pedal boxes. No...lets change that in a series, they have enough for 3 seasons on Netflix and I'll enjoy every minute of that. I would like Trogly to make a video in which he puts guitars back into the boxes. I would like Leland Sklar do a video about a songwriter he worked for that really sucked. I like to hear some stories about untalented nitwits from the '70s as well. A Rick Beato video in which he reads out all the discount codes of the last 5 years. A 5 Watt World short history about a brand new guitar. Or any other short history that would actually be short. A Marty Schwartz tutorial that wouldn't require wearing a hat. A Sophie Loyd video that would require wearing a hat. Or any other clothes. So I don't feel like the dirty old man I have become when I watch her play. A Henning video that is shot in Steve's house with Steve's lighting and Steve's single pixel camera. His face of dispair not being able to use his 1000-camera-studio would be very entertaining. (Isn't there a way to get Marty to send his hat to Henning who obviously needs it a lot more?) A Paul Davids video with a top 5 of things you shouldn't make a top 5 video of. A Know Your Gear episode that only features gear Phil has never even heard of. A Stew Mac video in which Dan Earlewine assembles an Ikea closet. (And takes 2 weeks to do it, just like the rest of us) A Darrel Braun video that is in English. A Brad Angrove video that is in English. (One that includes the tip that Marty needs better protective gear than just a hat.) A Gibson TV/ 5 Watt World collab; 'A short history of all the people we sued.' That would have to result in a daily soap if we want the complete list. A Phil O sophical video of Phil X asking himself 'Phil Y?'
That Pedal Show video with Mick talking only about modern guitars and MIDI, and Dan trying to remember Marshall Amps names Friday Fretworks with Chris Buck playing an every-note-pick-attack solo Agufish speaking english without using rethorical questions intonation Pete Thorn sounding bad.

GREAT VIDEO!! You have a great knack for explaining product for us newbies. It really makes me think more thoughtfully about purchase decisions. Just want you to know ne you are my favorite channel I follow. Justin Johnson's guitar channel came in 2nd and Dillion Talks Tone 3rd. Please keep doing what you do. I was so bummed no live podcast last night.
LOVE the PodGo! Just don't say it sounds just like a Helix (which it does) but had a subscriber tear me 7 new asses for saying it does sound as good (and again, it does)
Just sold my Helix floor. It was too much gobbly gook for my needs. The Pod Go is arriving tomorrow and am ready to dig in to a more simplified user interface that sounds the same.
Owned the HX Stomp for 5 months and just sold it and upgraded to the PodGo. For my purposes, which is just trying to find an all in one pedal to gig with, the PodGo is superior and cheaper. Yes, you miss out on some DSP and can overload your modules/pedals with processing and have to limit your choices, but really, it's unbelievable tone and it includes a wah pedal. No brainer for me.
Pod Go IS a great piece of Kit. But, I ultimately went with the Stomp for my small rig (Big rig is an Axe FX II Mk2, Matrix amp, rack mixer, Xitone 2x12) because of the greater versatility and It is an actual Helix product. We KNOW Line 6 keeps upgrading all the Helix family, including the Stomp. The Pod Go? Yet to be seen. That was my fear on it.
I couldn’t decide which small differences I needed! So why not just own both, I have a helix too, and a Kemper and a neural dip so just keep adding to your collection! It’s what I do!!!! Lol Each piece of gear is a tool, and each tool has a specific purpose, so learn what you need!
Hey, Ryan. I've got Hx stomp, empress germ drive overdrive (35mah) and tc spark booster (40 mah). And I've got powerbank 20000mah. How can I power it? I've heard about Ripcord 9v converter from myvolts, have you tested it?
you can get more creative with the signal path of the stomp and its obviously pedalboard friendly. The pod go is meant to be my entry level friendly and give people the core elements of what they need for live performance
I think if i get one will be line 6 pod go i'm old school basic plug n play,i don't want to spend all day diggin in a sofware seting's and wear stuff.i better spend time playing.cheers
Thanks! I'm searching for tools that allow expression of multiple pedals and parameters...things I can't do with my physical pedal board. If the HX Stomp can integrate pedals/effects like what I saw the POD GO do in this video, into one composit pedal/effect, then I can easily insert it in my pedal board set up.
line 6 pod go seems like it would be easier for a novice like me. New to multi-fx pedals and doesn't have a unlimited budget to buy as many pedals as needed. line 6 pod go is probably going to be my next pedal purchase.
@@themodernpedalplayer6622 true! But depends..If you dont need ampmoddeling and DO need a switcher for your pedalboard with multieffects..the Boss MS3 is great as well.
The Stomp is the way to go if you are in a country where the price is comparable between Stomp and PodGo. It gives you more sonic options and logistically provides a better pedalboard option for integrating with other pedals. The Go is a less practical option on a board and I guess it is for those seeking an all in one option or with a couple of extra pedals. I have a bunch of decent delay and reverb pedals I needed to integrate with the Stomp rather than make them obsolete. The Stomp is a neat solution in that regard although I did think hard about the PodGo before making my decision. The parallel paths on the Stomp ultimately made my mind up.
Is that a new harmony in that champagne color to your top left? I wanted to get one of those so bad because a harmony was my starter guitar and when I saw they were coming back I wanted one. Then I realized I was priced out of that boutique experience lol
I fixed your likes, sitting at 199. You're welcome. Have a great time Ryan. Pick and grin! No, I'm not jealous, I just simply wish I had someone in my life when I was young who tried to help me play anything. I can beat a stranger into my house with one of them and there are many, but I can't make them create music, yet. I will not give up! You keep killing it and I'll keep trying, deal?
I enjoyed it brother and I think both are nice. Yes you can dive into it all day like you said. I like the things you’ve came up with. Kind of makes me want to try one again! I had an old multi effects processor years ago. Kind of thinking about diving into it again when I’ve got the extra.
Hi Ryan, did you try to add a second expression pedal to see if you can change for example the depth and speed of a tremolo while moving them both at the same time with both your feet?
Can i record directly to q PC ? I'm super noob so I'm lost I don't know if I should skip this and get the helix lt, or I can save more than half the price and still get a decent and flexible product. I have never and probably never will be gigging or playing seriously its just my personal free time hobby
What are the shortcomings for a novice player that just wants to plug it in, and play, and maybe record. Compared to a Helix Lt? I think I will never gonna need dual or stereo set ups, I just want it to work and record. What I am missing with this?
I would have loved to see some impulse response. I am still trying to find the Gallien Krueger 250 sound, I really wonder how it sound on these units. Thanks again for the video.
Just ordered a pod Go thanks to your demo. How are you assigning the treadle to the different effects? From all the other demos it seemed like they were saying it had to be wah or volume.
so when you look at the parameters for each knob under the screen, hold down the knob and it will go into a control options window for that parameter. You can literally control anything with the exp pedal. You can even set it to scroll through cab sims, lol. The trick is that exp1 will always be locked to the wah as well, so you have to turn the mix all the way down on the wah if you dont want wah. I I figure if you are doing wacky exp stuff you probably are fine without wah on that patch, or a blend of wah anyways.
Hey Ryan, I was just curious how good the headphone out sounds? I've got another baby on the way and am going to be looking for a way to play through headphones without it sounding like total garbage. Thanks in advance !
Hey Kyle, I used the headphone out with my ATH M50xs and it sounds great. Created a few patches in my apartment this way after work. I bartend and get done late at night. This is perfect for being quiet.
it really does seem like a good value for the money. I would probably not like the limiting nature of the pod, but it looks great for entry level guitar players. Nice review!
It's weird, almost every comparison video is the pod go vs the hx stomp. Where as I'm more interested in hx effects vs pod go. That's what I'm trying to decide between.
@@60CycleHumcast it's fine. I was just making an observation because if you search "pod go vs hx effects" 4 of the the 5 top videos are pod go vs hx stop, the only outlier being Henning comparing it to the full helix. It was almost line 6 sent a memo to creaters saying we want y'all to compare these two.
@@60CycleHumcast I had an M5 as well and had to sell it because the user presets would sporadically change or delete themselves. HX series changed my opinion on Line6.
Steven, basically the HX FX is only for effects. Obviously. It doesn't contain amp models or cabinets, so you can focus all of the DSP of the unit into effects boxes. As far as I know, the effects units offered in the PodGo are the same? (don't quote me on that) But at least for the ones offered in PodGo, the sound is the same for the units that are parallelled between both units. What you run into on the podGo is DSP issues. So if you're only going for top notch modelled effects, you're going to run out of DSP with the podgo. But for lighter usage effects, like the built in line 6 effects (from their DDx lines), then you'll be fine. I would think twice about going for the Go if you're not looking for amp or cab emulation. I feel like that's a huge reason to get the Go. If you already have an amp you love and want the most DSP for an AIO fx box, then maybe check the HX FX.
I’ve just bought this pedal but after watching this, it’s made me concerned that it might just be a gimmick pedal with ridiculous tones which are hardly ever useful... worried now it won’t complement my amp and will be a pain to get the tones I want. Those sounds were sounding so digital it was painful. I have a Marshall JVM Combo and wanted this to complement, might have made a mistake.
You did not make a mistake. They made the POD Go for a reason. Its an all in one device meant to do 99% of what musicians do on a daily basis. If you want to spend an additional $200 bucks for 1% of something you may never use then go ahead. But really if you want to go up from the POD Go then you should be thinking about the Helix LT. They come up with some good buys used on reverb.com
Regarding the battery you use to power the HX Stomp: what are the specs of the battery and how long will it power the HX Stomp? The power jack on the HX Stomp says "9VDC 3A", which would be 27 watts. That's a lot. I wouldn't think the battery would last very long.
I use the stomp to film all my namm videos. It takes about 20 minutes to film a video and on average I was filming 15 a day. So thats 5 hours of play time a day? the battery wouldn't be completely drained by the end of the day, probably about 2/3rds. So I'm sure i could get 6-7 hours of play time off the battery. This is the battery I use. amzn.to/3gaZ8nx
@@60CycleHumcast Thank you. That's interesting. The battery says it's max output is 5VDC 2.4A = 12 watts. I'm surprised it works--5 volts when the HX Stomp wants 9 volts. The HX Stomp is adapting to that somehow. Have you noticed any reduction in functionality in the HX Stomp? Fewer effects allowed, for example?
Gregory Holmberg Gregory Holmberg the adaptor I use converts 5v to 9v and provides 1000 Ma. Some people have measured and found that the stomp only needs around 850 Ma to operate. I haven’t seen any loss of functionality .
According to your analogy then tube amps would also be. Please understand "IT IS NOT GEAR, BUT YOUR SKILLS, WHAT MATTERS. How many idiots buy a Kemper or an Ax FX lll and don't even know how to tune the guitar, but they believe that without these products they will never be able to sound professional.

Please upload these crazy presets so we can download them!!
Depends on what you're doing. Playing live, the Pod Go. No decision to make.
I sold my HX stomp. Bought a headrush and the pod go. Can't beat for live . Versatile gear.
