Hate to butt-in but i was reading this thread for fun. You guys are taking it too seriously, tone down a bit. Both units are good. The Axe is going to be better, ok, more time and detail was put into it, but heck look at this, the Axe is 4 times the price (at least the ultra) and the POD HD sounds freaking great, i love mine to death. Who cares whats better, im not dissing anyone, no reason to get angry, none of us know each other personally (the majority of us dont) and theres really no point in fighting, you guys just sound like idiots complaining about this whole thing and going nuts on your computer. What society has come to really starts to scare me.
Now, if we can reasonably call off this war so we can talk about more useful things? =)

Ok i would like to see you come say that to my face.  Lets see you try, in person...

 

 

Wow, I think you’ve just impressed about zero people with that 5th grade comment. Get a grip dude, no one is going to take you seriously now.

I was going for an archaic word for "troll".  Kobold was suggested in the thesaurus.

Anyone can call other people names when hiding behind the security of their computer monitor many miles away. LOL. 

And yes - unwarranted name calling by you it certainly IS - as my posts were incorrectly framed as such by you....  so Im sorry to burst your bubble Mr. guitar modeling expert,  but a person is not considered a troll for merely just honestly responding to invalid comparisions of two units you and some others have made.  Please look up standard forum etiquette... but nice try either way!

And in addition, i would not rely on incomparable setups as you have shown in the rush picture to try to compare with  how I know Slayer does their set.

I know the sound of Heil mics on those exact cabs, ive known their the live setup well for over ten years and I also know from direct first hand knowledge of their setup in recent years - so nice try once again!

But actually please do keep trying your hilarious attempts - they are just funny to listen to at this point.

Because the exact reverese is true of your statement that i was acting pathetic as I have now shown that it is you who is acting very funny and clueless right now.

Good luck!

Hey look..a pic of FarBeyond3 trying to tell if the AXE really is better!

Wow.  Another insult.  Is the forum admins observing this?

Where did I even take a stab like that at anyone?

So is this what this society is about?   Someone starts being honest and they are criticized for making an honest assesement?   So then I assume you would would place more value falsehoods I guess??

oh wait,  thats right,  I forgot,  this was america.

The funny thing is I don't believe anyone actually disagrees with him that the Axe-FX is better, at least on some level, than the HD500.  What people disagreed with him on was his assertion that the HD500 is a toy or not capable of "professional" recordings (whatever the he** that means...).  I don't care what people like, but I do get tired of people trying to inflate their sense of self-worth by trying to cajole everyone into affirming how they spend their money.  I have nothing against the Axe-FX, but man, I get tired of people telling me I sound like crap without it.  Somehow, rock managed to survive for decades without this glorious device, and I think we'll be OK if we choose not to use it now.

I'm Canadian but I imagine I'm also tarnished by the wide brush due to geographic proximity.

Junior American!  I kid!  No, really, that was total /sarcasm

I live in Detroit so that proximity is a real blur zone here.  Ya'll make great neighbors.

This was an interesting post at first but I got to tell you its now totally out of control. These forums are for Line 6 discussions so I thought and not to bash each other. If you love your Axe XF then why are you here telling us how great it is? You should be at the Axe XF forums where you have so much in common with the AXE guys/girls.

I think its time for the mods to close this post down and lets get back to helping line 6 people with problems and talking about the great tones that are being made.

Just my 2 cents!

O by the way, HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all..........
