Hey guys, so basically I put this comparison together after months of tweaking and experimenting on my POD HD and the Axe Fx II I'm babysitting for my friend.
This is by no mean a comparison between any specific amp/cab model. These are just the best high-gain patches I got out of both units and I can't decide which one to use on my upcoming EP.
All parameters on both patches are independent and nothing's matched. I like both tones for different reasons so help me decide!
Not gonna tell which tone is which for now but I guess it's rather obvious lol.
Any comment or suggestion is appreciated!:kickass:

The first tone has much more low end, it suits the material better. That being said i think the second one would sound cool as an affect, ex: solo'd guitars with some kind of phaser/flanger.
 
I'm voting for the first because it kind if sounds deeper and more "controlled" than the second one. Just my two cents!
 
First one has better note definition.
Second one could be POD, because I have HD500x and it sound familiar (I think it could sound better). If I'm mistaken POD HD for AXE-fx, than I'd be surprised in good way.
