Pod hd 500x or hotone ampero one?

[Alex4bass]

Hi! Im in a great doubt about what multi buy between this two. My budget doesnt allow me to go for hx stomp or pod go and I dont like very much zoom b3 or boss gt1b. Gonna play it throght a warwick head and a 15 Eden.
What do you would choose?
Thanks in advance!

500x is rather old tech at this point. Hotone is at least newer. Check video reviews on the Ampero and see if it will do what you are envisioning. That said, I was very happy with both a Zoom B3n and the Boss GT-1b (still have this one for small portable practice rig) until I was able to step up into the HX Stomp. What didn't you like about these two?

Just read up on the Ampero One. If that's within your budget, I would definitely choose that over the Pod hd 500x.

So I tried both and they sound like a metallic box, cant explain well but didnt like then. My old x3 live sounded warmer.

as far as the hd500x goes, you can't really rely on the factory presets. they are abysmal. it is a very capable unit, but I do agree, it is older tech and processing power in more compact units has far exceeded it.
