I created my Dream Quad Cortex Rig for Pop Punk and Alternative rock and once again I'm torn... I'm torn because after years of spending countless hours dialing in the sweet spot for my pedalboard & amp rig, I've now created a preset in the Quad Cortex that sounds nearly as good. But that's enough of me talking, you have to take a listen for yourself!
In this video, I'm peeling back the curtain on how I was able to re-create my go-to pop punk tones in the Quad Cortex, including sounds I got from pedals like the Jackson Audio Belle Starr, Sonicake Shark, Strymon Mobius, Strymon Timeline, Strymon Bigsky, and my Orange Micro Terror Head. I'll take you through the process of capturing that perfect big amp crunch tone and edge of breakup tone with Neural Capture as well as the process of dialing in the perfect set of stereo cabs . This was game changing- I've never heard my amp sound SO good!
Next, we'll take a deep dive into the overdrive and distortion FX I used and how I dialed them in to get Neural Captures that actually sounded how I wanted them to in the Quad Cortex. Finally, I'll take you through my process of re-creating the unrecreatable: Strymon Mobius, Timeline, and BigSky. We've got a killer chorus tone, hard cut tremolo, modulated tape-like delay, and of course, some good go-to reverb sounds to make your guitar sound HUGE. This preset is definitely one of my favorites I've ever made. It's so much fun to play through-
