Not to mention that you can share that gear, in the form of a profile, with people who would otherwise not be able to afford or get their hands on said gear for themselves.

You can't, though. The pertinent Q is not "can i replace everything and make my life easier", it is: "who cares or can notice either way?" When you are limited to the characteristics of a single system/circuit/DSP, thinking that you are getting "every amp sound" out of said circuit is a mistake. You can imagine that you are "bringing the sound" of a 100W amp in DSP and shoving it through a line out or Deluxe Reverb or some other amp, but it should be obvious that it is not the same thing. FPGAs and advancing tech can be wonderful, yes - perhaps even transcendent of earlier paradigm(s) - but things are what they are, in the end.

How much is the quad cortex? Lol

Yeah.. but half the allure of expensive guitars is the feel in the players hands… which affects the way we play… That can’t be replaced by another piece of gear

Yeah I think many people are under the misconception that modeling vs profiling is a discussion of quality and not usage. A model is technically more accurate than a profile, but the process to create one is so intensive that you will only get the models that some company offers for you. For a beginner who's only owns a Boss Katana, this is perfect. But if you are a pro who owns some custom boutique amp that you can't replace and you are scared to bring it on tour after using it for your whole album in the studio, a profile is perfect. Essentially allows you to make a DIY model of your specific amp under your unique recording conditions. You can actually profile the amp while recording your album and get the exact same tone as you got in the studio live.

...and if you can, learn to DIY cables and circuits. It's almost criminal how simple some of these are vs. what we pay for them.

This was almost a haiku lol

Amen to that!

I hear you

Vibrolux has a speaker, what did you play the QC through?

He is literally a content marketing bot disguised as a human being selling you literally anything guitar related

@@torino1138 So than why are you here?

Literally why? I mean, he’s literally commenting on a literal literal literal video

It's called the 4 cable method. Yeah, so many options out there for "that perfect tone" I got a Bluguitar Mercury Amp1 and LOVE IT SO MUCH. I want to pair it with the UAFX Ox stomp. Any suggestions? Thanks.

@joelsmith4816 Hi Joel! No I didn't remember the name of it anymore, that's why I said multi cable, because I am aware of the 4 cable method. I've found the video and it's even a 12 cable method, due to stereo setup, midi and FoH. If you search for rabea massaad sweetwater quadcortex with amp, you will find the video. It's totally amazing what you can do with the QC. Don't know about your setup and the possibilities.

CorOS 3.0.0 should address that for you. Suppose to release sometime in the next couple months.

Fractal has the best sound in terms of latency cuz they use military grade Digital signal processors

Idk if it’s latency but more of a stiff feel and slightly weird sound artifacts on all of them. I have amps I worked hard for and want to enjoy them. I did give in and get the quad. It’s a keeper. Kemper and helix sold. Yamaha double modeler overlooked comes with its own power. Feels and sounds great. Footswitch and a few fx. $800 new.

Same here , i don't want option paralysis gear , the simpeler the better , i do have an fender tm dr wich for me is an ideal mix between analog looks and sounds and digital guts inside , in the end most guitarplayers use about 3-5 different sounds ( if you are playing in a pop /rock/ blues / soul coverband ) during a gig , so get an amp and some pedals and be done with that shit : ) . One off the perks of the tm dr is the fact it has an direct out and 3 ir's wich makes it really usefull for silent practise / recording / live gigs ect .

Hallelujah, someone has a clue :) If I may be so audacious to suggest that "tone" is about intervals (diaTONIC, triTONEs etc) in chords and scales.... and not sound character. _Two of shaft's hinty-hints for guitar-sanity and greater financial power:_ 1. Don't let idiot or even intelligent guitar players confuse you when they mean _timbre,_ and instead they say "tone". 2. Develop a reliable Bullshit Detector and decrease the risk of becoming a "tone lemming", it happens to the best of us and in more ways than one.

Or get a Modeller that has that integrated and costs half as much. The QC is cool, but it is clearly overhyped and overpriced.

​@@clouds5can you name a few you consider comparable to the QC but are cheaper?

​@@wormangel Depends on what you need. In terms of modelers the best price for your buck option would be the Valeton GP200. It's a fraction of the price, has an expression pedal, all the features you would need and it sounds amazing. But basically anything from Helix, Headrush, even Hotone or Mooer... Yeah they are not the big Name but they sound just as good and cost less and often offer more functionality. The tone part of modelers has really been figured out, they all sound great. What you spend extra on is the name and the user interface, like touchscreens etc. And that is not worth it to me. Because I usually build my tones in the PC software and then only do minor adjustments. (If you really need the tone capture you could add a Tone X and you are still spending way less money for the same functionality) Again, I think it really depends where you are coming from. I don't have big tube amps laying around and comparing modelers to those or trying to replace my analog gear. I have a great guitar and want an all in one solution for adding effects in a live situation and send it to the mixer. So I don't need the Marshall in my unit to sound exactly like a specific vintage Plexi others might own. I just need it to sound good. So if you have your amps and pedal board and looking for something to replace or add to that, you have a totally different perspective and need a different tool.

GOOD KID!!!! LOVE THAT BAND
