It was great hearing the story of your process in preparing for all of the unknowns and creating your tones. Would you consider doing an “after-the-mini-tour” video going through how your planning played out in reality? Or would that be too far off the path for your channel? It would be cool to hear what worked, what didn’t, and what you didn’t see coming. Cheers RJ!

Hey there, if you hold down the IN on the patch you are working on you can turn on a very good gate that’s baked into the input so you don’t need to use a block. I’ve been loving the QC.

I just messed with this last week using your studio chorus video. Going for that flesh for fantasy tone. Still a work in progress but I used line 1 and 2 and made that similar to what you did but I took off the delay and reverb. Then I used line 3 and 4 and split them and did the 9 cents up and 9 cents down and then panned one left and one right. Basically it's like a tri stereo chorus then but also like a wet and dry signal as well.

Sounds killer. Does the q.c. have spillover on the wet FX when you switch presets? I dont like the dropout on a big reverb during song transitions.

2nd! You should try the Neural DSP plugins as well - soon to be ported one by one onto Quad Cortex. I must say, after watching your vids, I also fell in love with 80's session tones. And you can definitely replicate it with the NDSP plugins, especially Archetype Petrucci and Archetype Plini! In Petrucci, I made two tones, based on Dann Huff instructional video - one Clean 80's "Jangle" tone and one Distorted with Chorus. Same with Plini, lots of possibilities and tools on board. Definitely try them out since, as I said, you will be able to use them on Quad Cortex - the Plini is to be ported 1st, suppoesedly within next months, with CorOS 3.0 release!

Love my quad Cortex… but…. For live I’ve run into issues with the switch spacings and angles. They’re just too darn close! I have pretty wide feet and it pisses me off more and more every time I use it. My previous rig was a Bradshaw rig with the RST switcher. Way better spacing and angle. I bought the quad cortex to save space but it turns out the bigger shit is better for ergonomics
@TheLoner70503 8 күн бұрын
It's weird for me how you put the EQ before the rest of the fx except Compressor, i use to put it on the end of the fx chain. Any special reason for that?

Ironically, not being an early adopter with gear is actually the best way to go. That's pretty much the case for every product in every product category. Kinks and bugs get worked out if you can wait a bit, features get added/refined due to feedback from all the early adopters. Plus, from RJ's perspective I would think as a youtuber, he gets to create new content later in the produc lifecycle that doesn't get lost in all the hype noise that accompanies new product releases these days. Plus RJ gets to hear and learn about the unit from all those other early vids. Those folks who complain about how hard it can be to dial in tones on strong modelers like the QC are totally wrong and missing out. As clearly evidenced here. This video from RJ unintentionally showcases just how easy it is to dial in even very specific tones on the QC, with almost no effort and almost no time at all Provided, of course, that one already has a tone target in their head and is already familiar with how effects and pedals work/work together. An unintentional tutorial for the superb QC! The QC is too much gear for my non-pro uses, but there's little question in my mind that Neural hit it out of the park with this unit. AWESOME, RJ! Long live the 80s! XD Have killer gigs brotha!
