if it was a $100 pedal, this wouldn’t even be a conversation.

I am a recent convert to quad, reluctantly moving from the Kemper about 2 months ago. My experience is limited and I did not want to spend a lot of valuable time experimenting, I really miss TJ’s 100 worship patches by the way. I bought the preset to help me serve the worship at church in a more sonically accomplished, professional and effective way- I can’t put a cost on this and although I am responsible for the sonic quality I produce, the quad is a great benefit. You can obviously be anointed without shelling out on kit. I agree with Jonathan’s reasoning - E Edwards is sharing an item that took a long time to curate having spent a very considerable amount on the hardware. The patch is premium quality and I am sure it will stand me in good stead over at least the next twelve months. I have no buyers regret at all

Rule of the Market: any given thing is worth the price people are willing to pay for it. Glad he is going for it, if he is making happy customers who are happy to pay the price, I think it's great. It's only bad if people buy it and then feel ripped off and are unhappy with the product they were sold.

E’s stuff is solid. He plays multiple genres and CAN do anything he wants. I think it’s cool that he’s bothered to share his setups, regardless of the cost. I’ll probably get a QC and buy his stuff.

So I bought it. Wasn't going to, but I kept listening to his demo video and loved the sounds. I didn't love it at first tbh, it was totally different to how I normally set my tone, and I don't typcically like the amp captures in the QC. I think the amp models with good IR's are better. But after a couple of weeks really getting to know the preset, here's my opinion. They're the *best* amp captures I've heard tried among all the captures I've tried. The drive captures are great. The real value for me came from how he set the wet effects. I'd like to think I've got a pretty good ear for wet effects. But, how he has dialed them in, and how everything works together so smoothy is just amazing. Yeah, $100 is a little steep. I've got other great sounding presets that I've made, and they're killer. But this one is just different and I've enjoyed it a ton.

Newsflash, even if you buy the tones, you’ll still sound like you ;) If you’re buying it because your getting captures of Amp X and Pedals X, Y, and Z then by all means load up, if you’re purchasing to “sound like guitarist X” you’re going to be sorely disappointed.

$100 dollars for a whole rig. Ready to go. Saves you hours of time and you don’t have to do anything but push a button. I say more than a fair deal. He could charge more

To me it is a lot to risk not liking it and then no going back. I can resell a pedal for 100. I can’t return a preset, at least I don’t see a money back guarantee in his offer. So tough to tell if it will work for you from a KZfaq. Love that you guys offer free stuff and has always made me more comfortable to know what I am getting.

I am pretty sure that there are thousands of "lazy" church players that are willing to pay that just to get a pro rig without the time effort, kinda plug and play.

The one thing the E Edwards preset has over others is it is fine tuned and field tested a lot live. A lot of people make presets and they require so much time and tweaking to get it to sound great live. Also most people who have been in the QC preset game stopped progressing the presets when the market place didn’t come out. E has been using it pretty much since it’s come out. I personally use my own preset with Tone Junkie captures, and it’s a lot of work to tweak everything just to get “my sound” out of it. Yes it’s not cheap but it’s not insane.

100 dollars to sound like him, who also uses hxstomp on his pedalboard??? I don't think it's necessary to spend that money for an all in one preset

IKM already put out the $100 packs (ODS Legends and Mesa Reference). ODS Legends is 20 captures and would have a pretty large audience. I've thought about releasing a smaller pack than that at the same price point but the draw is the amp is the best amp Ken Fischer ever built. Renting the amp for a day costs more than most boutique amps do to purchase outright and is in fact a very unique experience related to the sound and feel. It takes something very special to command that price and I'd imagine that the tolerance for it related to owners of a $1800 pedal is going to be higher than for most tones when someone is trying to get "that sound" every week to help replicate the rig. As HW points out, more people are trying to copy that every week than someone trying to be Slash in front of a crowd. Interesting in that ToneX takes a hefty investment in a computer and time to capture advanced captures, where QC doesn't.

A good preset is a good preset. I still play old Alex Strabala presets for my Helix even though he hasnt updated them for years and doesn't take advantage of new firmware benefits or the whole 'tone match IR' craze. Also, $100 to me, is different to anyone else. Just like buying a $1000+ guitar seems absurd to some, but 'affordable' to others. I don't own the preset or a QC, but if I did I would be considering it. I've had the Hislop stuff for the Helix and think its great. And these guys are touring the world, working with professional sound engineers, in a huge variety of venues, in a band mix, spending a lot of time working on their tone and setup. Sure, it won't make me sound identical to him, but I get the impression it would be a well set up rig. And sure, its not his full time job making content like this, so if he wants to cash in by charging more for less, I dont have an issue with it.

Weird example, Slash, Slash just got ramrodded after releasing a half stack for over 10 grand, no "preset" should ever be $100, its laughable. Just got done watching a video about helpless users who cannot program a thing and now we have $100 presets

Because of the weirdness of the QC market I don’t blame him at all. If this was the simplicity of selling a Helix patch I bet he wouldn’t go higher than $50. Don’t blame and would check it out if I had a QC. Dudes got a killer tone.

$100 is INSANE pricing. Specially considering it’s a worship music preset. It’s insane to be so overpriced. Nothing wrong with charging, but $100 for a preset is insane.

I think at the prosumer level or higher, that $100 is nothing. I bought Archetype Nolly from NDSP. I bought a preset pack at $60 just the other day. Why? Can I spend dozens (if not more) hours dialing it in? YES. Is it worth it when I have someone in the studio recording and they want to lay down a track in 10 seconds and I just have to click 3 times? YES. It's a workflow thing. If a person plays like 2 times a month at their church and not usually Elevation. That person is NOT the target audience. I cannot get mad a price of something if I am not the person the product is marketed towards.

If Dave mustaine presents was on store I'd pay for it

Willie Nelson pack 😂 Introducing the To Each Their Own pack.

I sat through this whole thing. So I have opinions despite this not being my genre. 1. You do you. If you want this spend the money if you have then money and want what's offered. 2. Just because you have this "rig" you won't sound like this guy since you are you. 3. I have bought very few non ToneJunkie packs. I have a large investment in Ownhammer IRs. I quit using them. The ToneJunkie ones and the stock ones for my platform fit my needs better these days. However I do not regret buying the IRs. They served me well when I was using them. So again you do you. I won't judge you.

His "Preset " Consists of 2 amps Jmod and Bandmaster, Stomp mode and 8 different scene mode presets that he specifically uses life. if i had a quad cortex - I would buy it, Think about the amount of Money us guitarists spend on Profiles, Captures, Effects looking for the "sound in our head - if his rig tone is what your looking for its worth every penny

$100 for the QC vs $30 for the Valeton GP-100…What’s worse?

This comes with amp and pedal captures as well. Just FYI. its not like a single preset for 100 dollars.

I think he has every right to charge as much as he wants. That being said, they only thing I think justifies that price is the relative rarity/expense of the JMOD. Personally, I would've priced it a little lower.

$100 is crazy. No one who buys it is going to sound anything like him. There are many top profile makers who make spot on artist specific profile packs, with anything from 10 to 30 profiles. Priced between $6 and $15. Now you have someone I have never heard of, charging $100 for one profile. I can recommend a good doctor for self delusional.

Why wouldn't you want to create your own sound? Even if you try to copy someone's sound your own creativity comes through in the sum of the variations in your settings. 100$ for a preset is a bit absurd to me.

Those are over $100 unless it’s Black Friday.

Doing the math looking at the amount of people he has friended on the cloud E has made close to 20k on this preset lol. Absurd.

I’ve spent over $100 just to grab IR’s from you and others so I can’t say much lol.

Always buy fireworks from the guy with the eyepatch and the three missing fingers 😉

Question: HW mentioned time tapping with delay. On kemper I can set up the bpm which changes the light and the rate it blinks, can you tap in quarter notes, but still have your delay parameters set up to a dotted 8th in the delay module? What would that sound like. (Gonna try this tomrrow myself actually!!)

Cicadas.

I watched this whole video and not even a demo?

To each his/her own.pay for what you want/need and move on. BUT IMHO, Can't beat the Snooze's Helix song/worship patches. Those patches made me buy a 2nd hand Helix floor.LOLOLOL!!!! HX stomp still on hand.

Hey SooZe did you get to play the Gretsch Gold/Black Falcon at Worship Tutorials??

It sounds like a modern day tactic of the old school i.e. Jim Baker, Jimmy Swaggart, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, name the money grabbing evangelist you prefer... Sounds like E is deliberately targeting the Sunday morning guitarist, who you guys established, and it's well known that many of these guys spend enormous amounts of money to play 4 songs on Sunday morning. It's sad in a way but brilliant in another. As a Christian guitarist I find it absurd though and hope he is putting his investment back in his church ministry.

Dollar to preset ratio? So stupid lol 😂 $100 is alright for his actual sound. I prefer coming up with my own sound but hey.. if you can’t afford it. Just shut it and move on 😅

Who''s 'E' lol? Every worship tone sounds like every other worship tone these days. It's the most boring thing ever.
