Nice playing!

Met you at Welcome to the Farm Cleveland, I’m the sound engineer there. Glad to stumble on a tutorial from you haha

Looks like the capture in "US HRDX 1" is not available and marked as private. Is there a way to get this? I really want to try it out. Thanks for the presets!

Bro thanks for all of the Quad Cortex videos! I too am also a fellow Canadian, which is irrelevant to this comment, but wanted to slip that in there, and coming from using the Kemper for years.. but I've taken a music hiatus for a few years and looking to get back in. I love the sounds I can get out of the kemper with the clarity of dialing in individual string and pick sounds on the profiles (which is CRAZY) and so capable and I miss it BUT... the Cortex is so capable, user friendly, touch screened, sick looper, parallel rigs & inputs, and with the direct USB connection to my computer, I feel like I'd be an IDIOT to not go for this... I'm trying one out at L&M next week!

Put the preset on the cloud please

Nice review! What I'm very interested in: would the 10 inch FR-10 be able to make some serious clean noise in the practice room? Does anyone have experience with this?

Very useful, thanks so much, what a beautiful machine we have in our hands

So simple to understand and very clear - thank you

can you share this Preset?

@Dustyn Fink What did you like better this one or the Friedman?

@Dustyn Fink you didn’t mention in the video but since this is a reference speaker (& not a real cab) can you leave the cab section turned on in whatever you’re running through the speaker or do you have to turn the cab/ir off bc it will sound weird (like you’re playing through 2 cabs)? Also does it work the same with plugins (such as neural dsp) through an audio interface since there’s only 1 input in the friedman speaker? Bc I’m looking for something like this or a FRFR to play through with plugins on a laptop that doesn’t colour the sound like a traditional speaker cabinet would. But I want it to sound like a real cabinet is in the room with the ability to push air like one to get that feedback/sustain like Gary Moore (which isn’t possible with studio monitors) and have unlimited amplifier & cab/IR possibilities with the plugins I am using.

What’s it sound like if a band plays real music? Also, you’re using IEMs in a tiny club? lol. AND USING THE FR SPEAKER. Man, I don’t understand kids these days at all.

Mine is flashing at me and while I play it gets like a weak sound. Like the cable is kinda failing. And I see the blue light flashing at the same rate it’s failing or cutting in n out. any idea?

Hey, this is CTAB. Why you gotta play so good and make me look bad? Now i have to learn this solo.

Hmm the last two higher gain coming through that amp were super dark but the first couple sounded great

No need to go all over the fretboard! :(

How do you delete a splitter path?

What is the rode device clipped to your strap?

How do you get volume out of this thing?? I have my levels so they won't clip but playing through a cab it's so quiet

Omg. Gonna take longer to figure out this pedal than learning how to play guitar

This is just one of the items I do not understand on the QC. Questions: If I change the Global EQ on a specific preset-Does the Global EQ hold my changes for any/all presets or Scenes... or is it just per-Preset/Scene? Thanks for video-For me, I'll need to watch this again and then try making changes with the Global EQ to understand it. Truth be told, I do not understand/know which frequencies are Bass, Mid, High. The High Pass/Low pass filters are confusing for some reason.

Muito bom

No thanks! Total junk. I sold mine. To much BS to dial it in. And while playing , everything i thought i saved in it!. disappeared. FK this thing! Im sticking to real pedals! But best of luck to the new guys!👍 🎸

With anything digital it seems there is no way away from the input level debates. Why would it not be fixed at a level that simulates a real amplifier input level and the guitar should do the rest (i.e be higher or lower gain). There are no real amps where you trim your guitar output level to it's maximum volume (compared to other guitars) on the way in. Is this different than all the input gain discussions out there? ie th-cam.com/video/qECIigojlEg/w-d-xo.html. I notice in the video you increase the input gain, but then turn down the capture gain (probably because of the increased input gain)...

@2:13-That is the screen I wish I could find! I can not seem to get back to the Factory Presets folder-Clicking on that folder brings up nothing. I'm on 2.0.1

Great "Tone King" preset...can you share it?

Modern 24bit AD converters have reached a level of resolution that you don’t have to hit them hard. I’ve been running my QC so the input isn’t hitting the red at all.

Love that you first did a playtrough so i could see you will do a good video, and you did

Is this preset offered on the cloud?

Im trying to split the signals at the end of my chain to have a cab going left and the other one right, but I can’t seem to do so…

What's the best way to manage master output (volume knob) and output levels so that you have strong output without deafening yourself? My understanding is the volume knob should be as close to 100 as possible to maintain best signal to noise ratio, but if I do that I have to adjust preset output or I/O settings to like -20Db. Wouldn't that be a problem in a live scenario, or would the sound guy just bump up levels to compensate?

Good video and very interesting thoughts on QC.. Am I wrong or you mentioned the MX5 unit as previously owned? Do you think there is a big increase and improvement in terms of sounds and usability? (I currently own the MX5 and I'm thinking on buy QC)

Hello, does the FR10 could be sent directly to the mixer and do the job as personal monitoring on stage? kinda Modeler >FR10 > mixer > PA for people im a little bit new in the live gigs

Bla bla bla we heard nothing

Thank you. Very helpful

I like the way you fingered this. Made it a whole lot easier to play!!

I've considered getting the 12 you mentioned, but I'm murdering my live thing via my pair of 15's (2way P.A. cabs) behind me, sometimes I only use one in most situations, it sounds freaking amazing!! I have a very small mixer on a music stand in front of me with the added access to micro tweaking if needed, most times it's just perfect as I've tuned it as standard in most situations, I'm juicing mine via a Crown power amp parked in the background out of sight, man, it's so good it destroys 4x12 boutique rigs included honestly. I'm luckier than most for sure because I'm also utilising a pair of original BOSS FA-1 units in my signal chain for the magic-sauce factor....bloody sublime and glorious brother!!!...it's all about the balls man! that, and moving the air properly.

Do you suggest leaving the volume knob all the time at 100?

Thanks for the video, and nice playing on the gig portion of the video 👍🏻 I’m in the process of redoing my rig as I currently find myself “bandless” for the first time in a long time, and I’m a few years older than you (59 cough cough 🤦🏻‍♂️😆) and lugging around heavy amps is not fun anymore. I recently picked up a Tonex One that I will be using in conjunction with a few other pedals for a small board, but I’m gonna need something to put it all through. Amongst other things, I was looking at both the FR 10 and the FR 12. You just may have talked me into one of them. Thanks 😊

And you are so smooth with it, too! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dude.....do the rest....awsome outro

Great presets Dustyn! Thank you a lot!

What's the wireless system you use?

Vary cool mate, thanks for that!

Setting levels is the biggest issue with digital multi amp/fx/ do it all pre-sets… the only way is to play with your band and … trial and error, and at least the QC offers easy ‘in battle’ interface to tweak tone and volumes

Holy cow, does this ever make a difference! My In 1 Lvl was at 0, set it to +8 dB for my system and the amps seem much more lively.

Hi, could you demo the hold/freeze pedal in the Mx5, I can`t find any demo. Thanks

Just bought my Quad Cortex today and right out the box I am amazed. The Roland twin chorus, Marshall, and Red 5150. Just those 3 sounds without editing anything make this worth every dollar. I am floored how dynamic this is. It actually sounds like the best amp I use to own. The way the bass responds and digs in. I am floored. I can't believe how tight this is with ZERO NOISE. Shocking. I also bought the ToneXone pedal last month and they are worlds apart. The sound is there, but the soul is not. It still sounds like a solid state. The QC is something else entirely. I am very happy and cannot recommend people - no matter how long - save up and buy this. I used it as my interface for the hell of it and it is beautiful.

in my opinion this is useless due to the seamless changing between patches....

It's not really about clipping, the thing is to hit the front of the amp capture with the same level as if you plugged straight into the real thing, so 0db is where it's at. Unless you dont care about hitting your captures harder and getting more distortion from them of course.
