And this is why we all wanted Nate Navarro to demo this beast! Not only was his playing outstanding, as usual, but he covered exactly what most of us wanted to see. Thanks for the fantastic demo(you could've made it twice as long and it would've just been twice as awesome, ;-) )!
Thanks for this great video, Nate! I've been considering a Quad Cortex for a while. The recent updates and your demo, while you made it a couple of years ago, are what has sold me.
Unreal tool- so “want” is an understatement. This is what bassists needed and the technology is here. And your playing is quite awesome (serious ear candy- your tone and techniques killlllllllllllll!).
I swear to god you must be a species from another planet. Fantastic player, articulate and almost robotic when describing this pedal. Ive seen your other videos. Amazing! I have subscribed.
That's it! I am pulling the trigger on it and that's because of you and your fantastic demo man! I kept saying to myself that's completely overkill and I already have a full pedalboard with a hx stomp but it weighs more than 17 kg/~ 40lbs bulky and not that practical at all but Now!! I can have my amp+cab mod and all my pedals in one single enclosure ! I'm impressed and Sold 😃 thanks Nate! And thanks Neural DSP for providing us with such great products!
Well so far only distortions and overdrives and occasional fuzz but I do hope it can capture some of the other kinds of pedals so I can leave them in studio.
Great video. I am a newer Bass VI player(about a year, guitar for like 20 years) and this thing especially with new update is so freakin nice. I love air pushed from an amp but I also love traveling light. Haha. It’s uncanny how amazing this is.
DOOD!!! I so want one of these.. Kinda outta budget for me right now tho.. So maybe someday.. But something i can afford is subscribed to your channel Nate.. You my Bass Playn brother are a total Bad Ass on a Bass.. Its almost Ridiculous , lol ... I could watch and listen to you shred a Bass for hours.. You have truly earned my Respect as a Bass Player Nate.. I thank you for sharing you undeniable gift with the world.. Keep doing what you do, it makes people smile.. well i sure did at least.. And that's not a bad thing right.. Rock On my Bass Playn Brother!!! \m/ " " \m/
Orrrrrr.......hear me out. We buy this....go to a guitar store and ask to demo pedals but as we "demo," we take the Quad Cortex out and then capture the pedals and then put them back being like "nahh not interested."
That "Hysteria" preset was jaw-dropping. This is what happens when companies like Line 6 try to ride a product for 6 years or more... someone else comes along, and drinks their milkshake.
Man iam living in Germany i am looking always your video You play awesome. Thank you very much for guiding . This quad cortex iam trying to understand cool
Hi! Do you know if it's possible, when recording, to record clean from one output, and with effects from another output? Trying to explain a little better: from the same input, I would split the signal: one clean going from output 1, for example, to a preamp; the other one I would apply effects, and going from output 2 to another preamp. Is that possible? Thank you!
Nate Many thanks for the awesome vid I’m on the back order list at Sweetwater for the QC I’m also on the back order list for the Darkglass ADAM After watching this video, I’m canceling my back order for the ADAM The $500 usd I’ll save by not purchasing the ADAM, I’ll use towards buying the QC Yes it’s bookoo more bucks, but when your look into the infinite amount of things that the QC can accomplish, purchasing the QC is a no brainer I need to mention that I also watched your great video on the Darkglass ADAM Kindest regards Mike
LOL so you could literally go into a store and capture pedals haha. I had a HX Effects wasnt really getting the full use out of it. Right now Im using a Darkglass compressor Darkglass Vintage Microtube and Sans Amp. what is some good option to do rock or rockabilly also some funk like Family Affair Mary J blige? I know the sound im looking for but to get it is tricky
Nathan! Do you have any tips for how to make the double thumb technique less sound more even? Whenever I do it there's always such a heavy emphasis on the downstrokes, especially at higher tempos. Sick video and tones!
Thanks, man! Yeah, try these out: Experiment with different double thumb positions along the neck. I usually double thumb at the last couple frets so that the downstrokes and upstrokes both smack/snap the string against the frets with around the same intensity. Double thumbing over the neck pickup, and less often the bridge pickup, can give good results too, but usually less aggressive. Compression and/or distortion will help things sound bigger and more even.
@@NateNavarro Thanks so much! And for avoiding hitting the thicker strings on the upstroke, is it just a matter of good left hand muting, or should I adjust the angle of my stroke?
Very nice sounds. Did you have the same software revision as Paul Davids demo unit? His video shows big drop outs between patch changes (I know that is common on high end modellers). I'd like to hear if there are any dropouts when changing within a Scene. The Helix is very fast for Snapshot changes and so is the Axe3. For me that is the key as to whether it is usable live or not.
Doug made a statement on this , apparently that’s already been sorted out I.e drop outs in between patches . Apparently PD’s video was shot some time ago.
There’s also more stuff in that facebook group and on the discord server . Doug seems quite respondent in the discord and TGP. The thing I think is pretty relevant is that these bits of feedback the Paul David’s and Rhett Schull suggest are great for spotting over sights or suggestions a lot of us can agree with . I’m pretty confident the Feedback given is listened to and addressed in fixes and communication on or around issues. I know everyone wants a pristine unit that works without flaws but you need beta testers and reviews to find the issues or suggestions, support back ideas , and discover stuff that needs fixing . I wouldn’t be bothered if they shipped the unit now and they were expecting us to find issues . And I wouldn’t mind waiting either so a select few can beta test and bug find , I would support a delay for this very reason.
@@douglascastro320 cheers Doug.. thanks for clarifying . . To be honest I’m so used to using patches/presets to change settings I got used to to it. I have to say though on my mooer ge300 changing from one preset to next was pretty good , unless the preset was in a different bank . However I think the scenes mode will be exactly what I need to do in order to do what I’m doing presently ! Again thanks for the reply. Just proves my point that your very active in the community, it does make me ( and others) very confident through the support you give and will continue to give once the cortex is released .👍
Thanks for checking out my demo of the Quad Cortex!

I think this is the best demonstration of this product yet! You're awesome Nate!
@@robcruz8519 Thanks, Rob! Much appreciated. :)
This looks absolutely awesome!!!!!!
This is super cool thanks for another great video
Finally!! A bass demo for this game changing modeler. Thanks brother! Always smokin’!
And this is why we all wanted Nate Navarro to demo this beast! Not only was his playing outstanding, as usual, but he covered exactly what most of us wanted to see. Thanks for the fantastic demo(you could've made it twice as long and it would've just been twice as awesome, ;-) )!
Thank you! :)
Great playing, good sir!
For a bass player, I suppose. ;) Thanks Glenn!
Devin Townsend chose well. 😊
Glenn congratulating a Bass player, need to screen capture this.
Thanks for this great video, Nate! I've been considering a Quad Cortex for a while. The recent updates and your demo, while you made it a couple of years ago, are what has sold me.
Thanks a ton! I'm glad you found the demo helpful, and I really appreciate the tip. Enjoy your QC!
@@NateNavarro I received delivery of the QC yesterday and it's just awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. :)
Thank you fore this clear, and great presentation of the QC.The best I've seen for bass players till now 🙏
Unreal tool- so “want” is an understatement. This is what bassists needed and the technology is here. And your playing is quite awesome (serious ear candy- your tone and techniques killlllllllllllll!).
Expert and professional showcasing of tone setting and functions as usual. Definitely an all in one piece of gear. So many options built into one rig!
This thing is next level!!!
I couldn't tell if you were talking about the product or the playing lol
@@henrybangerter9710 I would say they're both next level for sure!
I swear to god you must be a species from another planet. Fantastic player, articulate and almost robotic when describing this pedal. Ive seen your other videos. Amazing! I have subscribed.
Nathan I totally dig that brand new Spector multi scale bass so sick
It's amazing how much effort you put in explaining the bass and gear u demo 👍
That's it! I am pulling the trigger on it and that's because of you and your fantastic demo man! I kept saying to myself that's completely overkill and I already have a full pedalboard with a hx stomp but it weighs more than 17 kg/~ 40lbs bulky and not that practical at all but Now!! I can have my amp+cab mod and all my pedals in one single enclosure ! I'm impressed and Sold 😃 thanks Nate! And thanks Neural DSP for providing us with such great products!
I love how this device has made it possible to bootleg pedals lol
Bruh for like 3 grande it does
For someone who works in a music shop, so do I. 👀
Well so far only distortions and overdrives and occasional fuzz but I do hope it can capture some of the other kinds of pedals so I can leave them in studio.
Thank you for the upload man. Seriously great to hear these pedals from a bass players perspective.
I wanna get my funk sounds to the next level
The last few days of QC videos have assured me I made the right choice in buying it. I can't wait to get it in the mail.
Great video. I am a newer Bass VI player(about a year, guitar for like 20 years) and this thing especially with new update is so freakin nice. I love air pushed from an amp but I also love traveling light. Haha. It’s uncanny how amazing this is.
The 1st 1 minute is enough! Thanks for showcasing non distortion capabilities using fishman fluence using Spector
Man that first piece in the opening demo needs to be longer. That was such a tease. Very cool short bit.
Exactly ! not a single dislike.
Appreciated Nate :)
Really well done demonstration. No muss, no fuss, just get right into it and explain what the unit can do and how.
I just checked the price, its more than my kidneys worth 🥵
You're right, neural capture is INSANE
Great demo! Thanks!
Really nicely done demo! Plus, no tacky big headphones or microphones in view (other youtubers take note) 😂 Thank you Sir 🤘🏼😊
Always time in my day to watch this channel.
Thank you for the simple explanations, can't wait to receive my Quad Cortex!
Love that riff on the big muff
Outstanding demo, Nathan!
This is a GREAT video!! Can’t wait for mine to arrive!
This looks pretty awesome. Great demo and playing as always!
Amazing playing and excellent review as always. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you make it easy to understand the QC!
I can't get it to work for me. I plug from bass to inputs 1 then from returns 1 to my amp. What am I missing?
Great demo as always! QC is impressive!

Nate, you've done it again! Amazing
That neural capture is just crazy
I'm going to the guitar store, buying capturing and returning every pedal they got
Haha! Sounds like a plan 👌
Orrrrrr.......hear me out. We buy this....go to a guitar store and ask to demo pedals but as we "demo," we take the Quad Cortex out and then capture the pedals and then put them back being like "nahh not interested."
@@robertf1309 can u just do it and upload captured pedals to torrent? XDD
@@Bestuszew We could potentially do that. But this way is funnier and more of a troll move
It's the pedal to end all pedals.
Damn, this is insane! Simple and easy to use!
Great demo, man!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Nathan
This is a beautiful piece of equipment.
Great review!!
That "Hysteria" preset was jaw-dropping. This is what happens when companies like Line 6 try to ride a product for 6 years or more... someone else comes along, and drinks their milkshake.
Now this is a review!!!
Great demo!
I have bee using the HX Stomp for about 2 years.. Love it. But this is interesting. I wonder how this Neural does ampeg B15 sounds.
Flip top 15 he showed it
PLC ladder programming on touch screen. Nice!
Man iam living in Germany i am looking always your video You play awesome. Thank you very much for guiding . This quad cortex iam trying to understand cool
Bro the neural capture wtffffffff
It really got me
Brooooo this was sick!!!

Sweet playing, holy shit. (sounds are awesome, too)
amazing , just the best ultimate pedal and amp
badass demo!
Thanks! :)
Thanks for putting out a bass specific demo of this! Can't wait to play it myself 🤘🏽
Only a machine could use this machine
This is the end.....my only friend the end......amazing piece of hardware.
Thanks greatly for this vid!!!
Waaw the funk filter
VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! I need one
you probably sold a ton of these to lot of bassists. awesome demo nathan, as usual
Fantastic possibilities!
subscribed after 20 seconds
I would love to see if QC can replicate Source Audio's foldback distortion like on the ultrawave or mulitwave distortion.
I've probably missed it in another video, but what's the deal with the thing on the upper horn of the natural finish bass?
Nate
Many thanks for the awesome vid
I’m on the back order list at Sweetwater for the QC
I’m also on the back order list for the Darkglass ADAM
After watching this video, I’m canceling my back order for the ADAM
The $500 usd I’ll save by not purchasing the ADAM, I’ll use towards buying the QC
Yes it’s bookoo more bucks, but when your look into the infinite amount of things that the QC can accomplish, purchasing the QC is a no brainer
I need to mention that I also watched your great video on the Darkglass ADAM
Kindest regards

When will you be sharing these presets Nate?!
What happens if you capture a capture?
Can't find the video looper switch !?
Perfectly presented as always. Any chance you would share those few presets you ran through with the jazz bass?
Good stuff and great demo play, I guess I will keep use my BNX or pandora.....
awesome stany funk bass line!
which column to use to play with a drummer ?
I was lowkey waiting for Nate to break out the ole drill...
very helpful!
Fantastic… Thanks for sharing..! 👍😊🍻🇺🇸
Thank you thank you thank you...
HEAD JUST EXPLODED!!!!!
this is how you demo new gear!!!!!!
Man those pedals make basses sound so damn good! Obviously I would just have it on a 👋 setting 😂
WOOOOOWWWW YOURE MY INSPIRATIO N
Me with the Quad Cortex in the nearest guitar center: Gotta catch 'em all!
Excelent video! Want to buy one but it's very f*cking expensive here in Brazil.
How future proof is this device? looks amazing
F**K the presets sound GOOD!!
VERY COOL !!!
I wish I had the tekkers to justify such a purchase - one day - ONE DAY
That price tag though 😲
So this is an amp modeler, a sampler and a multi fx box!! 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
Great demo, I have recently, maybe you could show how you set preset Metal Bass ADAM 2 ?:) I'll be grateful, probably not only me:)
With you chops you could cover Thank You Scientist. Great basslines and plenty of groove.
Love the ( Snaky) funky groove.. !!
Awesome pedal🤑

Can you plug one of these into a bass amp and use a guitar through it too…?…
Everything you show me is awesome and I want it all
Soo...basically Axe FX for Bass? Need this asap
This is for pretty much everything that can connect with a jack cable :) I bet it can run a whole band if the effects dont get too crazy.
+kemper. Let’s not forget capturing is perhaps the flagship feature of this unit.
@@GoudVis56667 or XLR, even the singer can use the QC for compression, delay and reverb!
@@GoudVis56667 2 inputs means only 2 at a time but for recording absolutely..
@@josuastangl7140 also built in mic preamp and phantom power.. yes..
awesome!!!!! maybe you could do disco ulysses by vulfpeck sometime
Great video. I hear something about glitches or dropouts when switching between presets. Have you experienced that?
