The capture sounds identical to me, that Quad cortex is an impressive piece of work. Your channel is one of the best guitar channel out there and you deserve more subscribers. I'm really enjoying your videos.
just wanted to say that in my opinion you have the best guitar tones on youtube, it’s amazing how good it sounds in every video you make. Clean tones and distorted tones, all sound so good. Love the quad cortex vids! Planning on buying one so it’s super helpful :) ps. your playing is ofc super awesome as well
Wow the capture was really good. Great sounding amp! I'm not really sure about the model comparison though. It seemed the real amp was noticably louder, so loudness bias is a factor when trying to subjectively judge it.
The comparisons of the capture to the real thing always impresses. Its hard to compare when sitting in the room but listening objectively, the QC is unbeatable in the modeling world at the moment.
Excellent tone and playing, that lil plexi just kills! Played through one once and was blown away. Love the comparison with the QC, def sounds really cool and will hopefully get even better with updates. Cheers!
The Neural Capture sounds pretty damn good, but that Plexi sounds awesome! I recently ordered a QC. Looking forward to testing it with bass :) Great video!
i have the Helix. I love the Helix, but compared to the QC it's like having an Epiphone LP to a Gibson. I ordered my QC from Sweetwater (only seller in USA) and I was told I'd get it by September sometime. For only $1,849 it beats a Kemper or AxeFX by a mile.
This is the Best video I ever saw in comparison of a real amp with a digital amp. I make every bet. In a Blind audition I would find out 100% what is the valve and what the DSP. Even if they are becoming better you cannot make something better that is perfect in building out the tone. In dynamic, attack and response. Brilliant. Thanks. One thing in advance i am messing in every comparison dsp vs valve. How dsp reacts when decreasing guitar volume and how a valve amp reacts doing the same. In my opinion this is one of the Main differences
I’ve had both and amps first and pedals. But the quad wins in all areas. It reacts when you lower the guitar’s volume. The Kemper sounded like a cocked wah when I’d lower the guitar’s volume. I couldn’t wait to sell it for many reasons. Many reasons. The feel. It need da pedal to help it with sound and feel. Ui was awful. Rig manager a pita. I don’t want to be tied to a computer myself.
Great video and comparison. I have a QC and this is the closest I will get to having a plexi. You got the QC sounding very close; the capture was even closer. I am very impressed with the QC and yet it reminds me what a phenomenal bang for buck the Boss Katana is, which I have. Thanks Paul! Oh, your Goldtop is so lush.
Thanks for the awesome video! You really answered the whole tube vs digital debate inadvertently. But, the cortex is an insane value for all the things you get. I hope to own the cortex for my main recording tool and an sv20 just for my personal pleasure
DSP is the future. They will get more and more powerful and there will be the point when you won't need tubes anymore. In fact, tubes are the outdated technology (last century/millennium) that requires a lot of electric power, produces a lot of heat and not really reliable:)
Honestly.........you can't tell the difference and the convenience of the QC it is a no brainer.Peeps that do not agree are Plexi owners who just hate being beat by technology.😁
Not sure if anyone else has asked this, but I'd pay just about anything for a Kemper Profile of your SV20 through that db13 cab. I used to have a similar rig, with the handwired Marshall 2061x into the exact same db13 cab. It's so great. Thanks for posting this!
Wow! When you said " that's getting close" I busted out laughing because that was so accurate as soon as you tweaked the EQ. I love my quad cortex. My main distortion right now is a capture of a dumble I found paired with a klon centaur and boosted by the utility gain. It sounds phenomenal. With the QC I now have a dumble, klon centuar, mezzabarba trinity, driftwood, and even a wizard. That's like $200k worth of amps and pedals that sound exactly like the originals.
I agree 100%. There's a latency (likely from the analog digital signal conversion) that's not audible, at least not to me, but does affect the feel. Especially noticeable if you play with the QC a long time and then go back to a real amp. The models and capturing could still be improved quite a bit. I captured my SD-1 pedal (took something simple to start with) as a test and made a scene comparing that to the neural model and the real pedal. Capture was far closer. I would have needed EQ to get the model version to sound close to the analog pedal. The capture also needed quite a bit of tweaking. I also own a Tonex pedal and the Tonex capture seemed to do a far better job in getting the capture closer to the real thing straight away.
Sounds like you adjusted the Plexi to sound like the Quad on the last recording you did, both sound like there was a blanket covering them, where before it was wide open and clear for the Plexi
I wonder how the Quad Cortex compares to the UA Lion for Marshall tones. Not just from the raw standpoint but also how the units respond to your playing, simulate edge of breakup and that kinda stuff.
For me the Quad Cortex is a chance (probably my only chance) to have a $100,000 dollars in amps without actually having to buy them. It's so close that most cannot tell the difference in blind test. I think the main difference you're hearing is the volume. People have a built in bias to automatically think louder is better.
It's not always 100% about the audience. In most instances, the audience won't care if you're playing through a 1992 Line 6 solid state amp. They just want to hear the rhythm and the vocals of the songs they like. As long as it's there, they're usually happy, barring few people that can really discern the differences. Your amp and guitar have a very clear and defined relationship that involves more than just "does it sound like that amp I like." The amp provides character, feel, and response. These things are what inspire us to play certain licks, rhythms, styles, etc... So pick the amp that inspires you the most based on all of those characteristics, not just "omg people that don't play an instrument will never know the difference."
@@IndyRockStar amps are always better and depending on the amp they take pedals better but… this is the best modeler I’ve ever had in feel, sound, UI, no computer needed just a cell. Compact and cool factor. The plug in whiners don’t realize neural already put a lot of those captures in there already. The whiners just don’t want to put out the money or move away from their computers. Meanwhile, the people that literally have signature plug ins are using the actual quad on stage. Pro or not, I love it.
Hi Paul, how do you approach the capturing process? Do you use the AutoSet feature? And do you adjust any of the input gain levels in the capturing menu before capturing ?
Hi, great comparison and great tone matching. Do you happen to have the capture of your amp on the Cortex Cloud? If so, let us know which one it is. It sounds bitchin! Thanks!
Wow when you capture the sound it's really amazing, when you are just making the sound I don't think you can get a good one as much as when you capture it, the less versatile thing is knowing that after capturing you can't change any parameters.
Hey...a question occurred to me. When you did the capture at 9:16, how was the Cortex connected? Did you use a mic on the cab, or did you run a signal out of the amp into the Cortex?
Sounds effin great! If you hadn't pointed out which one was which, I prolly wouldn't have known myself. As far as sound quality goes, the digital stuff is right up there. I haven't tried playing one myself but I suspect (like you said) that the experience of playing through one is different from the valve/tube amps that we all know and love. I might have to enquire Santa about a QC for christmas 🤔
I really paid close attention here, great headphones etc. and I think that SV20 here absolutely ruled the day, They way you recorded it (what mic did you use btw?) just caught everything I love about that plexi sound - although id of had a little less drive haha. The neural is awesome too.... but it sounded so 2D compared to the bloomy natural fuller sound of the amp.
WOW. VERY INFORMATIVE I still using a pod hdx 500 with great results. I will upgrade soon It's at the end of it lifespan after 6 years of gigs.Gigs beat up gear on the floor
Put it higher up. You can’t compare that hd500 thing. I had one. It was awful. Actually a lot of the pros are using it on the floor. I’ve seen some bands have them on metal slides out of a metal cabinet. But the foot switches will hold up. You can’t protect a pedal board either on the floor.
You dialed that in vary close, you could raise the high frequency your boosting at the end. The capture sounded great. I could record or play a gig with those sounds.
Is your signal chain guitar>A/B switch> Marshal or QC > interface?>DAW with Delay and reverb Or are you getting your delay reverb and mic pre somewhere else? Also do you use any compression? Sorry for the million questions, but you have such a consistently high quality tone no matter what you use, and I really want to improve.
EDIT: Ok now I bought a QC Red/Gold, can you share the capture? The model was similar but the capture was spot on! Specially having seen the model comparison first, when you hear the capture comparison it was like wow that is what you were aiming for but could not get with the model. It was interesting to see you add post eq to get it closer though.
There’s always one person that complains about levels. it’s impossible to get an amp to stay the same level as the comparison amp throughout a video while adjusting the parameters.
@@TheStudioRats It’s a known fact that louder music tends to sound better. Can’t recall the term. So i’m being labeled a complainer because I thought the volume levels should be closer? That’s a bit judgemental when what I was suggesting was a fair comparo. Oh well, life goes on.
Well you’re not asking me but it’s been 11 months on the answer I’ve had both and the quad feels and sounds the most like a nap to me. Kemper I never liked in feel pretty sound. Sold it.
I agree. I love my amps and pedals but the quad is the best feeling and sounding modeler out there right now. With the best UI. I’m glad I’m no longer tied to a computer as well. Amps will always come first though with pedals as I’ve said.
@@Utube-s8m Still have and buy tube amps, and if I could actually use them as designed I'd transport them. I've owned many modelers including Vox, Boss, Fractal, Line 6, they all were good at the time, but like most technologies they continue to improve in many ways. My main modeler now is a Boss SY-1000. However, I'm building a small, portable wireless rig around the Mooer Prime P1, the sounds are very good, but there's very little feel. All in all, for the price and size, I can make it work. Fits in a lunchbox size carry case, with 2 wireless systems, wireless in-ears, footswitch, cables and USB charger. Even fits my Tech 21 PSA 2.0.
Hey Paul... Here's a challenge for you. Could you create a Vintage Plexi patch for the Boss Katana II...and do a video comparing it with the Marshall VS 20 Thanks...
I followed your steps exactly with a Custom Shop LP Standard and it sounds nothing like this. Are you doing anything else before/after whats in the video? Thanks
It must be something I'm doing wrong, sounds as of input level is too low although I can't increase it without clipping. Thanks for the quick response : )
Having owned most all modelers even from day one with AXEFX I they all still have a weird scooped kind of cardboard sound. For gigging 100% no brainer they are great, for recording if you find a new sound and use it for the sound its great. To try to reproduce a tube amp, they are close but never there. They seem flat compared to a living breathing tube amp.
i do agree there is something off ..like a papery sound almost ..But putting my helix through an orange pedal baby into a cab ..it get rids of that but then i guess we are not far from using an amp,,but i do find it more convenient
This is something else that he’s doing he’s trying to make it sound exactly like the amp. I don’t like modelers and I passed on this three times and then I saw somebody using it at a big festival and I saw like a couple of videos like this and I bought one and I love it. I got rid of my Kemper which I hated and my helix I couldn’t stand either the feeling the sound. Amps come first and pedals but I really like this quad.
Sounds phenomenally close. Amazing technology.
The capture sounds identical to me, that Quad cortex is an impressive piece of work.
Your channel is one of the best guitar channel out there and you deserve more subscribers. I'm really enjoying your videos.

Sounds like you adjusted the Plexi to sound like the Quad on the last recording you did, both sound like there was a blanket covering them, where before it was wide open and clear for the Plexi
Nice comparison. I think with a bit of EQ tweaks, the QC could sound even closer to the Plexi.
The best video comparing quad and a real amp so far.
Glad you liked it
I wonder how the Quad Cortex compares to the UA Lion for Marshall tones. Not just from the raw standpoint but also how the units respond to your playing, simulate edge of breakup and that kinda stuff.
The plexi sounds better in every way. Will the audience notice, after eq and chorus and delay and processing? No. That makes the Quad Cortex worth it.

When you did your capture did you use a load box or did you mic your cab straight into the Cortex?

You dialed that in vary close, you could raise the high frequency your boosting at the end.

My suggestion is to increase the mids on the cortex just a little bit to get it more simular.

Having the real amp you like is great for AB comparisons for modeling. Most modern modelers can get close, except the feel.

I don’t like modelers and I passed on this three times and then I saw somebody using it at a big festival and I saw like a couple of videos like this and I bought one and I love it. I got rid of my Kemper which I hated and my helix I couldn’t stand either the feeling the sound. Amps come first and pedals but I really like this quad.
Just bought this unit 😋 Is this capture available for download ?
Paul has stuff on the cloud. But not this last time I checked. It’s obviously under studio rats.
does the quad cortex have option for mic placement?
Yes.
Bloodyhell, just ordered the DSP on the strength of this video.
