I also love this feature. I can do 3 sets with just 2 guitars. The only stage tuning I do is drop on the low e string. We play everything from the stones and led zep, to Korn, pop evil and velvet revolver
I've had a QC about 6 months and I'm still fairly ambivalent about it. It's not exactly a plug and go piece of equipment, you really have to tweek it to make it useful. It's hard to set the levels so when you change scene the volume doesn't go way up or down. I used it for a gig the other day and during the sound check I tried the clean sound I had set up and the sound guy said the high frequencies were way too high. You really have to mess about with it, for the money you would expect it to be nicely set up. Most of the factory presets are absolutely useless. They sound terrible amplified.
Thank you! Thanks for watching! They’re called the Mooer Mushroom guitar effect pedal covers. They’re in a pack of 10. I got mine on Amazon, however they should be available in guitar stores and guitar parts stores!
quick question im a helix floor user and selling my helix to get cortex ,is it really worth to switch over ? i heard some bad reviews about cortex and also they sayin in future they wont update the system , i knoe there is a app you can download patches from other users but is there any chance you can buy patch from other people online like helix ?
Hey! Thanks for your question! So, I haven’t used the helix system so I can’t say whether a switch from the helix to the cortex is worth it. Have you demoed the Quad Cortex to compare yourself? I’d say try it if you can, I certainly did, I went to andertons in the UK to try it in store before I purchased it. As for system upgrades, and as with any piece of technology, it’s hard to say when the equipment will be phased out/replaced and with that comes the stopping of upgrades. NeuralDSP have said a lot about upgrading, improving etc, and some users have said it’s been slower than expected. Some things mentioned that would be available at launch still aren’t available; desktop editor, plug-in capability etc. I’d would suggest looking at the unit as it is today and deciding whether you think it’s good enough to part with your hard earned cash! Yes the Cortex Cloud app! You just download the app on your phone and then start searching! You just click the download button once you find one and then it’ll appear in the download queue on your QC, hit save on the QC and viola, New patch! At the present you cannot buy patches, instead you can download patches for free. That may mean that the people trying to earn money from this product aren’t able too and aren’t producing as many patches for the quad cortex. However, there are fantastic patches on there completely free. I would say that It depends on how you view this but I believe being free means that you do not need to part with more money to get the QC to sound great! Some of the most popular patch creators are: Neural (the company itself), Kiko (guitarist from Megadeth) ToneJunkie, WorshipTutorials, Cory Wong, Rebea, but literally there are thousands of creators on there. You can join in once you have one! With that being said, sometimes that may mean that you download one and it’s not as expected, however it takes literally seconds to download, try, and you can remove it if it’s not up to your standard. You may have lost about 2 minutes time total? Hope that helps! Once again thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes it’s great. Got rid of my Kemper and helix. The feel and sound are great re the quad and the UI is beyond great. I love it and I passed on it 3x. It cost me way more money last yr doing that. I even bought another. I love my amps and pedals but somehow they got the feel down that’s closest to an amp. Simple to set up a preset. You won’t be tweaking for hrs you’ll be playing for hrs. The few bad reviews are from the people that either don’t have it, want the plug ins which the modeler is better than a plug in and they want a pc editor. Don’t need one. The screen is huge. Guess what? The pc editor I saw in utube videos at namm looks like the UI. But they promised it and I believe the Finn’s keep their word. Everytime I had a question they replied asap. I think the plug in whiners want inexpensive plug ins and a computer to sit in front of. Maybe they don’t have the money idk but it’s bs Re any poor reviews. Kemper promised a lot of things that took yrs to show up. They literally said oh you can use a cell now. No you can’t. Only with the least expensive stage. The over 3 grand units need a $100 worth of gear to set that up. No thx. Yes one more thing there are people making money off of selling profiles and they can’t with the quad. Hmm 🤔 free profiles. I use my amp’s return fx into L3 of the quad and plug my guitar into input 1 of the quad. So I’m using a real guitar cabinet. Sounds great. It’s also fun to use not aggravating. It fakes a minute to understand it then you’re good to go. There’s videos and manuals etc. there’s Brad Paul and I hope he doesn’t mind me saying studio rats.
@@kcussrebutuemos4815 ❤️ 👍 Without having used the kemper or the axe fx but have been super happy with the QC. I guess with the PC editor some people will find it useful, but yeah it’s certainly not necessary unless you’ve got your QC setup in a rack, or it’s out of reach; it’s good to have but not a necessity!
@@bradpaul Brad if you want me to remove another utuber’s name I don’t have an issue with it. Was just trying to help out but it looks like you’re ok with it. You seem like a super nice guy and you got a new subscriber. I hated the Kemper. It had this stiff feeling. Needed a pedal to help play lead. I was so glad to sell it. Helix same issue but a slight bit better but never used it because well no inspiration. I have amps so why use something I didn’t like. The quad is a different story. It’s great imo. Huge waste of money on the Kemper and helix but some love it but I’ve seen a bunch of players saying the same thing I’m saying. I think everyone’s different. Different experiences with amps etc.
@@kcussrebutuemos4815 oh no not at all! The QC is a community! The more we play share and talk the better!!! And thanks for subscribing, really appreciate it! And I imagine you’re a good guy too! Hope your having a great weekend!
Don't even bother to learn this. Even Neural does not invest much in it. Buy a FM9. That thing is awesome and gets regular updates- will be around for the next 10 years. QC did not live up to the promised hype. It will likely be gone in a few years.
Thanks for your comment and engagement! What makes you say that the QC won't get updated and wouldn't be around in the foreseeable future? The QC is still receiving updates and Neural DSP have followed through with promises (albeit slower than perhaps what was anticipated)
@@bradpaul Slow is an understatement. The simple fact is Fractal is about 10 years ahead in terms of development. It has a desktop editor and world class effects- unlike the QC. So what if it does not have capture. The UI is better on the Neural but that's about it. The PC editor on Fractal is very good. I dunno. I just see them moving on or getting out of the modeling world- just a hunch but I am usually right. You don't hear them talking up a lot of buzz around the QC anymore. Updates come in dribbles. There likely will be a few updates, maybe even an editor for desktop but then I think it will fade away. So I can pay LESS now, for a far superior FM9, or pay MORE and hope Neural fulfills promises, that for years they have not. Remember this thing came out in 2021 and was the most overhyped piece of gear on the planet. Marketed as "The most powerful floor modeler on the planet." It would be perfectly fine for a $500 pedal to add to a board- that's about it...but play whatever you like.

Very informative nice video explaining the scences modes great stuff thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks 🤘🏾 #staysafe ❤
The pitch shifter is my favorite thing about the qc. Can play many different songs without having to mess with a brand new setup
It’s one of mine too! I have it in most of the presets I’ve built. Super handy!
I also love this feature. I can do 3 sets with just 2 guitars. The only stage tuning I do is drop on the low e string. We play everything from the stones and led zep, to Korn, pop evil and velvet revolver
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Thank you!! Very helpful after being super frustrated not getting scenes to work because of the official video manual that is outdated.
No problem! Glad I could be of help!
Helpful Brad. Thank you. There was a very small update 2.0.1 just an fyi. I don’t know why I called you Aaron sorry about that. 🤦🏻
Haha no problem! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!
With updates coming I’ll try and make more videos! Thanks once again!

Great video! Just wondering what knob covers are you using for the QC? Thanks!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!

New fan of my qc. I play fender ultra luxe strat +.Think you shows it well dont change or dewell if you think right.😁😁
Nice! My PRS Silver Sky sounds great through it too! There are some great presets for single coil guitars built in, and plenty in the cloud too!
Thanks Brad Have a nice day😁
