The Quad Cortex sounded better with the growl in the low mids, the Fractal had a bit icepiky thing going on, and was missing a bit of the big bottom thing the QC had. I would guess that definision was set to high in the Fractal. But fun to watch, keep it up
Hell yeah dude! Great video! I'm surprised how much you crank the bass on it, but honestly you did such a great job with this. Red for me is standard metal stuff as you know, and blue is what I set my "Billy Talent" tone to ahahaha
Forgot to mention, the red channel demos were also running their respective modeled Boss SD1 with the same settings for all clips (Drive 0, Level 10, Tone 5.5)
In the court of the dragon riffs are so good, i play them all the time ! :) Do u have a fractal preset set up for this I could download as a baseline? thx in advance!
At 3:40 I go over the changes I made to the regular 6L6 and why, but to summarize: Input Trim at 1.5 (Preamp) Low cut Freqeuncy to 10Hz (Preamp) Triode Plate Freq 9300Hz (Preamp) Preamp Bias -0.178 (Input EQ) Definition at 6 (Dynamics) Input Dynamics at 6 Hope this helps!
What were the IRs you used for the Fractal? I could hear you say In your face by Kristian Khole but I can't quite make it out the whole thing. Also wondering if it's in a specific pack? Thank you in advance!
You miss when the low B string moves up to the third fret on for the main riff of in the court of the dragon, go watch matt heafy play it on the gibson riff lords video
@@TheGooseChaseMusic its just the overseas cost that make it this way. Final assembly Fractal is done in USA, Quad Cortex in Helsinki. Why USA customers dont/pay less taxes for stuff like this is unknown to me. But always if i want to buy something USA, it will be expensive. Especially if we calculate Eur/dollar: 2300 Eur = 2462 dollar... crazy.
Hahaha that was a nice joke . Cortex has capture feature and can steal the tone of anything but you claim that a computer like fm9 can model the real amp better … hahaha you are really funny … p.s. I own axe fx 3 day one … it cannot touch samplers like cortex and kemper. That’s why all the industry plays with kemper and qc and no one instead of Metallica playing fractal staff except for effects … sorry bro … facts are facts
So much upspeak.. it sounds like you’re constantly asking questions by trailing your voice upwards at the end of each sentence 🤦🏻♂️ There are videos on how to stop upspeak. Please view them because you have some good content but people can’t get beyond constant upspeak.
As of 11/26, Fractal have release a proper EVH Stealth model. This comparison is dated now haha.

As a tone noob, I can confidently say I'm learning a lot through these vids! I'll definitely check out 5150 Stealth in the future!
I'm also still learning, and I just hope that documenting my journey end up helping other as well. The stealth is a staple for modern metal for sure!

Thanks a bunch my dude! The Boss SD-1 cuts a ton of bass, probably slightly more than a TS9/808, so that's probably the biggest reason why.

It's from the Bogren Digital pack that Kohle did, Rainbows and Chainsaws!
Isn't one of the Line6/helix own amps supposedly based on a 5150III? be cool to see that get changed up.
iirc the Helix only has the Peavey 5150 and Invective. Would love to see the Stealth on a Helix platform.
Do the Jp2c!
Soon™
Love me some trivium

a tone test with drop tuning and chugging is hardly a tone test lol, we need some evh riffs
6 string riffs at 8:36
should add some verb so its not so dry,@@TheGooseChaseMusic
Quad Cortex doesn’t touch the Fractal, however, it can be a great budget option for folks who cannot afford the Fractal
Both the FM9 and QC retail at $1700 USD.
Yes USD, in Europe an FM9 cost € 2.300. Quad cortex €1.800
@@MusicheadRickah, that's a fair point, I didn't realize.

The stealth is not my favorite, regardless of which modeller. Too quacky
Definitely an amp for a more modern quack haha
Quad cortex is superior.....
Lol
