Bruno de Souza Lino Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The first time I saw this unit was at a demo video Anderton's did and I could not stop thinking that it looks like some DIY maker pedal thing considering how plain and bare it looks. You'll see what I mean if you watch the video. It doesn't look like a quality piece of kit. But, looks can be deceiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roseberry Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Unless you're a beta-tester or "influencer", you don't have a Quad Cortex (haven't started shipping). Pete Thorn has done an excellent demonstration video...as has Rabea Massaad. The QC is going to be another great guitar modeler/profiler option (along with Helix, AxeFX, Kemper, etc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched those videos Jim (and a load more!). I 've had a Kemper for years and have been mostly very happy with it. I had been looking at getting an AXE-FX III, but having done a bit of YouTube research (and having read the manual cover to cover) it seems the QC seems to offer just about everything the Axe does, but for half the price. I noticed mention from a Neural spokesman that a QC app for PC/Mac was in the pipeline, and that to me would be the icing on the cake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QC seems to be a nice "cherry-picked" feature set of Helix, Axe-FX, Kemper. I'll grab one from Sweetwater (when they're actually available). The Mooer G300 can also load "profiles/captures". You have to use an iPad to create the captures (a bit of a pain)... but it works. Our local SamAsh had one used for $550... so I grabbed it to test. Sounds a whole lot better than you'd expect (given cost and being MIC). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane_B. Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Steve, I just thumbed up one of your posts to get you to 1,000 total member reputation. Do I win a prize? Perhaps a used Kemper? ? Edited February 12, 2021 by Shane_B. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno de Souza Lino Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I find a bit odd that the quad cortex has almost the same ui the helix does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One advantage to being "late to the game" is knowing the strengths/weaknesses of competing devices. Neural has "cherry picked" some of the best features from Helix, Kemper, Axe-FX, and HeadRush. To my ears, it sounds like their "capture" procedure may result in even more realistic "profiles" than the Kemper. Keep in mind the Kemper is what... 11 years old?! Amazing that it's still viable.

They removed the oversampling options in the Archetype Gojira plugin. All other plugins before it have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
