I've only had my one QC, which is an earlier model. The only issue I had is that occasionally the input impedance will adjust itself down so it sounds really muffled. This has happened maybe three times in eight months. Easy fix, but it's weird.
I haven't had issues with the power supply even though it's flimsy as hell. Also I haven't had any ground loop noise issues at all with this unit even when hooked up to USB. I haven't had any issues with it freezing or crashing that I recall. The touch screen is a good resolution and while it's not iPhone level, it's quite responsive.
There are YouTube tests of aftermarket power supplies and they didn't observe any benefits from other power supplies. I haven't experienced the issue so I don't know what the solution would be. I will say I've had a Helix and an HX Effects that had a lot of noise when hooked up to an amp and the QC is dead quiet (although my HX Stomp is also dead quiet).
No idea on the Rat or BD-2 as I don't own the real pedals. I've been buying and capturing drive pedals and comparing to stock models. The drive models in general sound pretty good to me. I haven't done an A/B of the latest batch of pedals I got (Wampler Tumnus, MXR Duke of Tone, Nobels ODR Mini) but the Fat Sugar (Klon), Golden Boy (Bluesbreaker), and others seemed good.
I'd say if there's a drawback now, it's lack of variety in things like reverbs (especially modern Strymon style ones), vintage delays (Space Echo and others), and micropitch detune (like Eventide). Right now there's a good amount of modulation effects, drive pedals, and amps. Plus you can find tons of other models on the cloud.
Are plugins really just presets that your paying ~ $150.00 for ?
you get the amps OD delay etc etc but those can be found in most modelers no ?
so what is the incentive or appeal to buy X plugin and pay for it ??
Stump using NDSP plugins in the studio leading to him using a QC live. As far as hooking in pro musicians and people from a recording background, having solid plugins is the way. I agree with how he explains how he feels about digital vs analog.

Pretty cool between the band they’re using AxeFX, HX Stomp and QC too.Pretty cool interview. Loved their input on silent stage & in-ear monitoring - really been looking into this kinda stuff for the past 2 months or so.
the plate lush , and the other plates sounds pretty good to my ears in the clips as does the dual delay or Slapback if you want to do the country thing .Playing with the "Plate Lush" reverb, it's really nice. Especially with a delay out front.
Also spent a good chunk of time messing with the Legendary 87 compressor which is based on an 1176, which is super popular nowadays. I got a really good setting dialed in with a low ratio, high attack, back off the release, and bring the mix down to 75%. Really lets the attack of the guitar come through and then brings a big full tone in to sustain.
They have a lot of demos.. do they mean returned?In case anyone is interested, SW has a demo QC for $1444.15 free ship & 2 year warranty. Hurry, it won't last long at this price !
That's 15% off.
I'm sure it's not that many compared to how much they sell. Demo can mean that it was used on their showroom or possibly returned. I feel like they have a different term for returned thoThey have a lot of demos.. do they mean returned?

Scared of buying something imoIf you are REALLY interested...why don't you give SW a call and ask them ?
Does it mean you third time testing it, or did they update it to ”v 3” and you want to test it because of that?QC v 3 to be next
Once code version 3 hits I'll grab a unit again. Although it will be my 4th actual QC.Does it mean you third time testing it, or did they update it to ”v 3” and you want to test it because of that?
Oh… ok. That makes sense.Once code version 3 hits I'll grab a unit again. Although it will be my 4th actual QC.
