NDSP Quad Cortex


Watching this and noticed the aesthetics of their demo unit.

Edit: ahhhh limited edition. 1 of 5 lol.

Those black and gold ones came out last year I think? Same thing, different look. I thought there were more than 5 worldwide though.

So far so good with the new update, able to add in Plini stuff alongside regular things and the new circular delay. Waiting for @2112 to do his video though because NOBODY can cover vintage rack effects like him!
 
IMO TGF has swung WAY too far over on the bashing NDSP pendulum. Similar thing happened with the Fender TMP and there was an attempt to reset the discussion. But lately with NDSP there's about 20:1 ratio of piling-on vs actual discussion. Gotta just soldier on and stay on topic.

About 30 minutes into the update and has been smooth so far but sitting at 64% for a while. Longer than expected but these foundational updates tend to take longer than standard ones.

Edit: just went from 64% to complete and restarted. Will plug in and play in a bit when I'm done working.

Really? I feel that lately NDSP has been given a fairer shake than before, and people feel confident in expressing excitement over the arrival of 3.0.0. and the excellent deep-dive feature videos.

Again, the bashing is more toward NDSP rather than the QC. NDSP often uses silly communication that can be hyperbolic, ill-timed and/or distracting from the product.

The QC, on the other hand, is a uniquely-positioned, great-sounding piece of gear that's increasingly capable and will only grow in influence and popularity after 3.0.0. I'd love to only talk about the product in the vacuum, but NDSP makes that impossible. The whole point of this place is being free to call a duck a duck.

That's one opinion, and the one that blankets this place.

The other may be that they've been doing that particular brand of marketing now since about a year prior to launch, which would be 4 years now, and however unorthodox it may seem to you and others it sure is working for them - so why would they consider changing anything?

Most of the folks here have been posting the same complaints over and over again since it came out and none of the things most bitched about ever get addressed.

And yet they just keep growing and cashing checks in spite of how horribly terrible a company they are.

But by all means, carry on... :rofl

Speaking of unorthodox marketing strategies, doesn't the old 'people in glass houses' thing apply here? :pickle

Quite obviously, I wasn't really serious, but still, I could pretty well imagine that some asked after models will not be part of the regular hardware update schedule.
It’s not like they were releasing QC amp models at a blinding pace before there was a plug-in pipeline siphoning some (or all) of them off.
 
I kind of dig the bling version of the QC :ROFLMAO:
100%. for the love of god I don';t know why they just don't make them black or hell offer it as a $50 or $100 upchrge

it looks so much better IMO and like a finished product and not like they forgot to paint it Ikea style. LEDS show better too

When the NANO arrives in 2028 let it be black

Who said they're a terrible company?
 
I'm not interested but there's some aftermarket skins that can be purchased and installed. Might be worth a look.

I actually dropped a volume pedal on my QC last week, hitting the screen and body. Assumed it would basically be game over, but surprisingly there wasn't a scratch or anything. Granted this was just from a couple feet up, but I've seen phone screens break like that easily.

I still would want to get a plexi screen cover for this thing if I were taking it out of the house.
