NDSP Quad Cortex

[Jarick]

Also for the record I like well designed laptop power supplies...you have the transformer and plug for the laptop, and then a separate IEC cable that could theoretically be changed out depending on the country for travel. I've almost never had one fail before the laptop hit EOL. And I like that they aren't wall warts either.

Power supply wires are out in the open for people to trip over and things to be rolled over and all kinds of crap.

Stop playing gigs with crazy mosh pits!

No, I get it too. Just putting things in perspective.

P.S. VC wires flop around in all directions, not just a single plane.
You can see this in super slow mo by shining a strobe light on them in a dark room.


EDIT: To clarify, I'm talking about the tensile portion of the VC.

this quad cortex capture sound has me inspired....fingers...getting......itchy.

and
1960-G12M25-SM57-Cap45-0in

Good sound and all of that, but does bro really have three different EQs (one before the amp capture, one between the amp capture and IRs, and a final one after the cab and flanger, but before the delay/reverb)?

I get the first to sculp what's coming out of your guitar to hit the amp right, but if I personally needed that much in a preset....I feel like I picked the wrong IR and/or amp model/capture in the first place......

good point. I'll rely on your expertise on how they are configured. A lot of different modulations too. There are a lot of blocks for sure.

All my concerns about power cables, or cables in general, comes from having shit dropped/tossed on them, namely cymbals and road case lids. If a ride cymbal can nearly sever a 1/4” cable, it’ll have no problem completely destroying anything thinner.

Yep, the included supply has a thin wire like a standard Boss power supply. Not a complete deal breaker but having a spare isn't a bad idea.

I'm seeing one before the IR block and one after. The third one is disabled in every scene. Drag that one to the bin, replace the IR block (and the other two EQs) with the way-more-fun-to-use cab block, Bob's your uncle.

A lot of different modulations too. There are a lot of blocks for sure.

The MXR Flanger is never enabled either. I think the guy just uploaded a kitchen sink preset.

(P.S. It's cool that this guy includes scenes with his presets, and it's fun being able to review them with the web app. Checking out his "Rebel Yell" preset right now.)

But not an IEC cable. Those are professional, dude.

Give me a minute. I'm busy retooling all of my guitars for 1/2" cables.

(Did someone say "form factor"?)

Being able to look at all of the inner workings of any Cloud preset for QC is one of the coolest things about that platform. Such a good idea.

Literally last night the Summerisle bassist stood on his power supply and broke it.

He has taken the Sadites method and run with it

That's all that matters.

I wouldn't use the word "professional", but you can easily get a beefy IEC cable (D'Addario even makes one).

Opposed to-

For the record, I'm talking about instances where the power cord is stretched out from an outlet/extension cord then plugged into the unit, whichever unit it is, not anything occurring on the board itself. And while I don't see it much these days, my perspective is always coming from mostly playing shows where you have no time to neatly coil cables and pack up appropriately until all the gear was off the stage and sometimes other people start doing it for you. Shit just gets broken all the time, especially cables.

Logarithmic vs. Linear setting on the Volume block - has that always been there? Cool!

He gets some great tones
His Kraken amp models are really good

I think so? Since I owned it anyways.
