I can already feel my slide into 'NeuralDSP defender' syndrome.
I remember the Quad having some KILLER Diezel stuff.....

Makes me wonder if they will slowly update all the amp models based on whatever new approaches they've figured out.
I'd be interested in a before and after, so someone record a few clips of those amps before and after updating!

The models are pretty neat as far as the UI for selecting the different modes.
Are you planning on keeping all your digital gear or are you trying to sell some depending on how comparisons go?

Funny, had the big boy Cortex for over a year and never made a single capture cause I didn't own a single amp.
NOT going to be an issue with baby brother!

Not intending on selling anything right now. Keeping Helix, Axe3, and QC.
Part of me thinks that buying the NC doesn't really make a ton of sense unless you're going to make your own captures. But I guess there's plenty of stuff out there to explore as well. The QC has more going for it than just captures, but then I guess the NC is all about size and portability.

WHERES TINA
But in all honesty idk how you make a big deal about this AI robot and then include 0 new amps in the following update

Further thoughts. Today is day 3 of ownership. I've only had about 3 hours to play with it though.
- Touchscreen isn't as pewpy as I originally remembered. Now maybe that is firmware, maybe it is HW differences, I don't know. But it is much better this time around. Still not 100% perfect and responsive, but I never expected that.
- Back in 2021 I A/B'd the QC against the Axe3, along with the at-the-time 2nd guitarist in Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster. He preferred the tones from QC, and I preferred the tones from the Axe3. This was with the same or similar amp models, and the same impulse responses. But in the A/B's I've been doing now... I just don't feel that way, try as I might!
- But ... I'm really not a fan of the built in cab IR's. I can't explain why. They just don't sound as good to me as my ones (which I previously gave away on here too!) - I don't really like any of the built in 4x12's. I'd go as far to say I think they actually do the amp models a disservice.
- I've not captured anything yet. Just really haven't had time.

Been meaning to ask how/why you came up with the name?
That disaster has fascinated the crap out of me ever since my early mechanical engineering days.

So, how's the SLO100 from the plugin different than the SLO100 already in the QC? Shouldn't it be the same?

I saw the newsreel footage of it, and no one else in the band had any good ideas... so we chose a crap one!Been meaning to ask how/why you came up with the name?

It's based on the newer BAD model which has the Depth/Resonance knob.

Gotcha, thanks.
And also regarded by most as a much better sounding model compared with the built-in SLO….
