For one additional "look what I can do" parlor trick: I've got one guitar wireless from guitar to QC In 1, and a separate wireless unit (Boss WL-20) going from QC Out 3 to the FR10's input. So no wires at all, apart from power to the FR10. I had been right on the edge of throwing the WL-20 in the trash, because it's incompatible with so many of my guitars, but it works great for this application!

Rig is completely bad ass.
 
I’m using a MAXOAK K2. I don’t know whether it’s being manufactured anymore, though. Amazon no longer has inventory. If you search for laptop batteries, the trick is to find something with as many mAhr as possible (unless you’re optimizing for weight) and 12V output on a barrel jack output without any need for switching (to select 12V) after powering up.

 
Also not available at my side of the pond…only in preorder for 180,- without explicit timelines.

Never thought about the switching…assumed that they always power up at the last selected voltage….but you experienced otherwise?
Yeah there was one battery I looked at, recommended by a TGP member, that defaulted to 9V (IIRC) and you’d have to switch to 12 every time you powered on. The guy wasn’t sure whether that was safe, so he was unplugging the power cable prior to powering on, then switching, then reinserting the cable. No thanks.

In any case, if you order from a vendor with a good return policy, you should be able to do a little trial and error. Note that you may also need a polarity inverting cable.
 
As long as they have it out (with Fortin Nameless plugin ported!) before they have a BF sale! I have some good caps of it but really would like the full deal plugin!

I actually own a fair amount of NDSP plugins. More than you'd think given how much I've bitched about them in the past!!

Currently got:
Nameless
Fortin NTS Suite
Archetype Nolly
Darkglass Ultra
Fortin Cali Suite
Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ Suite
Parallax
Soldano SLO-100

Out of all of them I think Nameless and SLO100 are the ones I want the most on the QC. Nolly next. TBH, I've not used the Mark IIC+ Suite very much!!

The one that I thought would be pretty cool especially since he is an FX guy would be Petrucci

Nolly for sure would be one I think I would want

Only one I currently own is the Granophyre. Back in my Kemper days caps of it were some of my favorites, but didn't like this actual plugin that much.
 
New Quad Cortex ! #2 ** Merry Christmas to me. I sold my 1st QC to a friend & cool forum member...who shall remain nameless. But I got to missing that lovely box of awe & wonder so, I bought #2.

SW is completely sold out and more are expected in November...some time. I've already done the check out part , so when it arrives, they will ship it. I found that most, not all, but most dealers are "out of stock".

I'm hoping by then the Rabea pack will be ready for prime time but if not, Plini will do just fine...

You're not making a mistake!

I continue to be happy as can be with mine, just as close to perfect for me and my needs as I'll probably ever get.
 
there was rumour going around that they needed parts for the Nano launch and stock , not sure how true that is but ,perhaps something like the encoders or internal parts were on back order
Yeah I heard that too but both units seem to be out of stock indefinitely 🤣
 
Hopefully you get yours soon! Could you ask them to notify you of demo units as well?

I just checked the website and I guess there's been an update. They're expecting a shipment on Tuesday Oct 15th. We'll see.....

As far as demo availability, you just have to check several times a day. Go to Digital Modelers and click on Quad Cortex.

That's how I found my first one although, if you have a "sales engineer" just ask him to email or text or call you.
Several times I have seen 3 demos available at the same time and they were GONE in less than 2 hours !!
