NDSP Quad Cortex

[paisleywookiee]

I am in the same boat , I think it’s a great format and super simple to use

There was a guy on the FB group that claimed to be a rep ( so take it w a grain of salt)
But he said NDSP was planning to move the gate so it was part of the amp block freeing up the pre fx for a drive block
He also said they had plans to add to each or the current fx blocks , with more delay verb options
My guess is perhaps they will reveal some of this roadmap at NAMM

A drive block , Dual Delay
And other plate or a great spring verb would definitely have me closer to pulling out the Visa

Yeah that makes sense. I GOTTA believe, that (despite my heavy cynicism of the company) they have to add at least more types of each effect. While I love the DC-2 and analog delay, those are only two colors of the crayon box.

QC experts - stupid question. is it possible to use the QC as a reamping box? And to clarify, I really mean just as a reamping box (most google results are showing me answers to different questions than I'm asking) , receive the DI track from interface, doing whatever line or impedance conversion that needs to happen, and then send that signal through a real guitar signal path?

Like literally just want to use a QC for the sole purpose of what your typical radial box would do, nothing else QCy

I’d be fine with it…but it’s outputs are 560 ohms…Google tells me that’s lower then a guitar.

But..it works fine to my ears in 4cm…can’t see why it shouldn’t work as a reamp box.

You’d have to figure out the output level by ear probably.
It has variable input impedance…though personally I’d take the DI signal from the USB out of the DAW. (#2, personally I’d capture the amp and reamp / print to track via USB)
It has plenty of ground lifts..should be fine.

Are you able to change the impedance values?

I don’t own a QC but my bass player does… we have next Monday blocked off to do some guitar reamping (with actual amps) but we realized we’re lacking a key piece of gear there….

Doing something janky like going “reverse” in DI box or a “use a boss pedal for its buffer feels like it might waste our time

But I feel like with the options available on either my HX stomp or his QC we should be able to achieve the same type of signal conversions necessary

But I’m a noob to this

I don't think that should be an issue at all. For example a typical Strymon pedal has an output impedance of 100 Ohm.

The QC should work just fine as a reamp box. I agree that the easiest would be to use it as an audio interface and send the DI track via USB.

For you Plexi junkies. This does sound pretty damn good.

That sounds really good to me too. I’ll have to try it out.
