I have Nameless, Petrucci, Rabea and Mesa. I feel the urge to get something for cleans for once. I’m eyeing Cory Wong, Asato, or the Morgan suite - thoughts from anyone who has them?
No but I was talking to a mate who was doing the same thing as you. He already has rabea and Henson and he tried a few other ones on demo and concluded the fender in the rabea plugin was the best. Everyone’s mileage is different but I guess it’s worth a second look for cleansI have Nameless, Petrucci, Rabea and Mesa. I feel the urge to get something for cleans for once.

I got it when the sale dropped & it's becoming my favorite amp to play in the QC. Just feels massive, fast attack & not piercing at loud volumes.I'm hovering over Soldano just to have a new toy on my QC.

If he likes Rabea that much it would make sense!No but I was talking to a mate who was doing the same thing as you.

He was also eyeing down the cali76 stacked compressor pedal cause he likes it so much in rabea. I told him to just buy a qc at this point![]()
Have you tried the Tone king one , I thought it was really nice for cleans and EOB stuff when I had the demoI have Nameless, Petrucci, Rabea and Mesa. I feel the urge to get something for cleans for once. I’m eyeing Cory Wong, Asato, or the Morgan suite - thoughts from anyone who has them?
At the very least I’m glad I revisited Nameless - that’s all I need or want for high gain.![]()
I will buy Granophyre in 3 years when it’s compatibleI love it too, but I also love Granophyre. Once that's released it'll be lefty/righty double tracking on those two for everything.
I share your observation.."FRFR" comes with a higher risk to get nasty onstage then cabs.Last friday I had a gig in a medium auditorium (600 audience or so). I´m just posting to share some thoughts.
My buddy (lead guitar) used his Quad Cortex. I used my Nano Cortex. Both direct to PA and monitored through wedges provided by the venue.
It was Ok. Perfectly fine. BUT:
- He has some trebly presets (because it´s mandatory for the sounds he needs, since We´re a tribute band and the original sound is that way). With those presets, ""FRFR"" monitor always struggle in the high frequencies, were tweeters start to make strange things... it´s like them resonating or squealing or feedbacking in a way a 12" speaker never does. With IEMS he doesn´t have the problem, so the QC is not guilty, but ""FRFR"" monitors.
- Even when everything was OK, it´s just not the same feeling as having a guitar cab behind you. The tone is there... I wouldn´t dare to say anyone that I´m able to notice sound differences. I most surely don´t. But there´s something that I just dig more with a traditional cab. Same old discussion, I know. Just wanted to share that gig experience.
allegedly Meshuggah uses the QC live, (no kidding given Nameless) but I have to dig deeper to find more on that.
Just picked up Rabea and started listening. A little more money, arguably, then I should have spent on an NDSP "S O O N" proposition, but allegedly this is on their PCOM roadmap now, so... Obvious question is when; less obvious question is how much DSP will the Overlord synth block gobble up? Being able to put 4 instances in parallel (1 per Row/ 2 per CPU) with pitch shifters in front of each would be amazing, but that's probably optimistic.
I'm willing to bet (against myself, sadly) that it'll be on sale again before it gets PCOM support.I get tempted to grab this with every NDSP sale. Just never pull the trigger.

(Funny story: I brought my wallet downstairs to have my credit card# handy to buy Rabea, got cold feet, dropped the wallet on a coffee table, put a pack of strings directly on top of it somehow, and forgot all about it. We spent all day yesterday tearing the house up thinking I was going to have to cancel credit cards, get a new license, etc. By the time my wife found it, still in the studio... well after all that I just had to buy the damned plugin, right?)
