NDSP Quad Cortex

The part of me that likes new things is thinking sell my QC and get this on the reasoning it's more suitable to me as a desktop player.

The logical part of me is saying having this thing on my desk, instead of on the ground, under the desk, which is where my QC is, isn't much benefit as I use the desktop app anyway.

So unless I ever step out from behind the desk and join a band and decide to buy a second Quad, where I would buy the Mini and take the Cortex out with me, I don't need it right now.
 
The QC mini makes sense in my live rig in it's current form and midi implementation. When (if?) midi implementation is expanded then the full blown QC makes sense for my purposes. Will I swap? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As soon as I swap we all know midi will be improved.
 
had a mini freak out last night haha. went to go play and it just sounded horrible, really loud fuzz, no notes coming through. i was like hmmmm maybe do the update i guess? started the update and it basically sat there at 71% to the point where i thought it had bricked and i was like i shouldnt have done the update!!! it finally got done and it was doing the same noises.

I had a moment like that earlier this week. Plugged into my amp, H&K GM40, for the first time in a while, no sound. Swap cables, still nothing. Swap from the active pickup guitar to one with passives, thinking maybe I had a dead battery (hadn’t played that one in a while), nadda. Then I have the aha moment that the amp has a full power soak for direct recording without a cab. Sure enough, that was it.
