NDSP Quad Cortex

[MirrorProfiles]

I really don’t want the main QC. I don’t even really want the Mini, but in a few years time when they’re going cheap, I’d probably take a punt on one (especially if there is no Cortex plugin by then). I did a similar thing with the HX stomp - it’s small enough that I can find some kind of use for it and it lets me into the ecosystem.

If I didn’t already have the AxeFX, the AM4 would be a similar proposition. The FM9 and FM3 are too big and bulky to be a multipurpose problem solver in the way smaller units can be.

It’s almost like a “pro” HX stomp (in that it doesn’t have the compromises of the flagship unit). And if L6 had a “pro” version of the stomp (say with capturing, I/O, max DSP power) I’d probably pay a bit more over a base model for something as powerful as their flagship. I wonder if any of the inclusions here will influence what the Stadium Stomp gets (I’m guessing more on the SW side as it’s probably deep into its development already). It may influence customer expectations though.

I find the HX stomp great as a little problem solver. If it had decent capture tech, wireless+cloud syncing and updates, more power, better reverbs and all the latest models I’d be pretty stoked. Touchscreen is not essential for me (I’d be happy with an app), but if it makes updates and parity across units, I don’t mind.

I personally like this more than the original QC. And I like that it’s not a weaker model. Even though it’s relatively small, it’s still bigger than I want it to be, and more akin to a floorboard modeler (even if it’s compact).

These new Reverbs are awesome.

That's one cat away from a catastrophe

You can't spell "catastrophe" without "cat".

Reminds me of the time I was outside with my dog on his runner. He was just sniffing around doing what dogs do when his runner got caught on my charcoal grill. He immediately assumed his life was in danger and sprinted in the opposite direction - his runner snagged the grill and he dragged that mf across my lawn and back with his tail between his legs looking like he was being chased by dog-satan. My grill never recovered lol

It's a good thing you weren't having a cookout at the time. (Or were you? )

It's easy once you get settled. It's super nice being able manage sharing presets and uploading your IRs using your phone.

Then and only then will it touch my desk:

The fact that the QC and mini run exactly the same OS has to be a good thing (especially for QC owners). I would expect development to definitely pickup a bit and the QC still to have a long life ahead.

Amp model development, tho?

I'm back to bitching about not having the IIC+ yet

It absolutely amazes me that after 5 years of repeating this, people still think it’ll happen.

“Yeah but now….”

Nope.

“Yeah but now they….”

Nope.

“Well now that this is out of the way…”

Nope.

“But now they….”

Nope.

I think you might be surprised at some point. I think the next step after their V2 captures will be parametric captures, and that's when you will see a flood of stuff come fast due to TINA. I am not sure how long it will take, but unless they run out of money first, I think it's going to happen.

Yeah well I do think it’s a good possibility. Going to be definitely more pressure on them now with a 2nd device using the same OS. The updates over the last few months have been great.

I'm back to bitching about not having the IIC+ yet

I know it’s not the same thing and I dislike captures mostly but this one is decent… (I have no affiliation… just found it last week).

I got my own amp I use and I also love the JP2C model, I just want the plugin lol

Not to beat a dead horse (does that stop any of us?), but file me under "Already happy, and have lost track of what all the hubbub is about." And the only other file I can imagine existing is, "Don't want a QC so who cares?"

I'm personally disinterested in 99.999999% of the products at my disposal, and I don't lose any sleep over it.

I know I’ll be surprised again, just not in the direction you’re thinkin’ I will be. I have absolutely not stopped being surprised this whole time.
