I'm just talking high-gain in general, and delay+reverb hitting the front of the amp in general.

I did a gig last weekend and the QC isn't cutting it for me. I'm a singing guitar player and had some trouble hitting the right switch on time. Might be that I need to adjust to the layout of the QC but the Helix Floor / Rack+remote is so much easier with the scribble strips right above the switch. On the QC the switches are too close from one another. Even if I knew which one to step on, I found out I had selected the wrong one. Never happened to me with the Helix LT. The HX Stomp (XL) was an even worse experience for me because the screens way too small for me to read in an instance.
Also had an annoying bug that turned on the wah on presets, and it would not turn off by returning the wah to heel or toe, or not moving it for several milliseconds. Had to remove the wah from the preset and hit save. The wah was setup to engage by movement, which was working fine before.
Don't think I will learn to live with the QC. Rather go back to Helix Rack with ToneX Pedal in an fx-loop or upgrade to the Stadium XL.

Yeah, I think NDSP Discord bans are permanent and not subject to appeal. Great way to foster healthy communication...

The effects I think have vastly been improved in the verb / delays
The std 2290 , Dual , Circular
All sound great IMO
How’s the noise floor this time around any better ?

The same. Tolerable. But noticeably higher than Stadium, Helix Floor, VP4, Axe FX III.
I definitely would not use the QC in 4-cable-method with a valve amp.

I like all the standard delays (analog, digital, dual, tape) and you can stack/route them with reverbs/mods in awesome ways with the transparent blend block. (I think fx are 5% better in-grid, but the creativity the transparent blend affords kind of offsets it)
Could use a Memory Man and some sort of UltraTap.
The modulation block is locked in.
The Misha plug will be a big add, as it really just needs some more esoteric effects for when you’re feeling like going that route. The glitch and laser effects from that plug will start to fill that gap. (As well as the full synth and multi-voicer from the others on deck)

@Orvillain smokin deal and I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Now quit fucking around and get a Mini so you can get quieter 4CM. We all know you’re gonna hook that up with the big one and start bitching again
