Quad Cortex captures/presets that you use the most

[dean701]

I have created this thread In an effort to guide people towards captures/presets and streamline capture searches or purchases.

What are the captures that you use the most?

It would be helpful if there was some context to the recommendations as well.
Perhaps, some helpful notes like: Genre / Gain Level / (Lead/Rhythm) / maybe guitar used? / (publicly on cloud / private sale through vendor) / link


Summary table (updated once in a while. if your entry isn't there don't be offended - I have no intention of tracking every line item indefinitely)

Just tried it. Sounds like I remember the Kemper profiles sounding.

Am I right in thinking this is a capture of a Kemper profile then captured by the QC?

As I've been saying from day one: the ENGL Rainbow captures, despite being V1, are glorious IMO. Just a great tonal balance and very easy to play. (They make me wish I bought a Blackmore sig back when they were relatively cheap.)

Sometimes you need models instead of captures, so that you can dial things in freely. For rock and roll, it's still hard to beat the Brit 2203 with your choice of OD in front. For cleans, the US DLX 64 Vintage is very natural sounding. For something even cleaner and more modern, the Bogner Uber Clean is killer.

Tonehub is it's own thing by STL IIRC. Definitely a capture of a capture tho

If I remember correctly the Tonehub pack was 1 for 1 of the Kemper pack.

Not saying this is a bad thing. I knew many that really liked it.

I know they released packs that were either Tonehub or Kemper. Now whether the Tonehub was just a capture of the kemper, I don't know. But they were marketed as 2 different products

Soldano and Nolly PCOMs. I despise captures.
