(P.S. I have no idea why every other local band isn't named "Puppet Show".)

(I have a LOT of free time between gigs.)

Currently I still have an AM4 and a VP4 along with the FM9. I have owned Fractal devices since the AX8.It sounds like Fractals are not for you. I love the constant updates. I’ve noticed a distinct improvement in the amp models over time and think Cliff and team’s dedication to giving us free updates for now nearly decade-old devices like the Axe FX III and it’s sub units (FM series, AM4, and VP4) is downright impressive. Do I think amp captures are better than models? Yes, but that’s coming from someone that owns and captures his own amps. If I didn’t have amps, I’d be happy with Fractal models for sure, they sound great.
Contrast that with the Nano Cortex that couldn’t upload captures for 8 months and was only just updated. Or the fact that every time I upload 4-5 IRs to the Cortex cloud, only 1-2 shows up available in my NC (and I’ve verified they are all the same format). The bugs with Neural products are a little intense compared to the relatively stable Fractal software. Plus I can click and drag presets from the device, and I can click and drag IRs to the device, things I can do on all fractal devices, while my NC can’t do either as there’s no PC app and the ecosystem is locked down.
Yes, and then when you’re bored of it in a few months you can ship it to me and pass the savings onI just found a shop that has the QC Mini in stock, and I even have a 10% discount voucher for it. GAS pressure is mounting. Should I go for it?
Sounds the same as me. I had a 10% coupon so if it doesn't work out, I might break even if I have to sell it.I just found a shop that has the QC Mini in stock, and I even have a 10% discount voucher for it. GAS pressure is mounting. Should I go for it?
You're not located in the US, right? I think Sweetwater is the only dealer in the US...I just found a shop that has the QC Mini in stock, and I even have a 10% discount voucher for it. GAS pressure is mounting. Should I go for it?
Nope, I‘m in Germany.You're not located in the US, right? […]
Yeaaaaaah!I just found a shop that has the QC Mini in stock, and I even have a 10% discount voucher for it. GAS pressure is mounting. Should I go for it?
Yes, and not exactly a "motivated seller" at the moment.You're not located in the US, right? I think Sweetwater is the only dealer in the US...
Why do I feel like I just stopped understanding what "stereo" means?Has anyone with the QCM tried using both of the effects loops simultaneously with the Y cables?
Since the TRS cable end going into the QCM handles both SEND1/2, that makes the loops mono only?
I can't find in the manual if the send1/2 can be used as a stereo pair.
I guess I could split the path and have left and right on independent paths.
