Quad Cortex Mini

oof. Ok will keep my mouth shut-got lucky on timing and sorry for those who are waiting. I thought these were shipping regularly now.

Oh I more so meant that not many on this forum have one mostly because they didn't order one

Received mine a few days ago. Really enjoying using it. Having my brother print me a stand for it.

Need to really take the time to dive in, but it's so cool to be that I can pull my presets from the plugins and use them on here. At least from the plugins that have been ported.

The VP4/AM4 are even smaller than I thought.

Yes, it's an amazing form factor.

And the Quad Cortex Mini a bit bigger than I imagined (compared to the VP4/AM4).

Surprised no one has chimed in over the past almost two weeks. Maybe people are waiting on shipments? I continue to be very impressed with mine. Drives are just ok. Like the Xotic and BD 2 not sure I love the Klon. Would like to find some drive captures-anyone have any recs? My plan is a board with the QC and Verbera with Michael Nielsens rack captures for Reverb and the PCM 70 pan delays. I will add a drive pedal if I dont find a better solve with a capture. A board with two or three pedals that does a ton and is super flexible. BTW the reverbs are good I just think the Michael Nielsen stuff and convolution reverb format is really on a different level.

I’m happily rocking it. Mini is slick AF.

I’m not a huge drive guy. I stick to the holy trinity of Myth/808/SD1 into already gained up amps, but I have taken to the 1981 drive into clean amps to add some hair. That’s a cool drive in the QC. I’ve been experimenting with parallel rat and muff drives to do the doom thing.

Re:reverbs. Nothing wrong with sprinkling in a pedal or two, or IRs. FAS is about the only platform that gets semi-close to being FX-complete with core effects, but even then there are too many companies doing cool stuff to ever feel like you have to stay in the box. You’re only limiting yourself by ignoring the broader pedal/FX market imo. The QC verbs are pretty strong these days, but I patch in stuff all the time if I want something Eventide/CB/Strymon specific.

I was thinking as of now the QC Mini is probably the best tiny all in one modeler, like if you were traveling frequently and need something small, this is the new king. Strandberg + QC Mini would be super fun.
