The official, original QC owners, non-owners & complainers thread

Honest & intelligent opinions only, please! Be respectful with each other, save your insults for NDSP.

As much as I like complaining about the QC, do we really need another thread

Check out the thread in the gear rants as I feel like it might overlap a touch. But what do I know

I really like their original iconography design. They've made bold steps towards a brighter future.

Yep, same thread.

If anything TGF needs a "Grudging allowance for things QC does well" thread. Which would instantly fall into obscurity. Or worse.

From the classic vault though:

Maybe if the communities on TGP, QC forums, Kemper forums, and Fractal forums, weren't so hostile to outside opinion and criticisms of their particular unit, then maybe there wouldn't be so many complainer threads and complainer people that ended up congregating here??? I dunno. Food for thought.

Create an out-group, kick them out of your spaces, and chase them around the internet constantly complaining about their conduct.... makes sense. Successful strategy to rid the world of evil ... I suppose.

Here... have a picture of Timmy Mallett.

Off to a good start!

Whizzinby, no! You were the chosen one!

"One of the things that some people really didn't like it that I said my video that the Helix often sounds closer to my real amps than the stock QC amp models."

Big, big, BIG +1. I don't have a lot of experience with most of the amps Helix (and the QC) model, but L6 definitely seems to capture their essence better than the QC does.

The tonal characteristics are there, but on the QC it feels like this very boomy, exaggerated low-end response is on all the time; great for metal chugging, and can be made to sit nicely in a mix, but not entirely realistic IMHO. On the other hand, this also means that Helix usually takes a bit more tweaking to get expected results.

I think the people people who complain about Helix's Brit Trem models being too fizzy never had the chance to play a Plexi in real life.

PS: Someone needs to invite Jon to this place. He's a good egg.

Confirmation bias is a powerful drug.

OBEY YOUR MASTERRRRRRRRRR!

Wow. Not surprising that people got upset and out of sorts due to disrupting their confirmation bias. But I AM a bit surprised at the level of hate messaging he was getting. That’s just crazy to me. It’s a freaking guitar modeler. People act like he shot their dog or something.
