Who Here Actually Has a Quad Cortex? Matchless Content

I’ve retracted my ownership, it’s now been traded for a Kemper.

Kemper IMO is great also!

Just posted a higher gain preset to the Cortex Cloud! This is with amp only and seperate captured cab.

I'd be curious to hear your pros and cons. My only major complaint prior to 2.0 was the insane whack-a-mole capture navigation screen. Now that that's (mostly) resolved, I'm a happy camper. More amp models, wah pedals, etc. would be nice, but I don't have any significant concerns. It sounds great, and it's uniquely easy to use standalone.

This be where I'm at with the pair that I have... sure there's some things that I don't love or want more of, but that was the same with anything. I find the ease of use to usable, consistent tones to be unparalleled meaning where most people are losing their shit over the lack of a computer editor, I'm fine with the fact that I'm not incessantly tweaking minutia all the time like I did with Helix, I get a more analog feel with the rotary encoders (I guess Ron likes knobs lololol).

So I guess that means you can add me to the small list of QC users to boot hahaha.

Cheers,

J.

Followed you on the cloud...

Well I was a former QC owner (twice actually), and in a moment of insanity I just ordered another one. Hopefully the 3rd time pays for all.

I've owned 4 FM3's now lol. Sometimes the 4th (or 3rd) time is the charm?

Think it'll stick this time around??

Probably - since I decided not to use a laptop live, it's between the QC and the FM3+tonex basically. It's still bigger and bulkier than I like, but it's just a good platform to match with things like tonex or pi running NAM. I feel a bit limited using the HX.

The latency with the latest QC update is excellent - 3-5ms in most cases! That's honestly what has me considering using it again, as opposed to stacking digital units in series, even though there's a lot I love about the FAS design/system. But the captures are significantly less accurate than tonex - but if it's for live, it doesn't really matter that much

Going to mess around with the new Matchless models today, wonder how you think they stack up to your caps @Deadpan

I will update today and compare.

Quick test, the cab is one of mine.

Blind test, you will definitely hear when it changes.

Definitely prefer B/second half of the clip. Not that the other was bad, but it was a bit on the stiff and scratchy side, comparatively-speaking.

Yeah B had more clarity to me as well

 

[northern_fox]

There's a big difference in the noise floor that's kinda skewing my perception. I'd guess the first is the capture

 

[Whizzinby]

B was def my preference

 

[Deadpan]

B is the capture A is the model. I tried to get the model to be more similar to the capture with the tone stack but it just wasn't possible. I had used a parametric EQ they could have been closer.

Further highlights how much better the captures are on the QC vs models imo

You have that cap up on the cloud?
