Quad Cortex Quickstart Tutorial - Part 2: Amps & Effects
This is intended to be a concise tutorial for new(ish) users of the Quad Cortex to get started with building presets. My goal was to take the most important aspects of my other videos and try to jam them into one video of manageable length.

80's Rock Preset for the Quad Cortex
Переглядів 8184 години тому
This preset started with trying to copy a Peavey 80's Lead Tone John Cordy (@johnnathancordy) did on the Helix. From there, I just kept going until I had a full preset that tried to capture some of the those late 80's Rock/Metal tones.

    You know what would be really helpful to a lot of us, would be a video on file management. Downloading presets and impulses from the cloud, and how to manage all of that. I know that CorOS 3.0 is supposed to improve on file management, so might be a good idea to wait until that is released. I always struggle when I download stuff from the cloud to get the exact process down. I eventually figure it out, but it would be great to see it all spelled out in a nice concise way, and then a good way to organize the downloads. Just a thought...

    @begooode380 6 днів тому

    Nice! QC question, pls. If you were to capture the Bright setting from a pedal like this, would you adjust the tone on the pedal first as you did in your demo or would you capture the initial tone to sort of “keep the character” of its scooped sound and eq to taste later from the capture itself? The sound from that mode was rather drastic with the bass falling off completely, but it might be ideal in certain applications. Thx again.

    • @davlavmusic7070
      @davlavmusic7070 6 днів тому

    • @davlavmusic7070

      It's just the lighting in the room. In the beginning when it's just in the floor, I'm blocking the floor and it's just the room lighting. When I switch to the playing position you're starting to get some natural light into the guitar and I think that's bringing more of the yellow tone in the green out.

    What's a good equivalent pickup of the 85/15 S?

      You mean pickups that you can but on their own, like Seymour Duncan, Dimarzio, etc. Not sure, really. Maybe the Full Shred from Seymour Duncan? PRS pickups tend to be rather unique, IMO.
