This preset started with trying to copy a Peavey 80's Lead Tone John Cordy (@johnnathancordy) did on the Helix.

Using the Klon Centaur Design to Build a Quad Cortex Preset
Переглядів 908Місяць тому
A while back, Dan and Mick (That Pedal Show) did an interesting video deconstructing the Klon Centaur and trying to recreate the tone using a set of pedals. That inspired me try to see what I could do on the Quad Cortex. It's not about trying to recreate the tone of a Klon - that wouldn't make sense given that there's an overdrive for that. Instead we're going to take the overall structure of t...

I think the old bridge sounds better. New Bridge is too bright
I am confused, In the fully separate left/right mode; if you only use the left input, you still have stereo out going on. I was expecting to only hear audio on the respective side. Is it because right side is not activated?
Not sure. I know there's been some changes/ fixes in recent updates. I haven't had a chance to test those.
Rotary effect on the quad cortex sounds a bit digital to me ? Do you agree ? (I have a QC by the way)
Best QC tutorial videos by far.
Wow. Thankyou so much. My quad cortex over heats sometimes. Is it normal?
Do you mean it feels warm/hot or it reports some sort of error?
The device will get quite warm, but I'm concerned about what you mean by "over heats". Do you mean it shuts off or you need to turn it off? That is not normal.
@@davlavmusic7070 no. It does get pretty hot very quick. It doesn’t get shut off
Thank you
thank you so much for the best explanation about scenes mood!!!
No wonder it’s so cheap
Echo...please move your mic closer. Wenge is heavy.
I've gotten a better mic since I did this video. Hopefully you'll find the sound is better on the new videos, like the PRS SE NF3 review: ua-cam.com/video/5DQmwju3SgE/v-deo.htmlsi=n_VgLEfL0ZLMpNVd
hello sardines! what's on the menu today? what are we pretending to do today? play a 100 watt marshall? kids these days....
Excellent!
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...
The 85-15 are just in the middle in my ears, more metal sounded, am i right? 🙏
I think they can better fit that role than the others. They are not high output, but the clarity makes them better suited to high gain, I think.
I really dig the rhythm tone you got here! Nailed it!
great ! once again
Was playing around with this a few days ago and really dig it. Does the Freeman BOD disable the EQ when the knob is set to 0?
Not sure. Either that or the eq is additive. I just know it's a great way to tighten up a tone on the qc.
Democrats have to unite under a candidate who can destroy MAGA at the ballot box. Harris would be good however, see doesn't have the best optics. Newsome will overwhelm Trump
13:36 The ST9+ is a killer pedal! It's basically an OD808 with more headroom because it converts the 9v to 18v. Also has a low boost switch and a mid enhance knob. Very versatile pedal! The captures are so good on the Cortex , it's definitely on my Wish list! lol
Hi Davlav , one more question please. when my guitar is in input 1 and output 1 and 2 and everything is disabled i stil hear a clean sound trough my speakers . Hoew is thar possible?
The line level for the guitar will still flow through unless you mute it in some way. With the blocks off they are not affecting the tone but they would not stop the signal.
@@davlavmusic7070 Thank you so much i appreciate all of youre effort. Thank you
Hi Davlav , Thank you for all youre beautifull videos. I have a question . When i use the effect loop in my quad cortex to use with the tonex one and bypass the effectloop i still hear the tonex pedal through the chosen amp in the quad cortex. Can you help me with that please. Gr ,Harry
If you've disabled the FX Loop block there should not be any signal going to the Tonex. But if the Trails is turned on in the FX Loop you would still get any signal that the Tonex is creating into the QC.
Maybe i do something wrong. When i use input 1 and output 1 and 2 and disable everything i still hear a clean soun coming thru the speakers.
Thanx for an honest opinion. Too many reviewers absolutely love the guitar they are reviewing or find a minor criticism that adds no value. I will probably buy one.
I can't find the present what is the present name listed in cortex cloud?
It's called "Satino Captures". Here's the direct link: neuraldsp.com/cloud/p/b64a9d43-9c63-4ada-ae0f-2cce29edaf98
Thx got your efforts!
That it great! Thanks! Looking forward to see more.
Fucking Awesome! Fast Simple Effective! I am seasoned but new to QC.
Just got my QC yesterday. I already saw a lot of video’s, but this is a great ‘how to get started’ overview. Thanks!
Great to hear! That's what I was shooting for. Welcome to the QC!
Amazing tones! Congrats from Argentina. I was looking in your cloud account but I can’t find this preset, could you upload again? Thanks
Here's the direct link: neuraldsp.com/cloud/p/46b4fc54-ca5a-48fa-8d36-c138c4b11c9e
Try upping your In 1 LEVEL (in global) to say +6. I find the amps sound more like tube amps that way.
I'll give it a shot
I boost my input levels between +2 and +3 depending on the guitar I'm using. How you do you stop amp models being too boomy? Global EQ?
I don't have that issue much. The Lonestar can get that way, but I just turn the bass down. Captures can get boomy and in those instances I use a high pass filter. But each amp/capture is different so I just do that within the presets not in the global EQ.
@@davlavmusic7070 6+ feels a bit too much for me. Are you using single coil or humbucker based pickups?
@@samaitcheson7057 Typically I use an HSS guitar. So more single coil tones. But I don't boost the input signal at all currently. Haven't had a chance to try this tonepilot's suggestion yet.
I have just got the Quad Cortex and tried it for the first time last night, absolutely amazing unit. I have been watching your videos for quite sometime now and finally bought one after watching these. I had a Pod Go but the QC is such a step up. Thank you for all your videos, much appreciated.
Welcome to the QC!
Hey. I have bought a quad cortex. But seriously need some very basic videos to get the most out of it. Thankyou so much. Please upload more of these
I will be. Part 2 will be soon.
I didn't notice any difference
I don't think there's much difference in how it sounds, if at all. The main reason I swapped the bridges was for intonation.
@@davlavmusic7070 that's what I meant, they both sounded perfectly in tune. I have the same guitar with the stoptail bridge which is actually a better bridge then the one you bought
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.
I would adjust the tone on the pedal. The eq adjustment for the captures on QC is pretty limited. I think you'd have more luck getting the too bright back than taking it away on the QC, IMO.
Your ampero presets are amazing! Do more!
The device is just borrowed from a friend, so I'll need to wait until I can get it back again.
@@davlavmusic7070 Right now I’m watching your video about shekter mv6, your game is great, I would like to look at these presets for ampero, would there be Neal Schon sounds in there?
That shouldn't be too hard. I did a Schon preset for the Quad Cortex. ua-cam.com/video/ZiIFw-O8WTQ/v-deo.htmlsi=C5WZCL4Egm6ElXRt
Another option maybe is that you can change parameters between scenes, then use the same Amp in other mode
If you need double delay and gate, don't charge 2 diferentes amps, use clean and crunch in other preset, then put a gate and stereo delay and discharge dsp
Awesome amps and awesome captures!!
Really helpful thanks for this
Thank you very much for this video! This is what I was searching to replicate legendaries LA studios sounds. Rock on man!
Wonderful and very usable preset, thanks
Silly question but can you change the MS to BPM?
Not that I know of.
That's right, I had the same experience, put a gold anodized pickguard, it looked ridiculous gorgeous, but took away a little bit of that tone that I love of my Strat, sadly I had to put back the original pickguard on. Glad to know I wasn't the only one crazy about it!
Yeah, it's a shame - the metal pickguard looks so good!
I’m so glad everyone is enjoying the capture’s!! Big thanks to davlav music for sharing my amplifiers
I've just tried, stunning captures really. Congrats
Downloaded your captures>>Very Satisfied, but the neighbors might disagree...lol:))
Thank you a lot for fishing this out of the cloud!
Hi, thanks for the review, very accurate! A question about the color of the body: until 3:57 it seems to be a very deep blue, while after 3:58 it appears green. Is it a changing color, according to the light of the room?
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.
I really love these captures. Well done, and great playing and demo'i g as usual!
It's you! The answer to finding the gems is you (and people like you) who demo all these amazing sounds (thank you). There'd be no point in me downloading 3000 captures because after 3 they'd all sound the same to me... Also, I think this is just what I need for Hurts so good :)
I'm trying!
Will you share your favorite captures overall?
Love it, will try this capture
Thanks! That capture really will cut through any mix! It’s got that right in your face sound. I sure as heck didn’t see this capture either!
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.
