I think this is the best demonstration of this product yet! You're awesome Nate!
@@robcruz8519 Thanks, Rob! Much appreciated. :)
This looks absolutely awesome!!!!!!
This is super cool thanks for another great video
Finally!! A bass demo for this game changing modeler. Thanks brother! Always smokin’!
And this is why we all wanted Nate Navarro to demo this beast! Not only was his playing outstanding, as usual, but he covered exactly what most of us wanted to see. Thanks for the fantastic demo(you could've made it twice as long and it would've just been twice as awesome, ;-) )!
Thank you! :)
Great playing, good sir!
For a bass player, I suppose. ;) Thanks Glenn!
Devin Townsend chose well. 😊
Glenn congratulating a Bass player, need to screen capture this.
Thank you fore this clear, and great presentation of the QC.The best I've seen for bass players till now 🙏
It's amazing how much effort you put in explaining the bass and gear u demo 👍
Outstanding demo, Nathan!
Expert and professional showcasing of tone setting and functions as usual. Definitely an all in one piece of gear. So many options built into one rig!
Unreal tool- so “want” is an understatement. This is what bassists needed and the technology is here. And your playing is quite awesome (serious ear candy- your tone and techniques killlllllllllllll!).
This looks pretty awesome. Great demo and playing as always!
Thank you for the upload man. Seriously great to hear these pedals from a bass players perspective.
I wanna get my funk sounds to the next level
Great demo as always! QC is impressive!
Nate, you've done it again! Amazing
Amazing playing and excellent review as always. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you make it easy to understand the QC!
Great demo, man!! 🔥🔥🔥
This is a GREAT video!! Can’t wait for mine to arrive!
Thanks for this great video, Nate! I've been considering a Quad Cortex for a while. The recent updates and your demo, while you made it a couple of years ago, are what has sold me.
Thanks a ton! I'm glad you found the demo helpful, and I really appreciate the tip. Enjoy your QC!
@@NateNavarro I received delivery of the QC yesterday and it's just awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. :)
Always time in my day to watch this channel.
Nathan I totally dig that brand new Spector multi scale bass so sick
You're right, neural capture is INSANE
Great demo! Thanks!
I swear to god you must be a species from another planet. Fantastic player, articulate and almost robotic when describing this pedal. Ive seen your other videos. Amazing! I have subscribed.
Thank you for the simple explanations, can't wait to receive my Quad Cortex!
I love how this device has made it possible to bootleg pedals lol
Bruh for like 3 grande it does
For someone who works in a music shop, so do I. 👀
Well so far only distortions and overdrives and occasional fuzz but I do hope it can capture some of the other kinds of pedals so I can leave them in studio.
Great review!!
The last few days of QC videos have assured me I made the right choice in buying it. I can't wait to get it in the mail.
Great demo!
This thing is next level!!!
I couldn't tell if you were talking about the product or the playing lol
@@henrybangerter9710 I would say they're both next level for sure!
Damn, this is insane! Simple and easy to use!
That's it! I am pulling the trigger on it and that's because of you and your fantastic demo man! I kept saying to myself that's completely overkill and I already have a full pedalboard with a hx stomp but it weighs more than 17 kg/~ 40lbs bulky and not that practical at all but Now!! I can have my amp+cab mod and all my pedals in one single enclosure ! I'm impressed and Sold 😃 thanks Nate! And thanks Neural DSP for providing us with such great products!
Great video. I am a newer Bass VI player(about a year, guitar for like 20 years) and this thing especially with new update is so freakin nice. I love air pushed from an amp but I also love traveling light. Haha. It’s uncanny how amazing this is.
Brooooo this was sick!!!
This is a beautiful piece of equipment.
awesome playing!!!!
Really well done demonstration. No muss, no fuss, just get right into it and explain what the unit can do and how.
Sweet playing, holy shit. (sounds are awesome, too)
Man that first piece in the opening demo needs to be longer. That was such a tease. Very cool short bit.
badass demo!
Thanks! :)
Thanks greatly for this vid!!!
The 1st 1 minute is enough! Thanks for showcasing non distortion capabilities using fishman fluence using Spector
Fantastic possibilities!
Exactly ! not a single dislike.
Appreciated Nate :)
Really nicely done demo! Plus, no tacky big headphones or microphones in view (other youtubers take note) 😂 Thank you Sir 🤘🏼😊
VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! I need one
Thank you Nathan
amazing , just the best ultimate pedal and amp
very helpful!
That neural capture is just crazy
Awesome pedal🤑
Thanks for putting out a bass specific demo of this! Can't wait to play it myself 🤘🏽
I'm going to the guitar store, buying capturing and returning every pedal they got
Haha! Sounds like a plan 👌
Orrrrrr.......hear me out. We buy this....go to a guitar store and ask to demo pedals but as we "demo," we take the Quad Cortex out and then capture the pedals and then put them back being like "nahh not interested."
@@robertf1309 can u just do it and upload captured pedals to torrent? XDD
@@Bestuszew We could potentially do that. But this way is funnier and more of a troll move
It's the pedal to end all pedals.
VERY COOL !!!
Love the ( Snaky) funky groove.. !!
Perfectly presented as always. Any chance you would share those few presets you ran through with the jazz bass?
DOOD!!! I so want one of these.. Kinda outta budget for me right now tho.. So maybe someday.. But something i can afford is subscribed to your channel Nate.. You my Bass Playn brother are a total Bad Ass on a Bass.. Its almost Ridiculous , lol ... I could watch and listen to you shred a Bass for hours.. You have truly earned my Respect as a Bass Player Nate.. I thank you for sharing you undeniable gift with the world.. Keep doing what you do, it makes people smile.. well i sure did at least.. And that's not a bad thing right.. Rock On my Bass Playn Brother!!! \m/ " " \m/
Man iam living in Germany i am looking always your video You play awesome. Thank you very much for guiding . This quad cortex iam trying to understand cool
awesome stany funk bass line!
PLC ladder programming on touch screen. Nice!
Fantastic… Thanks for sharing..! 👍😊🍻🇺🇸
subscribed after 20 seconds
Good stuff and great demo play, I guess I will keep use my BNX or pandora.....
Bro the neural capture wtffffffff
It really got me
WOOOOOWWWW YOURE MY INSPIRATIO N
Great demo as always! How would you compare the Quad Cortex to a Source Audio Ecosystem Pedalboard?
you probably sold a ton of these to lot of bassists. awesome demo nathan, as usual
Great demo! Which mode on the Fluence were the cleaner clips done on; 1 and/or 2?
Man those pedals make basses sound so damn good! Obviously I would just have it on a 👋 setting 😂
Hi Nate,
awesome and very informative video. One question: In your view, what would be a sensible FRFR speaker solution for this device? I see that you use a bunch of cabs from Genzler. Could you please tell me its exact type? Many thanks in advance!
Thanks for the video Nathan. Silly question, but can you load tones that you have in Parrallax or other plugins into this?
HEAD JUST EXPLODED!!!!!
this is how you demo new gear!!!!!!
Great video. I hear something about glitches or dropouts when switching between presets. Have you experienced that?
Thank you thank you thank you...
Nate
Many thanks for the awesome vid
I’m on the back order list at Sweetwater for the QC
I’m also on the back order list for the Darkglass ADAM
After watching this video, I’m canceling my back order for the ADAM
The $500 usd I’ll save by not purchasing the ADAM, I’ll use towards buying the QC
Yes it’s bookoo more bucks, but when your look into the infinite amount of things that the QC can accomplish, purchasing the QC is a no brainer
I need to mention that I also watched your great video on the Darkglass ADAM
Kindest regards
Mike
Everything you show me is awesome and I want it all
Your to good!!
Great vid man! You captured a pedal in this case, in what format did it get stored? Does it turn into a preset or does it turn into an amp or effects block? How can you mix and match captured sounds with the stock sounds?
It turns into a block that you can place anywhere in the chain just like the other amp/effects blocks
With you chops you could cover Thank You Scientist. Great basslines and plenty of groove.
WOOOO
Hey, Nate! Which FF bass do you recommend between the Spector and NG3 for someone who will probably only be able to get one or the other?
Insane..
That "Hysteria" preset was jaw-dropping. This is what happens when companies like Line 6 try to ride a product for 6 years or more... someone else comes along, and drinks their milkshake.
Only a machine could use this machine
Waaw the funk filter
This is the end.....my only friend the end......amazing piece of hardware.
I just checked the price, its more than my kidneys worth 🥵
Great video. Is the ADAM preset you used on the factory setup or did you capture it?
Thanks, Darren! That was a capture from my ADAM pedal. I'll share it on Cortex Mobile.
i'm impressed. I don't know if i'm $1700 impressed.
I mean, if you compare the price of this singular floor unit to the prices of the real world counterparts that it contains, I'd say it's worth it. Plus this is the same price as the Kemper Stage, The Line6 Helix, though significantly more expensive than the Headrush.
my credit card company is about to be impressed
Roiyte!
I thought so at one point, but i'm mainly a guitarist and it is amazing for no amp for both my guitar and bass gigs!!
Now they’re over $1800 for the same release model
Nathan! Do you have any tips for how to make the double thumb technique less sound more even? Whenever I do it there's always such a heavy emphasis on the downstrokes, especially at higher tempos. Sick video and tones!
Thanks, man! Yeah, try these out:
Experiment with different double thumb positions along the neck. I usually double thumb at the last couple frets so that the downstrokes and upstrokes both smack/snap the string against the frets with around the same intensity. Double thumbing over the neck pickup, and less often the bridge pickup, can give good results too, but usually less aggressive.
Compression and/or distortion will help things sound bigger and more even.
@@NateNavarro Thanks so much! And for avoiding hitting the thicker strings on the upstroke, is it just a matter of good left hand muting, or should I adjust the angle of my stroke?
awesome!!!!! maybe you could do disco ulysses by vulfpeck sometime
How future proof is this device? looks amazing
That price tag though 😲
Me with the Quad Cortex in the nearest guitar center: Gotta catch 'em all!
WOW
WOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!
When will you be sharing these presets Nate?!
Very nice sounds. Did you have the same software revision as Paul Davids demo unit? His video shows big drop outs between patch changes (I know that is common on high end modellers). I'd like to hear if there are any dropouts when changing within a Scene. The Helix is very fast for Snapshot changes and so is the Axe3. For me that is the key as to whether it is usable live or not.
Doug made a statement on this , apparently that’s already been sorted out I.e drop outs in between patches .
Apparently PD’s video was shot some time ago.
@@attillal4821 That's good to know. Do you have a link? Thank you.
There’s also more stuff in that facebook group and on the discord server . Doug seems quite respondent in the discord and TGP.
The thing I think is pretty relevant is that these bits of feedback the Paul David’s and Rhett Schull suggest are great for spotting over sights or suggestions a lot of us can agree with . I’m pretty confident the Feedback given is listened to and addressed in fixes and communication on or around issues. I know everyone wants a pristine unit that works without flaws but you need beta testers and reviews to find the issues or suggestions, support back ideas , and discover stuff that needs fixing .
I wouldn’t be bothered if they shipped the unit now and they were expecting us to find issues . And I wouldn’t mind waiting either so a select few can beta test and bug find , I would support a delay for this very reason.
@@douglascastro320 cheers Doug.. thanks for clarifying . . To be honest I’m so used to using patches/presets to change settings I got used to to it. I have to say though on my mooer ge300 changing from one preset to next was pretty good , unless the preset was in a different bank .
However I think the scenes mode will be exactly what I need to do in order to do what I’m doing presently !
Again thanks for the reply. Just proves my point that your very active in the community, it does make me ( and others) very confident through the support you give and will continue to give once the cortex is released .👍
Hi! Do you know if it's possible, when recording, to record clean from one output, and with effects from another output?
Trying to explain a little better: from the same input, I would split the signal: one clean going from output 1, for example, to a preamp; the other one I would apply effects, and going from output 2 to another preamp. Is that possible? Thank you!
F**K the presets sound GOOD!!
I was lowkey waiting for Nate to break out the ole drill...
My genuine question is about the feel. The vibe. The sensation of playing it. Don't get me wrong the sounds are really cool! But I can't imagine playing this into audio monitors is going to be very good. Are you using a power amp with tubes? Just curious.
I've probably missed it in another video, but what's the deal with the thing on the upper horn of the natural finish bass?
I would love to see if QC can replicate Source Audio's foldback distortion like on the ultrawave or mulitwave distortion.
