The QC has blown away my expectations. I’ve owned Mesa, Engl and H&K tube amps and a handful of digital models including an Axe fx 2 and I’ve never had better tone than I’ve achieved with the QC.
When you're using yours, besides headphones, are you using monitors for output when home or something else? I'm thinking of picking one up and thinking I could reclaim some space by getting rid of a amp head and 2x12 cabinet in the process. If you've done your own captures, is the process pretty straightforward?
I just got QC 1.5 years after I sold my first one. Back then I felt like it was missing a lot of important features but Neural DSP did one hell of a job in the past 10 months. This video helps a lot with navigating the QC and does a great job showing a great use case.
You are the sound god my man! All the feel and knowledge about HOW to play these sounds makes you one of the most versatile guitarists out there, keep doing what you're doing!
This video blew my mind. I learned so much about making presets from this. I have struggled with how to properly use stereo and this answered so many questions. Thank you!!
Like an angry Hornets nest all buzzing in wartime unison to the sounds of first life bursting into flower in the waters of a giant underground cave, I love the contrasts of Bea's tones... always interesting, always badass.
Funny thing about this vid: I've been using the QC since the day it came out. Everything he did, I knew. But it was still so inspirational to see you do it. Just a nice overvieuw of how to set up a great sound. And the playing is soooo tasty. I guess that's the thing that is lacking when I'm playing.... the licks. The Runs. Thanks man, very inspiring.
@@MintyBitesBack I'm only about 5 hours into the switch, and I'm going from the Rack + Control but so far I like the sounds and especially captures - I even captured some of my Helix tones! Will be much easier to use live too due to increased portability. The few cons/annoyances I have so far is the boot-time and managing the IO-settings, but that might be because I'm so used to how the Helix works. Also initially prefer how the workflow with splits work on the Helix, but it might just be down to routine. Edit: Also prefer the control software and easy import of presets via the Cloud to downloading and manually importing presets on the Helix by a large margin!
@@MintyBitesBack I did the same mainly for the size reduction and power increase. My Previous rig was the helix floor paired with a HX stomp on a pedaltrain metro 20, the new board is much easier to carry around and somehow has power left over.
Thank you for the quick tutorial! I had no idea that I needed to pan the L and R settings on the splitter to achieve that extra wide sound. Time to go into my presets and have some fun.
I don’t even have a quad cortex and this was so enjoyable to watch! You’re playing, tones and building expertise is awesome! Looking forward to snagging one soon and as always, thanks for all the value you had to all of us out here in Guitar Land
Thanks for making this Rabea, this video was immensely helpful. Following along with this taught me more about my QC than probably any other video I've watched to date
I enjoy when you build from scratch. It is really really helpful to those who think there must be a secret. When you added the delay the spread really opened up and it was all smiles !!
This is incredible! Thank-you Rabea for taking us through this! I just got a QC this week and absolutely love it. Super helpful stuff when setting up a stereo rig and managing the CPU load. Keep up the great work and playing!
What's up!! Man I just wanted to say I just picked up a pack of your picks!! They're awsome! Thanks for designing these!! I've finally found the pick I've been searching for all this time😎
100% agree. The last amp I bought was the Archon 100 back in 2017, once the quad cortex came out I haven’t used it since. No one in the audience can tell the difference but my back can for sure tell the difference from lugging all that shit around. If you play at home the stl and ndsp plugins are amazing. The feel of a real amp and cab is definitely amazing but totally impractical with today’s technology
Wow. Did not understand 17:05 on my first (skim) watch, but a fantastic insight into the workings of the QC. For anyone who didn't understand as I didn't: earlier in the video he says top two rows are 1/2 CPU, bottom two are other 1/2. So here he's used too much of the 1/2 CPU dedicated to the top rows, so by moving blocks to the bottom rows they get to use the second 1/2 of CPU reserved for these.
Awesome set up, my band are running two guitars through the quad with automatic scene changes running throughout the set.Instant changes and the tones most importantly are spot on with next to no latency. I love the Quad, I don't think there is any other unit that comes close to having the same amount of functional and practical routing options for guitarists and young bands with small cars!
Thank you! It is a good time to a guitar player. This video is pretty much more inspiring and sonically pleasing to listen to than the Spotify top 10… I have a Fm9, and it is awesome… but this vid gives me guitar gas…
Anyone else who gets paralyzed by the amount of options we have these days? Should I buy an amp, a modeler, a multi FX? Should I have a modeler for practice and an amp for gigging or all at once. Endless thinking of what would get me the best value for my money and researching it. I think I will just go with all of them 😂
I'd say if you are able to achieve all the sounds that you're after with a simple compact analog rig, it's almost always gonna be the better option. If you like the ability to play with a lot of different sounds or complex rigs, the digital stuff gives you the most amount of options and flexibility. The thing with digital is each situation has a different way to monitor it properly. You might need a stage sound live or at rehearsal, so an additional FR cab or an amp loop return, if not a decent in ear rig, and also good speakers at home.
This sounds great 👍🏻 I been making ambient sound like these with Revv in Helix and it's crazy good! I love the dynamic I'm hearing in your 🎸 response though 💯👍🏻👌🏻
To conserve processing power with stereo rigs in the QC, I like to also route row 2 into 4 and put my amps and cabs on either rows 1&4 or 2&3 to split them amongst the CPU cores. To get a more even stereo image in terms of level and dynamics when using two different amps, I also put a slower mono compressor behind each cab to have dual mono instead of a stereo instance after the mixer that sums the left and right paths.
Beyond the excellent Quad Cortex info in this, I love the tune under the "what we're doing" section of the vid... which I believe is the same tune I first heard you play as part of your IKEBE Shibuya demo. Is this something you plan to release as a full song (or have you already done so somewhere)? I think it's absolutely killer!
Thank you so much for doing QC content man! I learned a lot from your workflow. Can you also share how you approach dialing in the input gain of the QC for various guitars/basses?
Could you do a similar video on making base tones? Of course your guitar tones are sick but all of your bass presets are wicked and would love to see you break it down. Cheers 🤘🏼
Holy Hell that sounds so good! Is it just the QC because that’s the best sound I’ve heard out of one of these units so far besides Plini. I’ll have mine this week. Are there any things added beside the QC that I missed ?
Thank you....very cool watching someone who really knows what they are hearing, making tweaks to everything...quite an education. So live you always use scenes within a song for seamless switching correct? Never switch to a different preset?
Thank you for the kind words! And correct, but The only time I change presets is for the different songs In the set. I usually create one preset per song
@@RabeaMassaad thanks for that...I got my QC recently and I was a Kemper user so little bit of a learning curve. This thing sonically is amazing. Going to use it on my gigs this weekend. Wish me luck! Cheers brother.
Loved the video. I would of also liked to see how you use this in a live environment. Are you running it into a Power Amp that feeds a cabinet onstage or are you just taking direct into an IEM Rack? Genuinely curious.
I just ordered an EngL ironball special edition. Has cab IRS. Have u tried one. I even bought a new computer. I'm learning how to use digital. I play an Ernie ball music man. Love your music and personality.
Here is how to simulate the amp in a room sound from a modeller. Start with a big PA speaker, what counts here is decibles. Tune the modeller to get as close as you can to the sound of your amp, A/B them if you aren't that good at working that out (in which case stop your bitchin because you are complaining about something you can't even hear) then here's the secret: Put a high dB mid horn on the PA speaker aimed at your head. Of course add a seperate volume control to it, you don't need it as loud as the PA speaker, just loud enough to give you that nasty mid spike that you seem to miss and that your audience wishes weren't there. Job done, crank it up until you get loud enough to get past your tinittus and get your trouser legs vibrating and you've nailed it. Just keep in mind that setting will sound like ass in a mix or when recorded but hey, you want the amp in the room sound right so those concerns are living somewhere around the concerns for your tinittus meaning they didn't even make the list. Bea: you just keep doing what you're doing, it is glorious, this was only for a your entertainment. To the not Bea's: Give it a go and see if I'm right, you'll thank me even if your audience does not.
Super great video Rabea! Can I ask you a quick question? Would you still use this setup on a gig that has 2 guitarists? Wondering if having that stereo image would get buried/lost in the mix with another guitarist on stage. Thanks! :)
I always enjoy playing with your sounds. Thank you for sharing them. I have a little question: how do you manage to use them live when most venues run on mono ? Cause when I test them on this situation the sound is , as expected, very far from the stereo one. Cheers
Godlike Rabea! Those sounds are from another world. I wonder, if it'd be possible and if there'd be enough CPU power left, to add a vocal path (comp, eq, reverb amaybe pitch correction) on row 2 in this scenario? Thanks in advance. =)
This is amazing, any chance you're thinking of doing a similar idea but for using the QC in the studio? Building out a preset to record an entire song with
This was awesome Rabea! I would like to know if you think this would sound good as you have it set up through my two katana mk2 100’s as a stereo live rig? I would love to get it sounding as you have here. Do you think the speakers in the katana’s would work to achieve this colossal soundscape you have created here? Thank you😊
Is that the fancy limited edition one? Also, my first guitar was a Gretsch that I got rid of through the years. Just picked up a silver electromatic jet a couple days ago :)
Thanks Bea! What I wonder is how to get channel 1, 2 and 3 in there if you need clean, mid and high gain from one single patch. I guess there is no option than to run a mono amp setup to consume less CPU and just rely on the post effects for stereo. If you have a (real) 3 channel amp and would like to replicate that in one patch, you have to get creative.
I Run 2 kempers at once, with 2 mission stereo cabs on each side, to say that sound is huge at bedroom volume is an understatement, What I am thinking here out loud is if I master salved my mission cabs (to make a 4X12) and ran ONE QC as Bea's stereo rig would it cut it and be better. Ah F it, probably not. could be a huge sound with a stereo 4X12, but the blend of amps running 2 kempers is how you get a better amp sound (blending 2 amps). Maybe it would be as good, if it is I'll report it here. I want the same big sound , the question is can I get it from ONE QC with 2 cabs as opposed to 2 cabs and 2 kempers..hmm
Hey Rabea - thanks for this! Have you totally stopped using the TC Mimiq doubler in your stereo setups? And why? Is there something similar built into QC? I use it live with two amps - so I’m curious if you have stopped doing that :)
Question about stereo setups on the QC, I've been having a tricky time finding an answer on forums and whatnot. So I followed along with this video and got a really cool heavy sound for my band! But one thing I'm curious about is if it is possible to have stereo setup for FOH, and then stereo setup through cabs on stage? I have a Powerstage 700 and that has two inputs, and two outputs. I'm the only guitarist in my band and I thought it would be cool in the future to maybe run a stereo setup at practice with 2 cabs connected to the Powerstage and then have it all set for the FOH guy at future shows we play. Would it work out if I got rid of one of the heads and cabs on the QC and just used a stereo cab sim to save CPU? Sorry if this is a stupid question, still getting familiar with modelers and digital stuff!
May be blasphemy for you but would love to see you work with the tonex and share your thoughts on sound and feel on the captures you can create compared to the quad cortex
Hey, maybe you could use like a hybrid mode, so you're not "locked" solely in scenes. Bottom line for scenes and assign top row turning pedals on/off. Kinda old school here
Hi Rabea, I would like to incorporate a real guitar box (4x12) in these preset and bypassed those two cab blocks. Just for the monitor and the feel on the stage. All other settings would stay the same for the front of house. How should I create the path to send the signal arround the cab blocks? Congrats for all your work. I'm a huge fan!!! Kind regards from Slovenia! 🙂
Rabbied: This is the best way to use the QC live!! Also Rabeaded: Never plays the QC live. Why YTebers continue to "tolerate" this type of content is beyond me. I am not dumb. I can tell live from studio. Simps will simp until the simps come home from simping.
It’s so much better than the Kemper and helix. It has the feel the sound the UI is imo the best around. Easy to set up a preset etc. No tweaking for hrs just playing. I still love a great amp and a great pedal but this is the best modeler imo.
Well, if you’re sending L/R to FOH then yeah, you’ll hear one amp on the left and one on the right, which creates a nice thicker, wider tone from my experience, as the amps will have subtle differences in their response to your playing.
The QC has blown away my expectations. I’ve owned Mesa, Engl and H&K tube amps and a handful of digital models including an Axe fx 2 and I’ve never had better tone than I’ve achieved with the QC.

oh and my main-takeaway: at the end, after long time tweaking everything to the spot, you have to turn up the amp gain in every scene. xD

You can run stereo in the kemper but not two different signal chains.
C'est exactement ce grain que je cherches
Question about stereo setups on the QC, I've been having a tricky time finding an answer on forums and whatnot. So I followed along with this video and got a really cool heavy sound for my band! But one thing I'm curious about is if it is possible to have stereo setup for FOH, and then stereo setup through cabs on stage? I have a Powerstage 700 and that has two inputs, and two outputs. I'm the only guitarist in my band and I thought it would be cool in the future to maybe run a stereo setup at practice with 2 cabs connected to the Powerstage and then have it all set for the FOH guy at future shows we play. Would it work out if I got rid of one of the heads and cabs on the QC and just used a stereo cab sim to save CPU? Sorry if this is a stupid question, still getting familiar with modelers and digital stuff!
May be blasphemy for you but would love to see you work with the tonex and share your thoughts on sound and feel on the captures you can create compared to the quad cortex
Hey, maybe you could use like a hybrid mode, so you're not "locked" solely in scenes. Bottom line for scenes and assign top row turning pedals on/off. Kinda old school here
Wow..!
Hey Bea, would you please share all the signal chain details on your home studio for this video?
What's between your QC and DAW?
Hi Rabea, I would like to incorporate a real guitar box (4x12) in these preset and bypassed those two cab blocks. Just for the monitor and the feel on the stage. All other settings would stay the same for the front of house. How should I create the path to send the signal arround the cab blocks? Congrats for all your work. I'm a huge fan!!! Kind regards from Slovenia! 🙂
You’ve just sold me a QC it sounds awesome , do you use this straight to the pa direct with in ears or do you use a cab with it ? Thanks
Both! I run into the fx return of my amp through a cab, and then XLR out to front of house for our sound engineer
Rabbied: This is the best way to use the QC live!!
Also Rabeaded: Never plays the QC live.
Why YTebers continue to "tolerate" this type of content is beyond me. I am not dumb. I can tell live from studio. Simps will simp until the simps come home from simping.
it must be the amp blocks right from the gate you get a great tone
way better then any helix amp tone i think
It’s so much better than the Kemper and helix. It has the feel the sound the UI is imo the best around. Easy to set up a preset etc. No tweaking for hrs just playing. I still love a great amp and a great pedal but this is the best modeler imo.
@@Utube-s8m i'm leaning towards Quad cortex myself now thanks
BEA
great video, in the real live escenario what are the differences between making a preset in mono or in stereo
Well, if you’re sending L/R to FOH then yeah, you’ll hear one amp on the left and one on the right, which creates a nice thicker, wider tone from my experience, as the amps will have subtle differences in their response to your playing.
I forgot to mention I don’t have a quad cortex yet but would love to buy one if I can get it to sound good through my 2 Katana’s
