I know you don’t have this anymore, but I curious how you ran this into your DAW. Did you just hook up to your computer via USB, or did you use another interface. You get very consistent great tone no matter what products you demo, and quite frankly, your tone is probably one of my favorites You have gotten me to back off the high gain… and I have stolen a few of your guitar licks!
Awesome again Paul. Quite fancy picking up the BB AT. How would you say its compares to the BB pre in the QC? Have heard Andy uses and old 808 at times too. Is BB you captured on the cloud thr AT btw ? Some good content mate
Question (because I know, you also have a GT1000CORE): Did you experience any noise in the loops? The GT1000CORE has terrible terrible noise in the send/return loops.
Answering my own question, because my QC arrived meanwhile. No noise issues with the loops. In fact, there's so much level control, it's amazing on the QC!
Hey! Thanks for the review. I’ve tried to connect a physical reverb pedal through the FX Loop of the Cortex, however I don’t get anwhere close the sound I usually get with my amp, it’s like it’s not working properly.. I tried everything (after then before the amp etc) but I can’t get this to work normally… can anyone help me please?
Question…. I’ve been using the QC for live shows, and also use a pedal board in addition. Should i be putting all my external overdrive/ reverb pedals thru the fx loop?! I’m trying to defeat the washed out tone you sometimes get when using a hall reverb with too much overdrive
This gives me an idea - I have a Source Audio EQ2 that has up to 8 presets available. I wonder if I could run it with the QC and control switching presets through the QC using a Midi connection....? Might just have to try this.
So Paul I realize a yr late but just catching up on more videos. Sometimes I watch them several times. I just want to say if not for you I would not have figured this out right here out re the pedals. I was doing fine until well let me add I’m a pedal addict but I am not interested in capturing them. I like switching them in n out but one was fizzy and I was uh oh and then you showed this. A simple fix. The only issue I have and btw tube amps will always come first. I have only had some great ones maybe 9? yrs and I want to enjoy them. But I wonder if you’ll ever rebuy this. To me it sounds and feels the most like an amp. The only modeler I’ve never had is the Axe Fx though I know it’s great and pros use them like yourself and btw you’re a great teacher. But the quad’s UI and sliding stuff around etc. is just easier. It’s more compact etc. the only issue I’m having is re fuzz pedals. Maybe I’m picking the wrong amps to put them in front of. I prefer a bit of slight dirt in the amp. Like a plexi ish sound and with the quad so far I haven’t gotten the fuzz sound right yet. Again, may be the amp I’m choosing. Again, thank you for these tutorials. They are the best on utube imo. Cheers. Oh I forgot to say I bought the BB AT pedal because of you. I had the regular one yrs ago but after watching you use it on several videos I bought one..again.
Hi Jack, I might get another at some point but I’m so happy with the Axe Fx it might not be for a while. I imagine that neural will sort out the fuzz issue as a lot of people have the same complaints. I agree the interface on the QC is great but it doesn’t sound or feel as good as the AXEFX which does take fuzz pedals really well.
Hi Paul, I've got a question on levels inside the QC. I've got a vintage Fender CS Strat with low output pickups. I'm having trouble finding the "correct" input level. To get the signal close to the threshold line in the input settings - as you describe here - I have to set it to around 20dB, which seems too much to me. Also, if I set the level this high, isn't that like having a boost pedal on all the time? It bugs me, because I want all the blocks (pedals, amps, sims) to behave "correctly", basically as if I were plugged into the actual device. If I set the level too high, everything might become overly saturated. Next issue with the levels: I'm sending a mono out via out 3L to my Marshall SV20 (which I love as well btw :D) and I'm unsure what level to set there. Do you have any piece of advice for me? Thanks in advance and your videos are great! Frank
@@TheStudioRats I had a little correspondence with the Neural DSP support guys. The tiny bar/threshold represents -9dB and they're suggesting to set the input level to around -12dB.
Why? 1699 euros for messing again with pedals. they still have to sort out their sh@@t with IR loading and other stuff like no plate reverb. This has nothing to do with your review, great as always.
And they have. They’re constantly upgrading it. It feels and sounds best out of the Kemper and helix. For me, great amps first and pedals but this is a great unit. Huge easy to use screen. Best interface in the business.
Brilliant, I've been looking for something that explained this routing. Thank you!
The G7 is the special sauce most guitarist forget about. Add it before OR after amp/cab. Nice tones Paul

just what I needed!
sounds really killer.
Great vid, as allways!! I miss an Octavio Fuzz in the QC, so I'm about to buy one. But, do you prefer to put that one in the loop as well?

Sorry I missed the original message Franky. Glad it’s all ok Franky

Did you capture the GE-7? I guess one should be able to capture this at different settings for different guitars and use those for custom presets?

As far as I know you need to set the levels close to the line. I’m afraid I’ve never plugged it into an amp as I always run it di’d

Share preset? Thanks!
I’m still trying to find out if you can use a wahwah pedal in conjunction with the Quad Cortex ???
Yes you can now. Today there was another update as well. 1.41. Sep 2022.
is there a vst where u can control it like axe fx?
Why wouldn't you just use the EQ in the QC, instead of another external pedal
Even better if boss did a 12 band eq

Great patch, could you please accept me on cortex mobile and share?
