From one side yes it is, but who may offer to themselves let's say soldano or Mesa/boogie? ) and who really needs that in terms of living space might be quite small ? :)
@@Od1thPerfectly said! I’d love to have for example a SLO 100 one day. But just the amp, without the cab and pedals is 3x the price of Quad Cortex here in Europe. QC is great value product.
Same price as the Helix or Kemper. Cheaper than the Fender Tonemaster or competing Fractal products. It really isn't expensive for what it does. Only the Fractal stuff you could argue offers more, but that's a lot more money.
I might be wrong, but I think Tone wise they are the same, it's the processing that's different. So you'll run out of DSP quicker to add effects etc. But again, I'm not positive on that.
I'm definitely interested in the QC. I'm a fairly new guitarist, having been learning for almost 3 years, so big spends on gear hasn't been something I've considered just yet. At the moment I'm just using a Positive Grid Spark 2 as it serves all the needs I have for practicing and running a music therapy program at work. But I've been jumping between a Kemper and the QC as future purchases for a while, the Kemper obviously because it's half the price of the QC, but I worry about ongoing support and possibilities of new products from Kemper making the original obsolete, so the QC has been more tempting despite the cost.
You could definitely get a quad if you wanted. But with just playing for 3 years makes me think you probably don't have a power amp or an frfr cab you could playthrough yet. But if money isn't an option I would say go for it.
@@metalmoto3275 Would definitely need more research into power-amp and cab options, even studio monitors since I'm mostly playing at home for now anyway haha.
I own a Kemper now, it’s not going to go obsolete they just released new effects onto it. Also just cause something is newly released doesn’t mean previous versions are going to suddenly sound bad. The QC dropped and the Kemper still sounds as good as it did before (whether the QC sounds better is subjective since they are different). Kemper makes power amp versions which is a big plus for some, it’s also got a bigger control interface for your foot switches (which may or may not matter for you). QC has the most modern UI. You won’t go wrong with either, there are tons of capability in either product and you’ll have to put in time to learn either one to use its maximum potential to get what you want out of it. Plenty of artists use Kemper and several use QC so both are very much proven. Just do your research to see which one you’ll benefit from the most. Personally, after doing research when QC came out, the Kemper is what I prefer for live use due to various functions that other products don’t have that I found very appealing. That is why I didn’t hop on the QC “Kemper killer” bandwagon when it released.
Sorry for the book up above, for monitoring, studio monitors are basically the best way to listen to your device you’ll get the best results across various settings vs if you used an FRFR you’ll get a different results.
@@ejw3006 May I ask what functions the Kemper has that you found appealing for live use? I don't really plan to start performing any time soon, at least not amped up, but it would be good to hear user experience.
whats the thought process behind sidechaining the plugin doubler with the gate being the trigger as opposed to the input? I've been trying to wrap my head around the sidechain stuff. Always appreciate your knowledge.
Hey Keyan im a new subscriber I love your content but I just realized that you have tracks called arrhythmia, arrest, and even heart related imagery do you have a history with these? im asking because I personally have a history with SVT and PACs
Do you think the qc has passed the axe fx at this point? The qc seems super user friendly but I still see a lot of people say axe fx has them beat in the effects department
yeah, axe FX has better FX and much more in depth amp modelling. Stuff like changing tubes, rectifier diodes, speaker impedance curves and a much more detailed and extensive amp and FX library. Stuff that i use daily like the tri stereo chorus just can't be found in the quad cortex. Quad cortex is pretty good with drives and fuzzes because of the captures but when it comes to modulation, delays reverbs and that stuff much more detailed in axe FX.
QC is super solid and sounds fantastic, but Fractal offers a lot more variety in amps and effects and also processing power, but it's also a lot more expensive. If you want to be able to quickly tweak some things on the floor, QC can't be beat.
Only 4/20 so far. I really hope they're speeding things up next year. If they port over 2 plugins per quater and don't release any new ones, it'll still take two years to get them all. That will then be 7 years after they initially announced that.
What do you guys think of the QC? Download the preset here: neuraldsp.com/cloud/p/51f3df95-b362-487b-9ef5-b9efa85742db
Keyan, your tones are always so perfect and massive and i think you set the standard for how modern metal tones should sound in context
Best content out there 🤘❤️
Man this is wnat we've been waiting for
Would love to see a vid on the midi whammy tricks for weird guitar sounds! Song is sick
Finally playing with people so splurged on a QC a week before 3.1. When I saw nameless being on it I had to buy that too lol
Just so pricey
Its so worth it

Save your money for it theb

I definitely would love to pick this unit up in the future! It's way too sick
Line 6 Helix has been doing this for years
How are you plugging into your DAW/Interface? Through 1/4", XLR, or direct with USB as an interface? Thanks!
Tone wise, what’s the advantage over the FM3/FM9 ?
I might be wrong, but I think Tone wise they are the same, it's the processing that's different. So you'll run out of DSP quicker to add effects etc. But again, I'm not positive on that.
I can’t wait for the Petrucci and Nolly plugins to be good to go…QC is the gift that keeps on giving

At the price. If i upgrade my fm3. Itll be an fm9. Or an axe iii.

Did you actually record with the doubler or is it just for general use?
Are all of the Neural plugins available on the QC now?
Not yet. As of right now its just Gojira, Plini, SLO, and Nameless
Only 4/20 so far.
I really hope they're speeding things up next year.
If they port over 2 plugins per quater and don't release any new ones, it'll still take two years to get them all.
That will then be 7 years after they initially announced that.
