Excellent review! It's great to hear from a pro who has lived extensively with the pedal. I have been contemplating getting a QC for a while, and hearing your experience with it answered a lot of questions for me. I am currently using Tonex as my pedal platform, and running drive/mod pedals around it, so hearing how you integrated outboard pedals was especially helpful! Sounds like it will work for me.
Actually you can buy third party packs for Fractal. Your thoughts on the QC mirror mine. I’ve had mine since day one and haven’t missed tube amps or my other modellers since.
I too have been using the quad for 2 years playing mostly country, theres a lot I wish was better but the size and function winning out over others... Can i check out your patches on the cloud?
The ongoing development of this device really is the weak link. There's so much potential there, such a great UI and amazing sounds. Helix is now so massively outdated in terms of hardware but it remains relevant because they're constantly updating it with useful features and awesome new devices. The most frustrating bit with QC is that they could make very large useability gains without having to add new amps or anything like that. Just button press flexibility, more EQ block options and additional EQ options for capture blocks would solve so many people's problems.
From one Fink to another: Thank you Dustyn, that was very informative!
I love my QC , still remember watching your intro video.
Thanks for all you do for the QC Community
Long term usage reviews are very. precious !!!
Love your pedalboard setup 👍🏼

It isn't controversial to talk about the issues you've had with the unit. Please continue to do so if anything else comes up.

If you havent tried ndsp’s other plugins def give the Plini x a try

I agree 💯
The QC interface seriously needs to label the icons. It’s 2025… do we really need to memorize 100+ icons??? Not ideal….
