    Here are a couple interesting amps in the Quad Cortex that don't tend to be featured in other modelers. Aside from these, I also really rate the Mesa Boogie Lonestar for big full clean tones.

    Somehow right away, i could tell this was not coming from a Helix. This sounds so real and very pleasing. The QC rules them all IMO

      @@RyanKorea Hi. I've gone back to the stomp over a year ago. The QC was staring to annoy me if im honest. But the Stomp has been updated twice and now it sounds absolutely amazing!! On par if not better than the QC IMO. Line 6 has upped their game big time and im so glad i went back - and i plan on staying :))

    Thanks for great video re QC. So many choices, but the great cleans you highlight are super. What made this video very instructional was the tone refs. and examples of tones of great quite heavy clean users such as John Mayor, Bonamassa etc. Great job - went and build the same clean chain with 2 amps! Thanks John!

    I as general observation, I noticed that to turn off a block, you select it and turn it off from the edit screen. You can also double tap the block to toggle it on and off.

    Hello John,
    First of all, thank you for all your good videos, I've learned a lot, so thank you again 🙂...... What I write now is NOT a criticism, it is MY perception of Your sound.
    Whether it's a Line6 Helix or quad Cortex or other type of Amp Modeler/Multi-FX Processor you'll always sound like you, that's a great thing keep up the good work and thanks again.
    Best Regards

    Very cool. Thanks for sharing. The presets seem very much impacted by the pickups. I play a Music Man JP-25 and the pickups seem to be pretty hot and middy. Finding great distorting amps is easy, but getting clean ones to work with magnetic pickups of this guitar is more difficult. The acoustic sounds I get are amazing, but the only way to get cleaner electric tones without them sounding honky is with the pickup selector in the middle with the coils tapped, which can sound Tele-like. This the amps/cab in this preset might work really well for that, so thanks again.

    I've tried all these clean amps John, but keep going back to the Lone Star. It just has a character the others seem to be missing. I do keep the master high to avoid preamp clipping. The others all sound good and are quite flexible. But they seem to be missing some magic that's in the Lone Star. It could of course be the particular amps they used in the deep capture process.

    Love your tones John! I tried to create the exact preset but it doesn’t sound the same as yours. Is it because of the amp that I’m using? The output goes to my Roland jazz 120 amp.

    • @witewolfmusic1654
      @witewolfmusic1654 Рік тому

      Well… he’s probably going from his unit direct to his daw.
      If you go to a Roland you have the Roland tones… even flat. It’s not really just a power amp. Also the speakers have a color to them.
      Also the type of guitar you play through the unit is a factor. Lots of factors.
