This is basically the exact same setup I used in Italy last week. Just the QC and my Dual Fusion Pedal with a boost. It was an amazing rig.

Maybe Sca-Taylor Instruments can make you a foldable electric harp! I'm sure it'd at least be pretty ... metal.

When you went to the basement I INSTANTLY knew why. Georgia has been melting lately. The basement is the only place of solace for us in our home right now.

Been using my quad cortex for all amps and fx now since October and it's been incredible! I never fail to get compliments on my tone at shows. I run it into front of house and also in a real cab for some stage volume and it's just perfect

This is a definite improvement from the previous small fly rig I had something similar with the line 6 but now I’m glad to have the quad cortex

Yes! I’ve been waiting for more tour vlogs to come out. I’ve been rewatching all of the old ones

Glad to see you’re coming around again to the QC. I love mine and super versatile for the job you’re needing it for! Hope you enjoy. Have fun with your tour dates!!

The Quad Cortex has totally blown me away. I find it much better than the Helix I was using previously. I plug in and just can’t stop playing through it.

Great video! These are my favorite videos that you make because I always go through trials, tribulations, and frustration while setting up a new pedal board and it’s nice to see someone with a lot more experience than me going through the same and coming out on the other side with everything just the way you envisioned it.

Just put together a QC Metro 16 board this weekend! Love it

That shot of your flight case 🤯 Thanks for sharing this process 🙏 One of the only subscriptions where I consistently watch the ENTIRE video.

Hey Rhett, can you do a follow up to this video and let us know how it went? What went well, what went wrong, how you dealt with different venues/setups, and would you do this again?

I just finished rebuilding my pedalboard. Managed to fit 10 pedals on a normal/small pedaltrain. Love watching these videos to see the things I didn't think of.

Nice work Rhett. I've been using my QC as a multi-instrument rig. My frontman and I both plug in and I take care of all the song/scene changes and instrument routing. Love the versatility!

Awesome vid! If you get something small like a Mooer Baby Bomb, you don't even need an amp. Something like that will power whatever cab is at the venue for stage volume just for your own monitoring and you can go direct to FOH which is IMO the best way to use units like the Quad Cortex anyway, since it's got amazing amps and sounds and you normally want to color it as less as you can with an actual amp

how do you send FX + Amp sim + Cab sim to FOH at the same time you are sending FX + Moore Baby Boomer to Cabinet for monitoring? Thanks

Good on you man...getting out again should be fun! Pre-ordered and hope that you are able to enjoy a sting of incredible shows. Keep shining. Peace.

Excited to see more backstage journals

Love my QC! Anxious to hear how it works for you on your and looking forward to any captures you release/share!

I hope you will bringing back your Backstage Journal series. It is the reason I started following you a few years back. Love it!

Really cool video Rhett! Icing on the cake is it all fitting into one case. Looked cleeeean. That should have been the thumbnail!

Great fricken video. Looking forward to hearing your opinion once the rig is flying. Ive been using my QC for a year now and love it. Learn something new on it daily.

Thanks for linking those cable tie downs, I’ve been looking for the right ones for a while now.

Thats a great room /quick slap sound you have on the basic tone testing. killer

You found my bag of Cioks cables! Been looking all over for them.

Dope demonstration of the QC! Seems like the perfect tool for you.

Hey Rhett. I saw the first iteration of this video when you made it and it inspired me to make an ampless rig. I have been ampless for almost as long as that video has been out and my back is VERY THANKFUL Thanks for the inspiration my dude. Keep kicking names and taking ass 🤘

Tone with that guitar at the end is absolutely furious!

I love the Overhive from Beetronics it is awesome, such a unique sounding overdrive 🔥

How great that you are touring again!!!

Awesome Rhett. I have the QC on a Metro 20 with 2 Dunlop Expression pedals. It all fit perfect and is all I need. Cheers my man.

Love how you solve connection probs. cool video.

Love the Backstage videos. Glad to see your going to be touring, miss those videos.

Literally just got a QC and was brainstorming how to put it on a pedalboard.. Great timing!

Rhett, I downloaded your Cub capture today and it sounds great! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome vid Rhett! Looking forward to seeing y'all in Columbus OH!

I play bass and I just switched to one of those Tech 21 fly rig boxes. Love it! I got tired of lugging around a pedalboard.

Quad cortex with a bluguitar amp 1 is super powerful and direct too. I always use my bluguitar into a two notes captor x that way you get the power amp interaction.

Awesome you’ll be in TX, maybe I’ll get to see you perform.

My favorite small rig is my buddy's rig who plays out weekly in Orlando, FL. An OCD overdrive into a 50w Silver Jubilee head balanced precariously on top of an ancient Epiphone 1x12 cab, mic'd with an SM58 and a delay pedal in the loop. Covers everything from funk to hard rock and metal. Two pedals, a head, a cab. 🤘🏼

I hope you and your band come someday to Germany Rhett! I would love to watch you playing live in concert. All the best.

I think it really depends on what suits your needs as a player & what you feel you can get away with based on the situation you are playing in? Mostly this just comes down to personal preferences & comfort level. Well done & Rock on!

I see you will be at the KY state fair in August. Welcome to the Bluegrass state. I spent many hours at concerts there in the late 1960’s and 70’s. Even though I am 70 years old, I enjoy your KZread channel, thanks, CC

Congrats on finally getting back to gigging!

Yes! More tour vlogs coming up!

I've been touring the Fractal FM3 for about a year and a half and it's been perfect. Just that and a single expression pedal accomplish my yearly tour schedule with no issues.

Pretty sure the FM3/9 would do the trick for him. But, he did a vid a while back on his Axe FX III. Said he'd had issues adjusting to editing on the front panel. I'm assuming since they're extremely similar front panel layouts, he'd have issues with either floor unit as well. I'll admit, I'm not great at editing via anything other than Axe Edit either, but I think given time to adjust I'd make it work, but maybe his day is busy doing other stuff. That and if he's already got a QC, probably easier for him to just give that a shot and see if it works instead trying to purchase or order an FM3/9, then get it dialed in before he has to head out. Who knows though.

$2500 "brains" pedal, $2000 amp...Rhett is slumming' it out there again! 😜 Great ideas as always Rhett. Keep em coming!

It’s great to see that more and more touring musicians are using the QC. It’s a testament to how good a product is when even Dave Mustaine made the switch.

hey Rhett, awesome video! thanks a lot for uploading your captures - the 'RS' ones sound great with my strat. And (I think it's the 'Highwatt' version) gives me this warm, vintage'y, not driven but not perfectly clean tones.

Awesome vid man!

Very nice video, Rhett. You are a really good educator. You would be good in a workshop type environment, teaching people how to do things and walking them through processes. Meanwhile, your sounds are pretty sweet. That Quad appears to be a top-notch device. I wish you good fortune with your upcoming shows. You always sounded excellent working with Noah. I have to say, you got me appreciating fuzz ! Your stage fuzz sound is really full and lush and complements the band mix beautifully. Rgds.

All the best on the gigs! Now, when you get back home, tell us how the QC worked out please, how you ran it, were you happy with the way it sounded and worked, etc. Take care!

Nice! I did something like this but with a hex stomp xl instead

I’m glad you’re using the quad cortex! I’ve had one for a year now and no one seems to be making much content for it. I like it but it just doesn’t have the community that the helix has

Wondering how this panned out and thought I'd share a little something with you as well. I remembered the soft shaper trick you shared about the kemper in the effects section so, after much testing the cortex in front of my kemper I decided to do a capture of the soft shaper and it works pretty good, not quite the same. Maybe if you give it a try you can get it where you want it. Cheers!

Rhett, Could you please show us exactly how you capture an amp with your Quad Cortex?

Just found it! Austin with Billy Currington. I’ll be ordering my tics tomorrow. 🤟🏻

Been using my QC for almost a year now and honestly it get the job done and then some. I know they're still updating the software but I've gotten nothing but compliments on the sound quality. MY ONLY "issue" is the power supply so thanks for the CIOKS idea. Good stuff and setup, cheers.

loved the video! i'd love more info' on the guitar case with a cutout for your metro16 board; that seems really useful.

Take a shot every time Rhett starts a video with, "SO..."

Wow! That pedal capture sounded so close!

Absolutely brilliant thank you

The show in Springfield MO with Read Southall is a good fair. I opened up for Parker McCollum there last year. Hope to see you there!

Opening for Willie Nelson in OH? Wow, that ought to be a good time. Have a good tour.

Love that Shinola!

Best part of the video is that flight case. Whoa, awesome. 15:58

@@nickwagner5048 Part of it was the ease of which I was able to dial in the sounds I wanted. I really like the interface and I found it super easy to use. Then you factor in that I can do captures of my own amps and I was pretty much sold! I know I only used 10% of what the Stomp could do (and the same for my QC), but I’m getting exactly what I want and need out of it. I see it as an investment, one that with each update, pays off more and more. I hope that answers your question. :)

Great video! It would be very interesting to see your thoughts on the software improvement in the QC after the tour, you were one of the few respected KZreadrs who gave a not-so-good review when it came out. Btw, Liquid Death water bottles always look great on video! XD

Gonna miss you and Noah by a day in Austin :-(. Have to say I was skeptical of the QC capture but it nailed it.

5:48...KZread world is so wonderful. Rhett spends prob 30 mins rummaging through boxes to find the cables, for me it's 2 seconds hahaha thanks rhett ;)

Would you be able to make a follow up video based on how the QC worked at your gigs? Likes/dislikes, sound quality, etc.

I think they both sound great. I would not worry about "Splitting Hairs"-The audience would never know the difference with all the other artists playing.

That flight case is the bomb!! Please share the details with us. : )

I'll see you at the show, I live right by the RR amphitheater. Nice board!

I was following along, happy and interested, but man, when I saw the beetronics, it sealed the deal!!!

Just did something similar with a hx stomp xl. I fit a broadcaster, zen drive and a JDM fuzz 292 on Metro 24 board. The ability for you to “capture” other pedals and amps is awesome. I don’t think the stomp has that feature.

Awesome! Austin is fun music town. Got kinfolk that live there.

Bummed out for not being able to make the Austin date. I hope y'all can come through Houston one day.

That all in one pelican case is dope!

I was very close to getting that Beetronics pedal, I still need to get it.

Just listened to blue wall "Things to Fix" great song 🎵 👌 very moving.

Been wanting to see you & Noah live But yr. not coming to Houston so maybe next tour. Keep up the good work & tube content! thx

Pretty close to the sweet spot on an original Eventide Harmonizer when you first plugged up. I’d think a guy like you could make do with an unmiked black face Super Reverb.

Thanks for your great content Rhett!! I hope I can see you live soon. Would love your thoughts on Victory V4 amp pedals. Best wishes from Mexico City!!

Learning bass via Rocksmth. Just got a zoom b1x and having fun learning how diffrent pedels work.

I switched over to the QC at the end of last year for gigging and practices. I haven’t looked back since then. The one thing I found really interesting was the power supply option as I’m not a big fan of wall warts. Curious how the CIOKS works for you with the QC.

Hi Rhett - nice board! I’m setting up something similar - did you leave the rubber feet on your QC and mount the dual lock to them to get extra clearance?👍

I was just looking for cortex content and bitching that there isn’t really that much new lately. Thanks mate

OMG I'm going to miss you yet again..... ATL fan.... Missing Austin show by 12hrs.....

Very nice and clean board. More quad cortex plz. I would miss a wah pedal...

Thought about Neural. But ended up with a Headrush MX-5 and Strymon Timeline & Big Sky. Cheaper and does all other than capture. Also, the Strymons can be patched into the desk for buss duty. Was a better fit for me, slightly cheaper and still as small.

I’d like more info on how the touring board has a bent top bridge. How did that happen?

Aha pleased now, Rhett? I demand ANSWERS, hihihi. Kidding ofc ;) Lovely small rig you have. Amazing when i think about it. The capture on that device is beyond what i thought possible. Hurrah for you and your channel. I always watch but dosent comment much. Just wanted to say i am happy you once again will stand on the stage doing your thing :)

You weren't kidding about that Overdrive, were you? That thing is delightful.

Been using the Quad Cortex for playing live for about 8 months now. Don’t use amps anymore. The new Bassman patch has become one of my favourite amps for crunch. I’ve been able to find a tone for every song we cover. And, there’s a lot of great presets you can grab from the cloud from folks like Rabea.
