Really excited for people to try this thing. It’s impossible for you all to really get a vibe for this thing without trying it. Especially with so little content on the tubes! But I’m sure all the content will drop in due course! For those comparing to all the others, I just think try one, to see which you feel suits you best. But to my ear and feel as a guitarist, it’s feel is beyond anything I’ve tried by quite a way. for me that’s one of the most important elements when I’m trying a modeller. The tone sculpting is so painless, and I’m really happy with the sounds I’ve found in it so far! The capture is insane, that’s definitely a must try! As I said, can’t wait for you all to the one!

It sounds amazing. Just wow that stereo is so actuate.

Oh good grief. I would never have a use for this thing, but it's glorious. The connectivity, sharing, etc. is crazy. The fact that you can plug multiple people into it with separate signal paths is nuts. If I was trying to start a franchise of cover bands or something, this would be the way to go. You can make sure that every group has the same settings, and enough inputs for a whole band....

The Helix, kemper, axefx, and now this are just insane. It is crazy to think how easy it is to have so many great sounds that you could use in a studio or touring environment. I am just wondering how much better can it get, and yet it keeps getting better.

So what you can plug ANY amp into it and “capture” the tone?? That’s sick af!!

This demo was fun AF to watch!

I've been exclusively using their plugins ever since I moved into a flat where I really can't make noise and it's very impressive what can be achieved in modelling these days. I kinda wish there was a rackmount edition which I could load into my desk, but apart from that I'm very interested.

This is truly an amazing device. Definitely going to consider it down the road

I love these videos. The funny moments are rehabilitating. Thank you.

richard kruspe from rammstein once explained it perfectly in an interview, the problem with amp simulations is that the devices cannot reproduce the after swinging of a guitar cab because it requires a lot of cpu power. I think that's exactly that feeling thing that many amp players criticize

i wonder if its worth to sell my helix floor and buy cortex . i love my helix floor but its just too big ,heavy to carry around

Really cool that you get to adjust the mic stuff. That's the one thing about the kemper is you don't get control of the mic, the mic and cab are just merged.

The moment. They bring back Rabea making that goofy noise for the fifth time when they were talking about noise gates was the greatest was the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I make various random noises inspired by life cuz I’m bored af all the time and it’s so close to my heart. Anywho. HILARIOUS. Made the whole video.

Would be great to see a video comparing this with Kemper when it comes to profiling amps, I've been very happy with my Kemper since i got it nearly 10 years ago but the Cortex has my curiosity

I can't wait to buy it.

I'm ALL on-board for current tech. This unit sounds FANTASTIC! I guess my issue has to do with repair, updating, and especially VALUE over time for the average working person.

Sounds amazing, couldn't be more excited to get my QC! Great demo, guys.

Mystery Chode is my new favorite band name!

I'm a little surprised at how the noise gate was used here. A compressor won't "add" noise in itself, it'll simply raise the noise that's already there. If the noise gate is placed at the very start of the chain, it eliminates noise at the source, and the compressor has nothing to raise, so everything will be silent. Plus, you won't get that huh-huh-huh effect at the end of a note. Aside from that, though, a good demo. I'm really interested in this unit for when I get back to gigging. I have a full-fat Helix, but it's too bulky for the fly-in gigs I do, so it stays at home. The QC's compact form factor really appeals. I'd very much like to hear some mid-gain tones demoed at some point.

Agreed about the Helix as another Helix user.

I've been using the Helix in 4CM with Synergy. The modules that Synergy has are just incredible! That is my main rig running in stereo and it slays! That said, I can't wait to get my hands on one of these. I'm in the US and Sweetwater is the only place I think you can get them and they're $1599 US. Thanks for the video! So much incredible gear out there for all of us guitarists with perpetual GAS - yeah, GAS never sleeps! Keep doing the good stuff!!!!!!!!!!🤘😁🤘

Over here an AX3 costs about double of that.

Thank you for review. Is it possible to use it for reamping double track DI guitars (stereo)? Kemper can't do this unfortunately.

An old guy like me would have loved to hear some sparkly clean sounds a'la Mark Knopfler, Nile Rodgers.... Not everyone's a metal head ;-) ;-) ;-)

As a metal head, I would have liked to hear at least one signature Rabea metal sound. Seems like the QC can't produce them :( The video is basically no tone demos all tech talk and menu fiddling

The difficult sounds to emulate are the dirty ones. Probably why it's the majority of the demo on this video. I bet she can put off some crystal

I tried the Fortin Cali plugin from Neural DSP and was shocked at how real it sounded. I own Amplitube 4 and thought, this is real competition for anything IK Multimedia has. I haven' t yet tried Amplitube 5, but can't wait to do so! The modelling amps are just becoming so scary accurate.

I've been looking for something that could truly upgrade my Headrush Gigboard, and this is the only product that actually fully replaces the Gigboard. This is amazing.

Hahahahahahah I am crying with the "Hee Hee" of the gate 😂😂

Must almost be Christmas methinks

The intro sounded pretty digital but when Lee was dialing in the tones it sounded incredibly organic. If only it has an expression pedal that would make it perfect.

You can add one and not having to worry about the onboard exp ever breaking...

Impressive! The only thing missing is an onboard amp option so you can have stage sound.

i need to hear some profiles :). But as a kemper user i quite like the fact that it can copy / profile pedals if this works fine it‘ll be amazing. Besides that just play live through like 2 amps and create your own sound is just amazing. With kemper you would need to have a merged profile or re-amping through different profiles
