I've definitely found that the models are generally more dynamic and interesting than most of the captures.

It’s the same preset i used for everything….just used the amp clean for the funk sound.

Very informative video, great to see such a practical use of the QC & detail of your preset. Backed up by some lovely guitar work ….

Great little demo of how versatile the QC is and your guitar skills 👌

Thank you. It’s on Spotify etc also a live version on my KZread channel.

I've grown to not mind playing through monitors, but something that made a big big difference to me initially switching from amps is playing out of a real cab. I.e., you bypass the cab block and then go to a super super clean amp (I have an Orange Pedal Baby) which is plugged into your guitar cab of choice. It makes the experience basically indistinguishable from playing a real amp, I find. A cab is like a real physical musical instrument in the room, so going via a cabsim and a monitor is just going to suck some life and fun out of it.

I'm still using my QC when I need a silent stage.....still using my pedal and amps otherwise. Maybe one day I'll switch!

I put the gain block at the end so it’s not affecting the sound of anything before it. Also, for your captures, you might want to try global EQ and take a pic of the setting for each venue so you can quickly return to it later. All your sounds were terrific.

@iamtjwalker

4 ай бұрын

Thanks, that's a good idea about the global EQ. I intentionally put the gain at the front as I'm wanting it to push the devices after it, on my pedal board I use an EP boost for a similar function....I might put one after as well though for a volume boost!

TJ if you want to change a block you can go to touch those 3 dots and turn the top right knob and it goes through the list. It’s just another option. Quicker and a bit easier.

My people, this has been the situation ever since the line 6 vetta's haha. I had a vetta 2 (in 2006) and the main deal in the manual, was that it showed you every single piece of gear, as in the REAL version, so you could then read the manuals and use the amps and pedals just as you would the real thing. That's like, the whole point in a modeler lol they've always modeled every component, in my HD500X (also very old tech now) the controls even change based on what amp you pick and what knobs the real amp has (Orange's FAC knob, for example. That's how I even heard about it and found out what it does) it's juts in recent years they've been talking about it more to sell people. But I'm prettttty sure this tech is what made amp modelers worth anything or even possible to use professionally in the first place, 20-30 years ago. P.s. the QC was the best guitar purchase I've made since the Vetta 2, get one you'll love it

Yes the QC seems to be sounding better. I have been using mostly the same profile for 6 months. Victor's Marshal (scene A or C with the delay increased to 600ms)

I was using a much older Cor OS on this video......I've since updated it so I'll see if I notice the difference.

You're a damn good player. I guess I need to get used to my in ears because they fit great but after an hour my ears begin to hurt from them being in there.

@iamtjwalker

Thank you! I wore moulded ear plugs on every gig for over 15 years before I got mine so I was used to having things in my ears. I seem to remember it took some getting used to. I can keep mine in for hours without noticing them now so worth persevering.

Tones and playing were great. I prefer the models over captures for the flexibility,

Nice playing man… 💯 the amp models are the best way to go they’re more amp like, me personally i only use built in amps but do like to capture drive pedals. Another game changer I found is using 3rd party IRs I particularly recommend tone factor XIRs some really nice options

Interesting....the speaker cab block makes a big difference.

Thanks for a great vid! Which iem's are you using? I'm just getting into them and the choices are overwhelming. I really just want to hear great guitar tone through them.

@iamtjwalker

ACS ambient. They have a filter so you can hear sound around you a bit too.

1- is Your iem mix in mono or stereo? 2- What do you usually put into your mix?

@iamtjwalker

4 ай бұрын

Been using mono so far. I've been thinking about trying stereo for when I'm using the QC.....I'll have to set up the FX in stereo! I put everything in the mix. It's taken me a while to get happy with it....what made the biggest difference was putting more drums in, I always held back on them before, but when they're louder it's more like standing next to them!

just curious: did you make your profiles in isolation (meaning at home without having dialed in a sound while playing with other instruments) or at the end of a session? I want to move from modeller to profiler (to clone my gear) and wonder if that makes a difference? I am guessing the "snapshot" would sound different if the gear has been profiled in isolation vs in a band setting (I hope it makes sense)

@iamtjwalker

4 ай бұрын

It was created in isolation, but using settings that I know I use and work in a gig situation…..that being said, I will always have to alter an amp slightly to suit each gig so I don’t have a fixed setting I can use for all situations.

Thanks TJ…. What expression pedal do you use? Do you play through an frfr? What in ears do you use?

@iamtjwalker

2 ай бұрын

I use a mission engineering exp pedal…just the generic one, they didn’t do a QC version when I got it. I don’t use an FRFR. My IEMs are ACS ambient so they have a filter to hear what’s going on around me as well as the monitor signal.

Do you have that preset on the Quad Cortex Cloud? Sounds sick

I think I did post it....it was called something like Trio Rehearse....I'm not able to check at the mo!

Hi thats the chord progression used on the first song? what do you called that playin type?

Can you show how you built this preset? I want to be able to use two amps but can't figure out how to do it.

@iamtjwalker

If you download it from my Cortex Cloud profile - TJ Walker….the preset is Trio Rehearse…..you will see how it is put together. I just added the built in blocks that the unit ships with.

you don't use PC Editor for preset config? Cortex Control is quite good, also - better for video demo

I haven’t had time to get it installed and start using it. My QC setup has been pretty static for ages until I did this video. It’s on my todo list as I agree, it will make for much better videos!

I suppose I could.....but I'm not going to obviously😀

1) Snare at 2:31 sounds great. Couldn't be any better. 2) Snare at live gig sounds pretty bad. I have a mid-level Roland drum module with my likewise mid-level elec. Roland kit, and all the drums sound fantastic. No complaints there. Fault of guy running the house? 3) All the guitar sounds in both places are impressive, as are the skills behind them. If you can't get it right with the QC, you might as well take up another endeavor. (Big update upcoming to firmware.) But a bad carpenter blames his tools - so despite the robustness of the QC, unless you have the know how to dial in the right tone, and know what to do with it once you get it dialed in, you're still wandering around lost out in the woods. (And your audience's ears are bleeding with cringe.)

Interestingly it’s the same mic and processing on the snare on both occasions. Although it’s a different snare (both sound great acoustically) the main difference is the spill in the other mics colouring the sound I think. Looking forward to the QC update!
