    As someone who’s been wanting a G2/G3 for awhile this video may have pushed me over the edge to go quartermaster. A little more budget friendly and gets me into the gigrig environment. So many super handy functions, and gets me thinking how I can configure all the loops. Cheers Dan on keeping the love for gear alive!!

    This is exactly what i'm looking for. When I try to explain to somebody dry and wet rigs, I tell them that the dry represents your superhero and its powers, and then the wet represents the kickass outfit that they get to wear with its unique abilities. Ty sir, you are a tower of awesomeness.

    I’ve been using a 6 loop Quartermaster for about three years now and it still works as flawlessly as when it was brand new, even after many gigs & rehearsals,the build quality is stunning . The effect that a good loop switcher has , when paired with good clean power ( also available from Gig rig) really can’t be overstated, the enhanced fidelity you get from a clean signal chain is something I now just take for granted, thanks Dan & the team @ GigRig 👍🎸

    Quartermaster 8 has been on my board for almost 2 years now. I had already been doing much of what you mention, Dan, but the "2 pedals in 1 loop" is a great (and in hindsight simple and obvious) idea!

    I have three boards and all have a Quartermaster - QMX4 / 6 / 8. They’re absolutely bulletproof and the flip flop mode is awesome. I run several drives in flip flop and a lead boost in regular mode so I can stack it on top. I can’t imagine running pedals all in a line without a switcher ever again.

    I started with a QMX4. In no time at all, I graduated to a QMX6 and then to a QMX8 and now I have a QMX10 on the way. If that says anything, these are the greatest inventions since pedals and switchers and are in a league all their own. They are an absolute must for anyone that A) prefers non programmable switching on their board and B) is aching to achieve sonic bliss as the QMX line redefines the term “true bypass.” Switching is easier and quieter as I don’t have to touch the actual pedals and my tone has never been better. Oh the compliments I get and the confidence I have knowing that my tone will always be there. I use and recommend flip-flopping, fx looping and tuner/muting… The possibilities are endless and these are truly a dream come true y’all - Mega thanx, Dan and to all at GigRig, cheers 🥂🎉❤!!!

    I've been wanting to get the Quartermaster6 but then lockdown happened. I will get to it eventually. I love it how you kept it to the things needed. I see so many switching systems that add some trickery just for show. The QM does everything. Just wish the input and output were squeezed behind but I've made some loop boxes and I know how hard that is to do. Jacks are a lot bigger on the inside.

    Perfect timing, expanding my pedalboard and thinking I need something to get some stuff out of the way when not in use. Way back when I used two Boss PSM5’s one with all my delays in its loop the other with all my modulation pedals and I could bring them in and out. PSM’s we’re right next to each other so a nice wide foot could smash both at once to go from a big washy dreamy sound to rock mode. Thanks for the video lots of great ideas here for what I might need to do 👍

    Dan, I'm so glad you made this. The QMX is such a brilliant switcher. I've been using it since 2018 (a QMX-10) and LOVE flip-flop mode for all the drive pedals. Normal mode for Cali76 and ARDX20 but am thinking of moving them off to make more room for more drives! (and modulation). The soft switches, the space between them, the simplicity of design... all perfect. Honestly, the QMX and TheGigRig power supply are the backbone of everything. They are the absolute best and together, they provide 100% confidence that nothing will ever go wrong. Perfectly flawless.

    I couldn't imagine playing live without a switcher now. Have had a QM6 for years now on my smaller board and it is perfect - I use flip flop for a couple of different overdrives that I don't stack and then normal switching for boost & delays etc. on top. I love it - so simple and robust, never had an issue with it at any gig. I've learnt a few things I didn't know from this vid - so thanks Dan for making it and thanks to you and the whole Gigrig team for building a fantastic product! PS I used to use a Boss ES-8 switcher on my bigger board until it went wrong at a show (level on both outputs dropped - common issue!) and then bought a second-hand G2, built like a tank, never had any sort of issue with it. G3 coming someday!

    Another endorsement for the QM from me. I've had it around a year or so and it has made life easier in terms of switching when playing live. It has been reliable ( I gig most weeks)and it has also meant that my pedals stay in one place with no tension on the connection cables. The flip flop facility is also a boon , I use it for a compressor that is always on apart from when I use a fuzz. Keeps the signal path clearer too , I noticed an improvement the moment I rebuilt my board. Thanks for the video Dan.

    I use a QMX 10 in almost all the ways you covered Dan. I have a humdinger for wet / dry, 2 delays in a single loop, and I use flip-flop for a specific song where I have a clean flanged sound in the verses and an overdriven sound in the chorus. The only thing I'd missed was the master bypass feature. My only minor niggle is that, unlike G3, you can't easily switch pedal order e.g., stick a delay before an overdrive. Still, a brilliant piece of kit.

    I love my Quartermaster (6-loops)! It helps to keep the signal clean and elongates the life of the pedal switches. It also helps to, along with mini pedals, to maximise space on my modest sized board. Of course I'd love a G3 Atom (or more) but my budget and other audio needs haven’t put me in a place financially where I can currently afford one, so the Quartermaster is a great affordable alternative.

So there's no hate intended. Most(not all) of the time it seems like mic loves guitar and that's what matters!

    Mark here. Tell me if I'm correct. If you have a QMX-4 and a QMX-2 you wouldn't have to use a loop to use the 4-cable method for splitting effects between the front of the amp and the effects loop. Should work for the Wet/Dry, too. Gets you an extra loop and prevents you from bypassing the preamp by stepping on button 4.

    One more potential use for the QM. Expansion for the G3 or G2. I own G3 but you never get enough isolated loops for mad monster pedal board. On my monster board I have more core drives, more different boosts in pre boost stage and solo boost. Also I have 3 different delays. So One G3 Loop can go to a QM that handles 4 different pedals. Also QM can go before or even behind the G3. My scenario is when I can I use 4 different Pre boost pedals into a drive pedal. Centura as Klon clone, Maxon OD808 as Tube screamer, EP booster as specific full range and One more Germanium full range booster. Selecting what pre boost I use is job for the QM. So you chose on G3 with or without boost gain stacked into the drive pedal and that loop then uses QM to flip flop what boost pedal are you going to use depending what guitar and what drive pedal are you using at that moment. Same thing can be done with some of the delays. For example digital, analog or Tape delay can be in same loop but still if you want to use them individually or even stacked you can use QM to handle that. I know that there is GigRig Remote Loopy 2 that really ads two loops intelligently to a G3 but this works to. Imagine you have 4 core drive pedals and 4 pre boost pedals plus after the solo boost pedal. All those possible combinations are there for your choice. It is like 40 combinations right? Per drive no boost plus 4 pre boost options time 4 different drive pedals that is 20 plus 20 more options of same but with solo boost after the drives boost. So 40 different sounds with 9 pedals. It is even to much for most of the people.

    Loving that ancient Boss tuner, how cool? Am I right in thinking you can quickly switch the order of pedals going into each other with the Quartermaster? I mean if you have a boost and an OD next door to each other is there a one tap way to switcheroo them round?

    Hi John, to swap order of loops you’re looking at more involved units like G3/Atom. The QMX uses gold contact relays in series so the order is set 👍

    I run my wet/dry set-up a little differently. I use the chain of guitar-tuner-EQ-compressor-overdrive-octave, into the preamp of the dry amp. The effects loop out to the delay-reverb-chorus pedals, using the stereo chorus for the split. Dry side of the chorus back to the effects loop on the dry amp and the wet side to the "power amp in" of the wet amp. This way I only have to use 1 preamp section. I need to get a hum cancelling pedal for sure but it's a pretty simple set up. Any thoughts?

    Hey Dan, it's a channel switcher too! I'm using a Deluxe Reverb reissue. The vibrato channel is bright and sparkly but hates pedals, while the normal channel sounds great with pedals but lifeless for clean. I set up three flip flop loops on my quarter master, two basic overdrives and one that goes to a compressor but doesn't return back to the QM. The regular QM output goes to the amp's normal input by way of the left stereo side of my Strymon Flint and El Cap (TRS insert cables to split the stereo) and the QM send with the compressor goes through the right side of the strymon pedals and continues on to the vibrato input of the amp. So one button gives me rhythm dirt (OCD on low gain, Mike Camble-ish) into the normal input, next button gives me lead tone (JSH @) into the normal input, 3rd button gives me sparkly clean Keely Comp+ into Vibrato input. All sounds get whatever verb/trem/delay I'm using for the song. It's seemless for what's essentially multi amp/channel switching. What a solid piece of gear!

    Can you have the same pedal in more that one loop. I.E. you may want a gain pedal straight to a Reverb pedal and then the same Gain pedal into a Delay pedal (and maybe another Gain Amp into both the reverb and delay pedals).

  • @dragonsquare2802

    Wouldn’t it be handy to have the possibility to set the loop connected to the pre amp of the amp to not turn off when you accidentally hit the switch? Basically like the flip flop switch but as a switch bypass switch.

    Your instructions for wiring up the QMX to connect to the FX loop sounds easy enough, but if I have my board near my vocal mic, I have to run a pair of long cables (send/return) back to my amp. Is the capacitance of a pair of long cables (even good ones) going to affect my tone?

  • @TheGigRigDaniel

    @TheGigRigDaniel

    Жыл бұрын

    All depends on the impedance of the send from the amp, if it has a low impedance you’ll be fine but it’s an issue for anyone using long leads from an amp fx send to any pedalboard. We may be working on a solution for this 🤗👍

    Is there a possibility to get this with stereo as an option? Either double mono jacks on each loop (or trs jacks)? I use 2 amps both wet to get stereo delay effects. Also, is there a possibility to get a qmx 10 ( or 12 if you'd ever make one) in the format of the G3 with 2 rows of buttons stacked instead of all in a long line? I would love to have one that takes up less width on the pedalboard.

    Awesome - and enlightening - video, Dan, and also, the timing could not be more puuurfect, as I'm indeed receiving my Quartermasterx4 in a few days...! One question though: In the video where you talk about making a bypass switch (unplugging the power switch, etc.) you say that "you don't even have to plug the tuner in"....!? Well, where does the tuner go then, if I want to keep it separate from the rest of the effects to minimize noise...? Or can I just plug it into the channel I assigned to be the' bypass channel''...? Thanks for another great year of TPS ...oh, and merry Xmas of course 🙂!
