I typically run some external drive pedals into the QC to use with captures on the QC. Is it possible to capture this entire chain (External Pedals + QC) with the Nano Cortex?

Really great, honest, straight to the point review. Thanks. Subbed.

Great video ! Downloaded bunch of your presets !!! 🎉

Can I access these tones for the Nano?

Terrific. Will you be reviewing the Modulated Delay?

My question...sorry it is a bit away from the subject. I always make the wrong decision....I wont be Capturing anything. I just want great sounding real sounding (recorded) amps . Warmth/feel of a tube amp...relatively speaking I will be using on board or bought packs.

Cool stuff, but it sounds more like Priest and Maiden tone to me than Randy.

Great demo--explanation(S), guitar examples, history, simple and easy to understand. <Bow> to the humble knowledge dude.

It's the capacitors in the Epiphone that affect the tone; they are low quality. In my Epi 59, if you touch the capacitor, the hum of the P90's increases. Same in the 55 but not as loud. You can buy a set of capacitors for between 10 and 30 dollars. Gibson could spend about 2 dollars more per guitar for a much better sound.

Played one of these in that exact color and it was inspiring to play.

This amp is my favorite model on the QC. Of course, I'm old. And Deluxes and Princetons are what I've played for about 4 decades. I like the Vibrato with the bright cap off - especially with the dual Amalgam IR's that you hipped me to.. For me, I just set the amp clean / edge and use pedals to cover the rest. But many thanks for putting in the hours to compare the settings. As always, I'm a fan of your vids and approaches!

Just what the doctor ordered! A very flexible set of scenes in glorious and practical MONO. Well Done!

What a fantastic starting point! They sound awesome ! Thanks man!

This is genuinely a fantastic preset. I’ll be stealing this for my wedding gigs next year! Great work

I appreciate your effort and time doing these ! I’ve been going toooo deep into the captures market recently, bought all the amalgams and tonejunkies and I find I am never quite happy with my selections or cabs I pick, its overly complicated all the time, and I need to just get back to a nice clean, edge of break up, rock, heavy mixture of tones that are very simple to be a starting point of very minor changes in the future.

Since I was looking forward to using a digital amp to 'dial in a tone', I decided the SE CE was the best for me in their lineup after seeing this. Didn't think I would find one (I was thinking I would get used or a Yamaha) but I scored a real nice sounding one with a turquoise top at an absurd price by layering some sales on each other. The nuts discount paid for my amp. It's my first electric (I've played many strings, just not electric) and I am having so much fun with it, thank you for the help.

Killer playing and killer tone! Nice job :)

Anyone here have any experience with Bootstrap pickups? They're crazy affordable and seemingly well made in Ohio. I've been eyeing a couple of sets from them but can't find much in the way of video reviews.

Pretty cool that 2 weeks later 2 of your own presets got picked for the NDSP Best of '24 list. Nice! Congrats. Are you on any of the forums?

thanks for effort! Good preset as a starting point

After owning all 3 foe some time, imho, I would rate the DGT above all, Paul's Guitar a close 2nd, and the SAS 3rd. All are great in their own right, however, the DGT & Paul's are the best in my opinion.

One of Best QC content on YT 🤘🏽really helped me get a handle on the QC and get up and running fast. ❤ simple great tone

where and how i can download this preset?

Thank you so much my friend. Your content should be getting way more hits. I'll try and push it on my SM. Question? What pickups are in your Strat?

Thanks!

This is super helpful ! As someone who plays in a cover band and struggle with building this - particularly dialed in for my guitar - this is super useful !!

07:14 Great lead tone!

Apologies if this is too old. I stumbled across your video and at the end I wondered if you had covered the McCarty 594 SE. Now you commented on the slight thicker dgt neck comparatively. The McCarty has like a Gibson Les Paul '59 style but (and not sure SE line) but I think they make the 594 in a pattern thin profile as well. I wondered if you had tried any variant of 594? I own a 10th Anniversary S2 Custom24 that I bought new last year. Not many videos on it but spec-wise it's basically as close to a Core model PRS Custom24 than anything I've ever seen. Always dreaming of owning a PRS but could never afford a Core, top 10, wood library- I've never been more in love. Now I have been bitten and I'm looking for my next (budget) PRS for 2025. I'm kinda thinking Paul's or 594.

Thanks you for sharing all your tones

man it sounds great and you ain't feeling it... let it go

This device might have the best default tones in the effect processing history

By the way ... I started playing seriously, in 1961. The guitar you are holding is the guitar Fender would be making if they were not making any other Strat models ... if that makes any sense. And Fender has always had a sealer on their bodies. I have the American Original '50s in blonde. It is a fabulous guitar. My maple board/neck is quite chunky, and it is wonderful.

My wife and I bought one of these jobs for our grown son. He really likes it! Me ... I'm a 9.5 (would actually rather have 11/12) but he likes the 7.25. Go figure.

He is probey useing delay , Reveb, & compression

I have the same guitar..have had mine for almost a year now. Love it. It's a quality, extremely resonant guitar. Personally I don't think you can get a better build at this price point.... Coil tap makes it quite versatile... The neck is a delight to play. I'm happy with the instrument as is !

Sounds great, tasty licks, Thanks

I changed the pickups in mine to a couple I had knocking around a dimarzio 36th neck and Seymour Duncan 59 trembucker with alnico 2 magnet both with covers. Looks great and so far liking the sound.

It sounds great to me but I think you could make a $20.00 guitar soung goooood!

Tonerider rocksong pickups!

That pitch shift behaviour is quite odd. Does it change settings or remember settings based on location? It's hardly remebering a previous setting for that location is it?

Awesome! I wish I would have gotten in the PRS game earlier. I just bought a DGT SE and absolutely love it. I find myself playing a lot longer than I would if I grabbed on of my other guitars. I did immediately upgrade to the locking SE tuners--it greatly improved it. I agree on the value of the resale of an SE-not cost efficient to sell. I’d put some new pups in (maybe Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers or Antiquity?) and upgrade the tuners and I bet you will gravitate more to it.

+++ cool Sound, nice playing+++

Eddie would have loved this device I think.....

This is a great walkthrough. Thanks for posting, I can't think of questions now, but will come back if I anything comes up between now and watching the second video. There's too many videos out on how to use the quad cortex UI, but it's pretty intuitive, you broke down the parts I needed help on.

thank you so much, if it wasnt for this video i would have never realized there was a seperate switch for bright cap off, Had a great showing tonally at the hard rock thanks to you

Perfect! 👍👍👍Thank you very much for this very good explanation. Its the best Video about the Lekato Tank G in the You Tube Universe. 😅

There is something I don’t get… why is the room mix option from the ir loader not also available in the cab block? Secondly - what is the room mix option? When I compare it to the regular room or ambience reverb block with the same settings it doesn’t sound the same… in my oppinion the room mix option sounds better. Almost like it was a room mic - which can’t be as those are your own impulse responses it is added to… Does anybody know?

input gain on 0db is a mistake

Since its a lppoer, its best last in the chain. Being last in chain makes it tough to get a strong enough signal for tuning at lower volumes. Especially if you opt to place it last in the effects loop. I've had to turn up the volume on my soldano 30 mini to be able to get the tuning function to operate at all. As a single button looper I find it tougher to use than my tc ditto x2. Im gonna recommend anyone who takes looping even slighty serious to hold off for a better dedicated 2 button looper. I bought it because it was small dual functional and inexpensive. I had to buy a 15$ line filter for mine because it was noisy as hell. Unusable digital noise with ac adapters just as bad with power bricks, one spot. It was best running on a battery, but inconvenient to me because I despise batteries when it comes to playing guitar. And it doesn't have a battery compartment being tiny. 6 months later I can say that I should have sent it back. To this day I plan on replacing it. But, it is still on my travel board. Good for the price..... I guess.....lol Good video, thanks !

Man I just found ur Channel a couple of hours ago - its gold! Iam a long time Helix user - but I´m switchting right now to the cortex! Keep up the hard work you put into this. Its crazy good content! I wish u all the best and merry christmas! I think Ill get my cortex in a week or so - very excited to try everything out with my actuel setting (EVH 2x12 Cab - powered with a Orange 100 Pedal baby for the stage, going out of QC to FOH)
