Thanks for the feedback! If you REALLY need a size in between you could cut a DUO 34 down. Email us for more info: [email protected]

You can definitely use Velcro if you prefer. Many artists prefer Quick Release for a tidy, square board. Pedal Plates can sometime be a bit finicky to remove, but - once installed - rarely need removal. Velcro or Dual Lock works well! Some use other methods (like zip ties) on our perforated surface. Whatever gets you playing!

EBS makes them in 11 inch and 22.8 inch versions. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EBSPCFDLS58--ebs-pcf-dls58-flat-patch-cable-58cm-angle-angle

It’s one or the other. You set a switch inside the Volume (X) to either expression or volume (with tuner out). You can set the QC expression input to control volume on specific presets/scenes if you want to “switch” between expression and volume.

Thanks for the response! ❤

Definitely.

@@templeboards Great. Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, I believe something along those lines. Program and control changes sent from an NLE.

The XLR outputs on the Quad Cortex are balanced and have 3 pins. The XLR>TRS cables included with the XLR MOD allow you to fit the 1/4" TRS cables through the top surface of the board (XLR's don't fit). The back of the XLR MOD has 1/4" TRS inputs, but the front is adapted back to XLR again. [ SEE 3:07 ] TLDR; XLR connections are mono even though they have 3 poles. Your signal starts and ends with XLR.

Lol. If I were to do it again I’d want the one set of plates further from the edge (just for aesthetic purposes) BUT the point is they don’t need to be centered. Thanks for the kind words.

I’m also considering other options. Do you know if the standard power supply that comes with quad cortex will fit underneath temple audio solo 18? Attached with zip ties.

Oh nooo!

Boards 24” and longer come with one bracket pre-installed. You can mount any power supply upside down with two medium plates.

To be honest, a lot of users use the IEC MOD instead. IEC cables are more common and affordable and the IEC MOD gives you the on/off functionality. I forget which specific Powercon cables we’ve usid in the past, but likely most choices from Amazon will work well: www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Stage-Right-powerCON-Connector/dp/B01NBYFOSZ/ref=sr_1_5?crid=CWLYWTDM6MD2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.jytQGmYU2kVMNpz8G7-z897B01KBQ9qLjrqTRXUWrYAcU76WT3GdyuyqbNWiJHDwfDMRmuWlqwuY9imLU5eVqjenvlS3Bh7x0YsUCfa7NRpslgzFElmNsBh90v6JuFuyGYWiDpDB1UF1bUnNAaTniZRK40u5ba1vDM2urKxs-7l_oI7DfyFw2PRD4ccbn0wJ6nK4JL6OBhxRCcrDg1AQfLXkl5JSZ3Ky1QG0IdYklj4.IVEcaLLVWqTNUbTW4s_f3A8h2oAtlCGdjgRSoFwgqhQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=powercon%2Bcable&qid=1733842234&sprefix=powercon%2Bcable%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-5&th=1

When using the X8 as an expression pedal on the Quad Cortex, you can use it to be a wah or volume as well as control a ton of other parameters.

The pre-amp section of an amplifier usually proves some level of distortion. The power amp section is relatively clean with higher headroom. Putting pedals in the fx loop places them after the distorted pre-amp and before the clean(er) power amp section of your amp. This way you distorted amp tone goes into your time-based effects instead of the other way around.

It's gotta be a Plini song but I can't tell you which one. I wanna know too

It’s “Ember” by Plini! 😜👍

For powering the Quad Cortex? Yes, you can use the original adapter included with the QC by using our IEC MOD and NEMA 5-15 adapter. You can then zip tie the adapter and cable slack under the board. A couple other brands will work if you can bridge enough channels together to get 2A of current. Walrus Audio’s Canvas Power HP has a high power output that you can set to 12v.

Yes, you can use (x3) Cioks Flex 8800 Parallel Adapters to bridge four channels (set to 12V at 500mA) to one at 2000mA. 2A is enough to power the QC.

@@templeboardsyes just saw you mentioned this at 53:40 on the vid!

Main reason is to keep connections tidy and easily accessible. In this case they’re running loom with all the cables wrapped together. It also saves the jacks on your pedals from plugging in and out as often.

@ I guess that makes sense. I plan on building this board without the midi mod because I still don’t even understand how midi works lol

If you don’t need MIDI then you don’t need MIDI! Start without it and - if you ever need it in the future - you can always a Punched Plate and MIDI connector (or two).

@@templeboards Thanks for the replies! Would a full size Crybaby or Mission Engineering expression pedal fit on this board?

No, you’d need to go up to at least a DUO 17 (or bigger) to have enough depth for a full-size wah/expression.

That’s like… your opinion, man. 😜

It definitely should fit! Reach out and we’ll get this sorted: [email protected]

Have you tried one?
