this is exactly what i was thinking of doing but every other video is claiming a load attenuation needs to be in place - where as this method is simulating an amp without an instrument plugged in and even them you could still ABY switch with a volume attenuator before the return to use the cab along the iR. thank you for this video demonstration!!! 😊

6:00 lamb of god?

looks like you could fit a delay pedal on the rig and still get the trail would that go into the interface?

My xtone died in a rehearsal when someone stepped on the usb cable and totally destroyed the usb port in it so it is definitely the biggest issue. It is very fragile even though it looks like a robust pedal. Also I remembering bias suddenly stopped working in the middle of a song and you had to reconnect an reopen the app so yeah, pretty cool thing for practice but not reliable enough for band rehearsals or even less, for live playing

When I played heavy guitar in bands, I was always a bit envious of the bass player, but I was in love with guitar. Now I play bass, I just like the thunder. It's a responsible job too.

Thiis a great trick!

Great job on the guitar, it looks amazing! Don't hate on it because it's light though, the beautiful thing with your QC is you don't have to play a boat anchor to have massive sustain.

Excellent job. Really enjoyed watching this. Are the pickups stock or upgraded? The guitar sounds fantastic.

Bass is for the lows and chugs. Don't scoop the mids because guitars are mid-range instruments. It may sound good in your bedroom, but not on stage.

Thank you for recognising The Bass ✍🏿 How is your Bass tuned in this video? Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

Excellent work on the video, top quality, well presented and good information. Appreciate it!

this is a bloody upgrade! i enjoyed my dinner as ive enjoyed watching this man haha! cheers from Malaysia

does it have floyd rose?

First, having refinished several of my own guitars. I think this came out really good for you having done a few things for the first time. The Warrior is my favorite shape, I've owned everything from the 90's Pro to the JS series Personally I think you took a basic budget guitar & made it look & sound Great. I used the Duncan Alpha Omega set in mine, the Nazgul set sounds great as well , I also replaced the the nut with a Graph Teck Tusq nut , made a huge difference. Over all great job!

In my experience small tube amp will cut through much much better than big solid state

The bass is the mountain from which the guitar thunders

I think it really depends on the Band, Rage against the Machine has killer basslines… although they aren’t “pure” metal… it sounds very good with the bass

Dave mustaine is a beast people just want to be him

love the way you blacked out jackson logo that is shady

I love the honest opinion on iPad guitar rig. I’m researching into this as well.

English is my second language and usually I dont catch puns... But 04:16 made me laugh so hard it was unexpected jjjajajajajaja

I've been thinking about picking up a QC for a while now. for smaller venues would I be able to just come from the Quad Cortex to a power amp and cabinet that is mic's to the PA system or would that bring forth problems I'm simply not seeing?

is it possible to control the quad cortex with the xtone pro, just so I don't need to step in the quad cortex. if anyone has tried pls 🙏🏻

I am also an BIAS Bass Player and it worked for me as I only use one tone for all our songs

I got the same guitar replaced the bridge and since then I love the shit out of this guitar. The swirl on mine is hella prettier. You can hear how it sounds now on my KZbin channel.

Got any vids of you using your set up live in front of an audience? Love to see it. Thanks

Any videos of you playing for an audience?

Killer hoodie btw.

Did you keep the original. Bridge and tuners?

As a bassist I think people who say that bass is unimportant in metal have been listening to bad metal bands only.

I used an iPad to an external Bose speaker to practice for years and then got a new iPad with no headphone jack. I have been hoping for a work around. So this gadget will process both the input from the iPad and an output to external speakers/amps?

I think it would've been cool to see the decibel levels too.

What cable do you use for the midi connected from the foot switch to the Quad cortex

how do you rout the footswitch on the xtone to bias fx

good video. I'm a guitar player. when i pick up a bass, i become part of the drum section and use notes to accompany beats, fills and assign per tom and cymbal. I use the bass as a direct extension of the drums only limited by the notes in the song.

To be blunt, the problem is that bands can't write music. The reason any ensemble has multiple types of instrument is to cover multiple parts. When you have two 8-string guitars tuned to drop-Q and everybody is chugging the same riff the whole song, no, you're not going to hear the bass. That's not how orchestras work and it's not how competent bands work. Of course there are times when everything might be in sync to emphasize a mood or pattern. But, for the most part, bass, rhythm, and lead should be doing their own things that intertwine to create something none of them can do on their own. Modern metal is essentially just three guys playing rhythm.

Bass metal should be a subgenre in of itself

The problem started with Metallica, on "...and Justice for All," when Lars went over to the console and told the engineer to slide down Jason's bass track, then slide it down further. Then everything became about scooped out, multi-tracked guitars that chug and chug away with only the occasional "click" from the bassist hitting the strings. Interestingly, you can thank death metal for bringing the bass back, with Alex Webster, Glenn Benton, Jo Bench and others reintroducing the thunderbroom out front.

First time pretty much remaking a guitar does it perfect me 20 years later still has a hard time setting up the floyd on my warrior......

Great tutorial! Did you ever figure out how to get the LED'S to light up on the Blackstar controller?

Any good musician should.know.that a bass is the most important intrument in any occasion or genre as it is the foundation of any song, its basic to underline the chord progression.

Part of the reason the first riff‘s low end sounds muddy is bc the bass drum plays a groove that doesnt fit the riff at all. Also, you could have made the same point in a video half as long if you only keep the important parts in the edit.

that sticker on the wireless thingy.... i love it...XD

what are you playing in ? I love the tone

I’m an iPad guitsrist and bassist. Your videos have helped me tremendously and I thank you.

Listen to Taka, the bassist from Galneryus, in these songs: Destiny The Followers Angel of Salvation

Do you get any latency/channel switch delay when you play live with that foot switch?? I'm very curious

At the Gates

Does bias fx 2 actually work inside of iOS? I’ve heard a lot of mixed stuff, but I really want to get those tones in the GarageBand on my iPhone.
