I think this is the best demonstration of this product yet! You're awesome Nate!

@@robcruz8519 Thanks, Rob! Much appreciated. :)

[@johnmoser2689]

This is super cool thanks for another great video

[@ccherryii]

Finally!! A bass demo for this game changing modeler. Thanks brother! Always smokin’!

[@pbass6811]

And this is why we all wanted Nate Navarro to demo this beast! Not only was his playing outstanding, as usual, but he covered exactly what most of us wanted to see. Thanks for the fantastic demo(you could've made it twice as long and it would've just been twice as awesome, ;-) )!

[@NateNavarro]

Thank you! :)

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Great playing, good sir!

[@NateNavarro]

For a bass player, I suppose. ;) Thanks Glenn!

[@czdot]

Devin Townsend chose well. 😊

[@jeffarburola]

Glenn congratulating a Bass player, need to screen capture this.

[@1710Lysifer.Musikant]

Thank you fore this clear, and great presentation of the QC.The best I've seen for bass players till now 🙏

[@souvikchatterjee7400]

It's amazing how much effort you put in explaining the bass and gear u demo 👍

[@willrouse2351]

Expert and professional showcasing of tone setting and functions as usual. Definitely an all in one piece of gear. So many options built into one rig!

[@kereamohau]

Thank you for the upload man. Seriously great to hear these pedals from a bass players perspective. I wanna get my funk sounds to the next level

[@thefool2007]

Unreal tool- so “want” is an understatement. This is what bassists needed and the technology is here. And your playing is quite awesome (serious ear candy- your tone and techniques killlllllllllllll!).

[@czarpaul01]

This looks pretty awesome. Great demo and playing as always!

[@thewetterbass]

Amazing playing and excellent review as always. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you make it easy to understand the QC!

[@thehomienicked8208]

Thanks for this great video, Nate! I've been considering a Quad Cortex for a while. The recent updates and your demo, while you made it a couple of years ago, are what has sold me.

[@NateNavarro]

Thanks a ton! I'm glad you found the demo helpful, and I really appreciate the tip. Enjoy your QC!

[@thehomienicked8208]

@@NateNavarro I received delivery of the QC yesterday and it's just awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. :)

[@IvanBassist]

Outstanding demo, Nathan!

[@billwarner213]

This is a GREAT video!! Can’t wait for mine to arrive!

[@tylerregh]

Nate, you've done it again! Amazing

[@Robert-dt3is]

I love how this device has made it possible to bootleg pedals lol

[@sjeffy5137]

Bruh for like 3 grande it does

[@crybxbies]

For someone who works in a music shop, so do I. 👀

[@InflatableTube]

Well so far only distortions and overdrives and occasional fuzz but I do hope it can capture some of the other kinds of pedals so I can leave them in studio.

[@charliepalmer2443]

You're right, neural capture is INSANE Great demo! Thanks!

[@markust8904]

I swear to god you must be a species from another planet. Fantastic player, articulate and almost robotic when describing this pedal. Ive seen your other videos. Amazing! I have subscribed.

[@pjmtry7]

Thank you for the simple explanations, can't wait to receive my Quad Cortex!

[@GeorgeVrachliotis]

Great demo as always! QC is impressive!

[@johnmoser2689]

Nathan I totally dig that brand new Spector multi scale bass so sick

[@snavs420]

The last few days of QC videos have assured me I made the right choice in buying it. I can't wait to get it in the mail.

[@OttoStranger]

That's it! I am pulling the trigger on it and that's because of you and your fantastic demo man! I kept saying to myself that's completely overkill and I already have a full pedalboard with a hx stomp but it weighs more than 17 kg/~ 40lbs bulky and not that practical at all but Now!! I can have my amp+cab mod and all my pedals in one single enclosure ! I'm impressed and Sold 😃 thanks Nate! And thanks Neural DSP for providing us with such great products!

[@jrose92081]

Always time in my day to watch this channel.

[@InflatableTube]

Great video. I am a newer Bass VI player(about a year, guitar for like 20 years) and this thing especially with new update is so freakin nice. I love air pushed from an amp but I also love traveling light. Haha. It’s uncanny how amazing this is.

[@erikarko]

Great demo, man!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ferdinandhadiwirawan3456]

Damn, this is insane! Simple and easy to use!

[@MFitz12]

Really well done demonstration. No muss, no fuss, just get right into it and explain what the unit can do and how.

[@timorgano]

Man that first piece in the opening demo needs to be longer. That was such a tease. Very cool short bit.

[@ExtremeBassGuitar]

This thing is next level!!!

[@henrybangerter9710]

I couldn't tell if you were talking about the product or the playing lol

[@ExtremeBassGuitar]

@@henrybangerter9710 I would say they're both next level for sure!

I just checked the price, its more than my kidneys worth 🥵

The 1st 1 minute is enough! Thanks for showcasing non distortion capabilities using fishman fluence using Spector

[@kylemundy8871]

I'm going to the guitar store, buying capturing and returning every pedal they got

[@OttoStranger]

Haha! Sounds like a plan 👌

[@robertf1309]

Orrrrrr.......hear me out. We buy this....go to a guitar store and ask to demo pedals but as we "demo," we take the Quad Cortex out and then capture the pedals and then put them back being like "nahh not interested."

[@Bestuszew]

@@robertf1309 can u just do it and upload captured pedals to torrent? XDD

[@robertf1309]

@@Bestuszew We could potentially do that. But this way is funnier and more of a troll move

It's the pedal to end all pedals.

DOOD!!! I so want one of these.. Kinda outta budget for me right now tho.. So maybe someday.. But something i can afford is subscribed to your channel Nate.. You my Bass Playn brother are a total Bad Ass on a Bass.. Its almost Ridiculous , lol ... I could watch and listen to you shred a Bass for hours.. You have truly earned my Respect as a Bass Player Nate.. I thank you for sharing you undeniable gift with the world.. Keep doing what you do, it makes people smile.. well i sure did at least..

[@Skadiowo]

Awesome pedal🤑

[@Berus7777]

That "Hysteria" preset was jaw-dropping. This is what happens when companies like Line 6 try to ride a product for 6 years or more... someone else comes along, and drinks their milkshake.

Waaw the funk filter

[@jayl5941]

Perfectly presented as always. Any chance you would share those few presets you ran through with the jazz bass?

[@BassRacerx]

i'm impressed. I don't know if i'm $1700 impressed.

[@adwitatherealadwita]

I mean, if you compare the price of this singular floor unit to the prices of the real world counterparts that it contains, I'd say it's worth it. Plus this is the same price as the Kemper Stage, The Line6 Helix, though significantly more expensive than the Headrush.

[@duster8373]

my credit card company is about to be impressed

[@anthonyman8008]

Roiyte!

[@oswaldgeorge2048]

I thought so at one point, but i'm mainly a guitarist and it is amazing for no amp for both my guitar and bass gigs!!

Now they’re over $1800 for the same release model

[@michaelherrera491]

Nate Many thanks for the awesome vid I’m on the back order list at Sweetwater for the QC I’m also on the back order list for the Darkglass ADAM After watching this video, I’m canceling my back order for the ADAM The $500 usd I’ll save by not purchasing the ADAM, I’ll use towards buying the QC Yes it’s bookoo more bucks, but when your look into the infinite amount of things that the QC can accomplish, purchasing the QC is a no brainer I need to mention that I also watched your great video on the Darkglass ADAM Kindest regards Mike

[@jboosey]

Man those pedals make basses sound so damn good! Obviously I would just have it on a 👋 setting 😂

[@GodVraccas]

Great demo as always! How would you compare the Quad Cortex to a Source Audio Ecosystem Pedalboard?

[@suicidebag666]

Thanks for the video Nathan. Silly question, but can you load tones that you have in Parrallax or other plugins into this?

[@shuruff904]

I was lowkey waiting for Nate to break out the ole drill...

[@samuelviden7412]

Great demo! Which mode on the Fluence were the cleaner clips done on; 1 and/or 2?

[@tjoepatjoep]

Great video. I hear something about glitches or dropouts when switching between presets. Have you experienced that?

[@mr.m.u.k.5944]

Hi Nate, awesome and very informative video. One question: In your view, what would be a sensible FRFR speaker solution for this device? I see that you use a bunch of cabs from Genzler. Could you please tell me its exact type? Many thanks in advance!

[@jml19221]

So this is an amp modeler, a sampler and a multi fx box!! 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀

[@GillRigged]

WOW

[@MahDantasAlmeida]

Excelent video! Want to buy one but it's very f*cking expensive here in Brazil.

[@William_Earl]

Hey, Nate! Which FF bass do you recommend between the Spector and NG3 for someone who will probably only be able to get one or the other?

[@craggerrs]

I wish I had the tekkers to justify such a purchase - one day - ONE DAY

[@tifdemun]

Hi! Do you know if it's possible, when recording, to record clean from one output, and with effects from another output? Trying to explain a little better: from the same input, I would split the signal: one clean going from output 1, for example, to a preamp; the other one I would apply effects, and going from output 2 to another preamp. Is that possible? Thank you!

[@lpl723]

awesome!!!!! maybe you could do disco ulysses by vulfpeck sometime

[@WattchomanBrandySavage]

Wow, one stop tone shop.

[@budaroddy]

This is superb now i need the money lol

[@darrenanthony66]

Great video. Is the ADAM preset you used on the factory setup or did you capture it?

[@NateNavarro]

Thanks, Darren! That was a capture from my ADAM pedal. I'll share it on Cortex Mobile.

[@pedrolax9275]

I've probably missed it in another video, but what's the deal with the thing on the upper horn of the natural finish bass?

[@GoudVis56667]

Great vid man! You captured a pedal in this case, in what format did it get stored? Does it turn into a preset or does it turn into an amp or effects block? How can you mix and match captured sounds with the stock sounds?

[@456or7strings]

It turns into a block that you can place anywhere in the chain just like the other amp/effects blocks

[@idiosapien]

I would love to see if QC can replicate Source Audio's foldback distortion like on the ultrawave or mulitwave distortion.
