Quad Cortex || Factory Presets Runthrough

[@michaelsharpe2041]

Been looking everyday for someone running through some presets. Thank you!

[@johnnathancordy]

Would you want me do some more?

[@michaelsharpe2041]

@@johnnathancordy yes I'm very interested in the heavy presets and the more "out there" preset sounds that it has to offer. And have you messed around with downloading presets or captures from the neural app?

[@RyanHicks306]

This is the video I was waiting for! Thanks for sharing.

[@RyanHicks306]

It sounds as good if not better than I thought it would. I love deep dives and adjustments, but I also appreciate the out of the box presets. This is nicely set-up and the presets sound great.

This channel = everything you want to know about a piece of gear but you were afraid to ask, you haven't asked yet, you were going to ask but forgot, or you hadn't thought to ask. Your subscriber count doesn't match how amazing the content is, but I hope it soon will.

Super helpful run through🤘🏾🎸Thanks. 👏🏾👍👍#staysafe

[@rockbilly6710]

all of those presets are f-ing awesome!

[@stevenparis8237]

Wonderful playing excellent chord voicings lovely melodies enjoy the way that you think 🤔

[@MikaTarkela]

I'm at 2:15 and you already convinced me to buy this unit. Damn it!

[@dirkjanreinders330]

That Pull Me Under riff with the Mega Marks, very tasty.

[@pekkalaaksonen8384]

Great demo, thanks! Very good sounds also right off the bat. I think that still with most modelers, the sound’s “greatness” is much to do with the pickups and in most cases requires some tweaking to everyone’s own taste.

[@alexwong7]

My idea of fun is watching you play through the presets on a modeller. What I'm fast learning is that my version of fun is what most would call sad or pathetic, but I'm happy enough with my coffee, youtube and headphones. The point being that maybe fun is unevenly distributed, or appreciation of what is fun is lacking some places. I am on the list for a QC and an FM3 - both due within weeks. That's a dilemma, but a fun one to have...

[@kiwiramjet5625]

A QC AND an FM3?! Wow that’s WAY too much fun for my feeble mind to handle LOL

[@kiwiramjet5625]

Interested to know what you stayed with

[@alexwong7]

@@kiwiramjet5625 I ignored the QC for a few months thinking Fractal's gazillion options meant it had to be better. Then I took the QC to a rehearsal and sold the FM3 a few days later. Think when CorOS 2.0 comes out (the next upgrade for the QC). it's going to be finally the product we wanted at the start, but the basic functionality and the ease at which you can get great tones sets it apart for me. You can get great tones out of any modeller, but for me, what sets it apart is I can get what I want and adjust what I'm using so easily that the tones are better given my limited ability to dial stuff in.

[@stevefearon9337]

Old definition of fun.. going to see a band you love or dancing till your legs fell off in some quarry somewhere.... New definition of fun seeing how far you get into your shopping before the security guard realises you aren’t wearing a face nappy. something may have gone very wrong.. ✌️

[@sujithedwin]

Lovely playing..

[@simonharper9222]

👍🏼 can you do a setup run through if enough ask. Unless I’ve missed it.

[@ChippsChippendale]

I just came back so that I could give you props for your '3.5 Funs' deadpan quip. The world needs more of that nonsense... :-)

[@cojoc70]

Great demo!!!Thanks.

[@kenmasters007]

They stereo presets are amazing! 4HA

[@tonepilot]

I was going to watch the whole thing then I realized I have the Quad Cortex sitting next to me and I can do this myself. Then I realized I can see what someone else gets out of these presets and decided I should watch it. I'm conflicted.

[@johnnathancordy]

Wait lol why would you watch this with the Quad next to you haha this is for the folks waiting.... Although there were a few presets I found that I hadn't tried much before. I've forgotten what they were called now...

[@tonepilot]

@@johnnathancordy I've been going through our setlist and matching sounds to the songs we do. Have created a few from scratch too. The factory captures are pretty good.

[@Doty6String]

great playing

[@toddcollins6746]

When it sounds that good / you don’t have to say much!

[@mikepol1889]

Would you pick the quad cortex over the axe fx 3 for studio use?

[@1972Georges]

thanks. sounds great.

[@grahamcharlton9704]

Fun to watch. Being obtuse here - is each of these presets made up of an amp + cab. + effects? Ta.

[@dominicspizzirri4399]

Me desperately waiting for mine to show up. Some day. SOME. DAY. );

[@RNmike96]

I love the moody blues. Is tbat a preset ?

[@Vienzbow]

ok betwen this and the helix, which sound pretty identical, which is the better unit?

[@manuman94]

I'm now searching for this presets on my new Quad Cortex and I see that they have changed. I'm interested in the 5E "Boost" preset as it's so similar to the Tesseract style. Are you able to send me what's the pipeline for that tone? Thanks!

[@woutersamaey8574]

Which guitar are you playing here? Humbucker?

[@andrewdaileychufable]

What was that beginning bit about mate? Fun? Sorry

[@paultheriault7627]

Sounds like all the presets in your video are bright and clear...mine sound bassy...im running some decent monitors (focal shape 65) and also have focal headphones...did you add EQ's in this video?

[@johnnathancordy]

No EQ added Paul! There's not anything going on with your global EQ is there? Oh also I think I was using Single Coils for this?

[@paultheriault7627]

@@johnnathancordy I'll have to check the global EQ...thanks! Sounds fantastic from your end! I almost exclusively use single coils

[@jasonbrowne007]

Did you ever solf this issue ? Are u happy with the QC

[@luckyno888]

I don't like the idea of Socialist Funism. The unequal distibution of fun drives the desire to make more fun, more innovative fun and to have fun more efficiently and cost effectively.

[@ant1738]

Is a Van Halen Brown sound preset?

[@kevinwong6332]

what guitar？please

[@10000rajaram]

Cordy ! You need to play more on the FM3 !

[@johnnathancordy]

YESSIR!

[@paoloschiano9900]

And on the good old Ax8 and Kemper!

[@NamelessMan666]

Somehow every amp model sounds the same just with a different EQ. Although in real life they are clearly different. Some have less gain stages, some more, some have small transformers, some larger, some have EL34, some 6L6... but still here I hear the same gain structure, same kind of fizz. Neural DSP entered the modeler market quite late and has a lot of work to do.

[@johnnathancordy]

You're not the first person to say that. I don't think they're doing as much as some of the competition in terms of modelling power amp behaviour such as sag etc? Could that be part of the reason?

[@NamelessMan666]

@@johnnathancordy To some degree yes. But of course some interactions and phenomenon of tube amps are in the preamp section as well - the sag also happens there, just like bias excursion etc.

[@marksifuentes1002]

You want an even distribution of fun, but sharing is inherently not fun. Fact. Proof: lend me your Quad Cortex

Is it just me? I’m not impressed. Still happy with my fractal fx2

[@johnnathancordy]

I think I'm with you

[@matdown5024]

Would you recommend the Fractal over the QC? Personally I love the tones on this vid! Seem to be such a genuine feeling to the touch and the ears

[@davidg-oo1ox]

@@matdown5024 fractal is simply the best. Expensive yes but Worth it.

[@sinnertrain7405]

Wow these presets are very underwhelming. I guess you have to tweak your own settings for this to sound good, just like every other modelling unit. I'll have to say that when it comes to the Van Halen style presets, the first patch on the Hotone Ampero blows the one demoed here way out of the water. I listen you 2nd video on presets. I'm looking for Fender and Vox cleans or with just a bit of OD.

There's a lot of Fun Inequality in the USA also, I'm afraid, and no real plan to address this problem.

[@Deep_Jimpact]

Keep your leftist fun control politics out of your channel. UNSUBSCRIBED

[@anaccount8474]

A lot of them are rubbish, completely unusable for any practical purposes. Also, you can't switch seamlessly between presets mid song, so unless you're using one setting for a whole song they aren't much use. I've had a QC 6 months now and I'm yet to be convinced it's any better than a few good pedals and a decent amp.
