BONUS: The Nano Cortex has a physical ground lift switch!!!

@@aaronshortmusic I think I was trying to make a joke that I had to pay extra for the ground switch. Don’t mind me, a lot of my jokes suck 😂

I used our singer's QC for about a month when he first got it so I could setup everything and build some patches for our shows and the narrow footswitch spacing is an actual problem. On stage when you're moving around, focusing on the mic and hoping you got your foot in the right spot, yeah you can accidentally hit the wrong switch or... you know... if it's late in the night and those whiskey shots have taken over.... The only two real reasons I think the nano is better than the QC is size and price. After going through spending a LOT of time with the high gain amp models in the QC, I found that 99.99% of the time, I greatly preferred the sound of high quality captures. I don't see the nano missing the amp models being a drawback. Good captures just plain sound better to my ears and my singer so I won't miss them in the nano. And the small size is great. I didn't like any of the drive boosts in the QC and after capturing a few of my drive pedals, it just didn't feel or sound like the analog pedal. Something was off. It will be interesting to see A) what updates and new features will Neural add to the nano and B) how quickly will the new features get rolled out. I think that, like the QC when it was first launched, it's a very capable hardware platform but is missing features that make it truly compelling for the masses and I am assuming they added enough stuff to it to make it palatable to enough buyers that they could confidently launch the product and start making money but it needs more to steal any thunder from the competitors.

It's a really intertesting idea. I'm almost wishing I waited one more month before diving back into the QC and just gotten this instead, I only use captures from my QC and my effects are coming from pedals anyways. Are you still using both Aaron?

@aaronshortmusic 2 ай бұрын

No I sold the Nano on and kept the Quad Cortex as I use it as my interface now as well. I just bought a Kemper Player as my super compact rig as it gives me no compromises in a tiny pedal.

there is a setting on the quad cortex that allows you to turn off what the big nob does. I only have the headphones enable on mine.

Captures yes but no amp models or the various effects aside from a single delay, reverb and chorus.

It’s different. I am puzzled as to why not the modelling too, even simply selected in the app. Can’t wait for mine to arrive

@aaronshortmusic 3 ай бұрын

The models take way more DSP than the captures. I have a feeling the Nano is only running one processor. Maybe they will make a Dual Cortex next…

Some people are saying that the Nano cortex sounds better than the original quad cortex with the same captures. Is that true?

@truthfactreality6814 3 ай бұрын

It’s exact same tech and algorithm

@aaronshortmusic 3 ай бұрын

I compared and they sound the same BUT the ‘cabs’ in the Nano only have 6 positions and one mic so there will be sonic differences there. I didn’t try making a capture with it.

This is the only device on the market WHERIN you can capture the entire signal chain not just amps ….its a game changer

@aaronshortmusic 3 ай бұрын

You can’t capture the entire signal chain. Drive, amp, cab, EQ. still need the time based effects.

If it’s a part of a pedalboard then I get it and it will mean there are more captures in the cloud. I guess QC owners don’t need to worry about it. I just hope some of the features come to QC. I really want a mobile editor.
