Should you buy a Quad Cortex in 2024?

Going over scenarios where the Quad Cortex is the right choice in 2024.

Great video! Thanks for the shout out!

I totally agree the reason the QC is so good is all because of the capturing system. You get way more bang for buck with the complete plethora of captures from the cloud, And with plugin compatibility coming real soon the quad cortex is gonna be a monster of a modeler.

For that type of workflow, it's definitely unmatched, except maybe Kemper, but Kemper is long in the tooth in terms of usability and whatnot.

The power supply scared me away from the QC and had me drop a couple grand on an FM 9, I also didn't want to deal with the headache of the ground hum issues a lot of people experience with the QC, and the models in the fractal are awesome! I was close to getting the QC, but glad I went with the FM 9

Absolutely understandable, hope they iterate and improve it for their next revision.

I've had the Headrush and QC is way, way better. Haven't tried the Boss as I've had the GT-1000 and did not like the sounds at all. Do you ever run the QC as a virtual pedalboard or 4CM with the Orange? I recently got a Rocker 15 and have been playing around with that and really enjoying it.

[@TheGooseChaseMusic]

I actually haven't run it 4CM, but I did put it in front of an amp briefly to test something. I'll have to give that another go!

The title coreespomds to units being on the market for a decade. Qc is only 2 years out so how it shouldnt be a good idea to buy a 2 years old unit ?

[@TheGooseChaseMusic]

haha you are right, but i feel like the market moves so fast, and folks have been waiting for Quad Cortex updates for so long, it feels like its been out for longer than it has.

If your not using captures than you might aswell stick with a Helix. If you are using the captures then it’s the goat modeller atm.
