V4 Amp 4 Cable Method with a Quad Cortex - John Connearn

[@fraenkiboii]

You could also feed the two notes out directly into one of the QCs returns. These are TRS balanced mono. I like this, because you’re basically treating the external amp like a combination of an amp and cab block.

[@chrisdudeword1]

@fraenkiboii I just downloaded this and was wondering why I was still able to control my physical amp eq. Your explanation made it make sense. I thought I had hooked it up to use preamps from the QC into my amps power amp section. This setup is almost better for my desired application. Awesome!

[@truthfactreality6814]

I set my QC up with the bluguitar amp 1 iridium. It switches it midi too. Epic setup

Digital John!

[@johnconnearnmusic]

What a combo ey! Thanks all :)

[@christianholden1859]

Great demo! This really helps with understanding the possibilities for the V4 range. Would it be possible/make sense to run this in the effects loop of the QC directly? So guitar -> QC - > Jack in effects loop -> back to QC (using the Jack's 1/4 cab simulated output) -> then use the QC xlr outputs? I was hoping to route it that way with either a QC or Helix to keep the stereo path and not have to take up to cab block

[@verruckterwissenschaftler]

That is complete dope in two three locked boxes

[@timharding7381]

I’ve been using this method with a HX Stomp and a Rev D20. Works brilliantly. This looks great too. 🙏🏼

[@BenjisBoxingChannel]

My rig is a V30, Quad Cortex and a Two Notes Torpedo live. Match made in heaven.

[@lucasmiotti2429]

Hey! How does QC + V30 work with other amp emulations? Is it possible?

[@BenjisBoxingChannel]

@@lucasmiotti2429 this set up can do anything and everything using the 4 cable method.

[@willopen]

​@Benjamin the v30 has a master volume so what do you use the two notes for?

[@RedGreen-x1v]

Hi John i am using this method with my boss MS3 which has 3 effects loops that can be used not unlike your set up , just one question if you accidentally turn of the loop with the jack or switch to a patch without the loop turned on in it there is a massive volume increase as it seems the power amp of the v4 is not controlled my the master volume ? have you noticed this

[@MrSwanny66]

Hi John, I have a Victory Countess pre amp (unpowered) could this be used throught the QC into a powered frfr cab? I'd ideally only use the QC for effects in this setup

[@VictoryAmps]

Yes this should be fine to use in this application. You can have the QC after the V4 pre amp and this should be fine. Thanks Victory

[@jameswaterfield6187]

Hi, what kind of cables are needed? Or does it not matter? QC manual says TS, or TRS in some situations so I'm confused.

[@VictoryAmps]

Hi James, for the effects loop the cables are just regular instrument cables, if you want to use the remote switching function on the footswitch input on the amp a TRS is needed for the dual function, thanks Victory

[@MondoLoops]

How does the QC compare to the likes of their VST counterparts?

[@AndGuitar]

Sounds great! Could you make a QC capture of that tone from 15:46 please? Thanks!

[@CarlosFerreiraOfficial]

Would it be possible to change the Victory channel with something like the boss gx100 connected to the footswitch jack?

[@VictoryAmps]

Yes this should have a remote channel switching output on the GX100, on the V4 amps there is a footswitch jack socket, this can be used to change channel and turn the reverb on and off. Thanks Victory

[@CarlosFerreiraOfficial]

@@VictoryAmps Thank you

[@elopez7692]

Is the clean sound of this amp/pedal similar to The Duchess?? Or the are very different?

[@VictoryAmps]

The clean is not the same as the Duchess clean, the Duchess clean is more 50's American style. Whereas the Jack is little bit more modern.

[@elopez7692]

@@VictoryAmps awesome!! Thank you!!!

[@bpmthree]

Have you tried capturing the V4 in the QC?

[@Bill83C]

How high gain is the Jack? I play Breaking Benjamin or Alter Bridge style high gain but also need a clean channel for ambient cleans. I plan to use my HX effects in 4 cable method with the amp as well.

[@VictoryAmps]

Hi Bill, the Jack on it's 2nd channel has a lot of gain which should be perfect for this style of play, channel one is designed to be a clean channel that when you push the gain up it crunches up. Thanks Victory

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

Can you guys answer if the EQ and master volumes are pre or post the effects loop?

[@VictoryAmps]

They are both before the effects loop.

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

@@VictoryAmps Damn. Was hoping otherwise. Thank you for your prompt reply 🙂

[@Utube-g3g]

But John, I use just the return fx for power and real guitar cabinet and it feels like a real amp. No 4cable method. No offense. I’m just saying how I use it. Sounds and feels great.
