The QC has blown away my expectations. I’ve owned Mesa, Engl and H&K tube amps and a handful of digital models including an Axe fx 2 and I’ve never had better tone than I’ve achieved with the QC.

[KilgoreTrout]

It’s like having a buddy who knows just fill you in.

I grasped so much more from this video than the other hour+ videos so far.

Much appreciated.

[raymondforbes]

This video blew my mind. I learned so much about making presets from this. I have struggled with how to properly use stereo and this answered so many questions. Thank you!!

[ljubolukic]

You are the sound god my man! All the feel and knowledge about HOW to play these sounds makes you one of the most versatile guitarists out there, keep doing what you're doing!

[Walvid]

Funny thing about this vid: I've been using the QC since the day it came out. Everything he did, I knew. But it was still so inspirational to see you do it. Just a nice overvieuw of how to set up a great sound. And the playing is soooo tasty. I guess that's the thing that is lacking when I'm playing.... the licks. The Runs. Thanks man, very inspiring.

I just got QC 1.5 years after I sold my first one. Back then I felt like it was missing a lot of important features but Neural DSP did one hell of a job in the past 10 months. This video helps a lot with navigating the QC and does a great job showing a great use case.

[alexw]

Wow. Did not understand 17:05 on my first (skim) watch, but a fantastic insight into the workings of the QC. For anyone who didn't understand as I didn't: earlier in the video he says top two rows are 1/2 CPU, bottom two are other 1/2. So here he's used too much of the 1/2 CPU dedicated to the top rows, so by moving blocks to the bottom rows they get to use the second 1/2 of CPU reserved for these.

[Zach-Rosicka]

I don’t even have a quad cortex and this was so enjoyable to watch! You’re playing, tones and building expertise is awesome! Looking forward to snagging one soon and as always, thanks for all the value you had to all of us out here in Guitar Land

[Jdhayes]

That clean ambient sound in the intro is soooo good!

[ianmansfield]

Like an angry Hornets nest all buzzing in wartime unison to the sounds of first life bursting into flower in the waters of a giant underground cave, I love the contrasts of Bea's tones... always interesting, always badass.

[curtissyoung]

Wow! Blown away by how good the QC sounds and how easy it looks to set up, thanks for putting this out, B

[markchristianson]

thanks for being an active part of the community, Bea. Great content and playing, as always! Nice to see the Shoegaze concept is still alive too

[cgh]

Just got the quad cortex a week ago absolutely love it !!!
Thanks for making this video!!

[JonOlavAlstad.]

I just got my Quad Cortex yesterday so this will be very useful! Coming from the Helix there is much to learn, but so far I'm enjoying the ride!

[castigo]

Uso este preset en vivo y realmente es demoledor, gracias Rabea, eres todo una inspiración hermano.

[BobbyDidcott]

Awesome set up, my band are running two guitars through the quad with automatic scene changes running throughout the set.Instant changes and the tones most importantly are spot on with next to no latency.

I love the Quad, I don't think there is any other unit that comes close to having the same amount of functional and practical routing options for guitarists and young bands with small cars!

[titustorkelsonmusic]

This is incredible! Thank-you Rabea for taking us through this! I just got a QC this week and absolutely love it. Super helpful stuff when setting up a stereo rig and managing the CPU load. Keep up the great work and playing!

[danielgallardo]

Thank you for the quick tutorial! I had no idea that I needed to pan the L and R settings on the splitter to achieve that extra wide sound. Time to go into my presets and have some fun.

[wolvesandguitars]

I enjoy when you build from scratch. It is really really helpful to those who think there must be a secret. When you added the delay the spread really opened up and it was all smiles !!

[TheVillagerDoesThings]

I could listen to you playing all day long
