Comprehensive, intelligent. Gary’s tech savvy and well spoken. Excellent content. Nice work. I watched the whole thing and I don’t even own one of these (yet).

[kristianolsen]

Thanks a million for your video Gary. Makes perfect sense for a QC novice 🤟🏻No clickbait in sight!

This was a life saver, just picked up my quad cortex today and this is exactly what I needed to get up and running, cheers man!

[DebowyMocny]

Hi Gary, this is by far the best beginners guide to QC. I hope you make more QC content. Many thanks!

[DYSTmusic]

I just received mine and this video series is exactly what I needed - subbed

[TheDarkEthereal]

Waiting for mine to arrive. Meanwhile, watching this made me more anxious. Can't wait!. Thanks for taking the time to explain to us newbies. :)

[EePingLiang]

Hell yea! Just bought my Quad this month and have used 3 patches. Brit 2203, Rolls Jazz CH120 and the life changing EV101IIIRed. I been searching for the sound I had a decade ago with the 2X12 5150 Combo. Regrettably I had to sell that gear. Fast forward to last month on the fence about QC, then randomly decided to go buy it. Once I heard the EVH Red patch - it ended. It is perfect. My unicorn search has ended. lol Haven't touched a setting. Haven't felt I wanted to. And still EASILY worth every dollar. Just for those 3 patches. It's wiiiild. Changed my life QC has done with this. Beautifully done.

Keep up the QC videos. Cheers.

Thought I'd suggest what I''m using for an amp. Yorkville 100W Powerwedge. Super affordable and doesn't color the sound at all. It's very nice.

Hey Gary, thanks again for all you help. I have question. I really want to use the QC out live tonight. sometimes I switch to an acoustic guitar (Piezo only) nice guitar.. anywho, I chose a stock preset that I really like but im getting some bad hummm. I've done the correct trouble shooting, still a hum. what would you suggest I maybe change in the preset? thanks, Teddy

[tonykennedy]

Big thanks for this video, really interesting

I'm a long time Fractal guy and curiosity has got the better of me and I've ordered a swanky black Cortex
Looking forward to trying it out, and this vid has definitely provided some useful stuff

[thetinyflames]

Thank you for such an excelent beginers guide, it is really helpfull to start

[TeddyMcCready]

thank you Gary, you are a tremendous help. sent you a little tip. appreciate you man

[jaysonjohnson]

Look in the owners manual for finding out what amp is named on the qc, its a free download from neural, just go to the website. Look in the devices section, toward the end of the manual, and it tells you exactly what everything is modeled after in detail.
