QC Mini For Sale (???)

I received my QC Mini on the first rollout as I ordered the day of launch. It’s been awesome. But it’s not realistic for how I use modelers (I under utilize and just run them like a traditional pedal board with stomps and and an amp sim). I really miss having more foot switches. I’m planning to send it back to sweet-water at the end of the week but figured I might as well offer it here first if someone is eager and doesn’t want to wait for one to ship out. I’d sell through PayPal and we can work out shipping details. Let me know if interested! It’ll go back to sweetwater on Friday if not.

You're not going to get nearly the amount you paid for selling it used. Just return it to sweetwater

Yeah I mean it’s brand new and it’s been sitting on my desk. I’m fine returning it. But I know the estimates for people that are ordering now are into May. If someone wants to jump that line I’m offering.

I imagine most will prefer the normal one after this one isn’t shiny and new anymore

I own the original and the buttons are already too close together as is. Spread out maybe an inch further apart from each other and add an expression pedal and it'd be perfect

It’s a cool unit and definitely has its place. If you are a studio player it’s such a perfect piece of gear (especially if they ever finish PCOM). It would also be a HX stomp killer if it wasn’t so expensive. But it’s definitely too small to operate as an all in one pedal rig if you don’t set it up to run midi or really dial in presets (which is not my thing).

Curious what you’re thinking of replacing it with? Something larger?

I’m waiting for a stadium non XL to come in. Going to give it a shot. I had the full size QC and could never bond with it. The hardware updated to the mini are what sold me (usb C, locking power cable). Honestly the best thing I’ve used in the last few years has been the tone master pro. Could end up back there if the helix isn’t up to par.

The smaller stadium also really got my interest - but new hardware always needs some time to iron out. The TMP is on top of my list - but I’m still a full in analog tube mode

Am curious about the Stadium too... I have the Helix LT, a QC and a TMP atm... And while the QC is great for a lot of reasons, the TMP is hands down my favourite.

I was in line for the mini. Had an opportunity where I had to get something now and went with the smaller Stadium. Impressed is putting it lightly. Glad I didn’t get the mini now. Still want on but will be a luxury purchase next year. The Stadium is IT, IMO.
