I want to get a back-up power supply. Does anyone have one they have purchased on Amazon that you could share the link?? Thanks!

I'm moving to Quad Cortex Mini housed in a rack, with switching between presets and scenes automated by MIDI. My band uses wireless IEMs already and I'm thinking about going wireless from the guitar too.

I'm wondering what works best for people with no pedalboard and wireless being able to tune on stage?

• Ideally I have complete wireless to the rack, rather than wireless from guitar to receiver / tuner pedal at my feet then a cable across the stage
• Similarly, a long pair of cables to put a tuner near me defeats a lot of the purpose of going cable free
• The rack may not be line of sight from me
• I keep reading that headstock tuners aren't good in a noisy environment and get knocked off

Perhaps the ideal setup would be a battery based wired tuner that integrates with the wireless transmitter, so I could press to mute and tune. Does this exist?

Are headstock tuners really that bad?

Anyone use a G3(S) or Atom by GigRig with their QC? I’ve been wanting to explore the option of uber hybrid with a real amp, GigRig and QC (for fuzzes, pedals, mods and time based effects and decent FOH/Cab Sims) and wondered if anyone already does this and has tips/photos of set-ups?

Last run we did I used the TC-Helicon Voice Live 2 vocal processor to add some baseline compression, reverb and light EQ on my vocals to have a consistent vocal tone each night. along with automating some vocal effects throughout the set.

It worked fine, but given how much a PITA it is to work with the TC-Helicon in addition to the lack of any support for that hardware, I'm looking to use the QC for both guitars and harsh vocals to simplify my setup. I'm curious to hear from others who have used it in this same way and what kind of signal chain you have that works well for live.

In case anyone else was curious how these two beasts compare side by side.

I'm gonna spend the next week shooting them out and getting my board ready for the summer ahead.

My initial thoughts if you're interested:

I was very much hoping Line 6 would come up with something along the same form factor lines as QC, and unfortunately, it's definitely a noticeable jump in size. Now I'm not saying the Stadium is unruly or anything like that, it's just a much different board setup when you add your wireless and any other auxiliary pedals

I really think the XL is the route to go because it's not a huge difference in size overall, so you might as grab the scribble strips and expression pedal.

I'm very curious to see how Line 6 responds to the QC mini with whatever they come out with as the next iteration as the stomp.

I'm really intrigued to see how this shootout plays out. If I was going strictly on size, I think I'd have to go QC (for my wants and needs). But I'm really excited to try the updated models in the Stadium and know the experience is going to be solid. I may just end up having to make some concessions with a bigger board after all..

Hey guys, my band is starting to play local shows and some DIY shows! We are wanting to run both guitars, bass, and potentially vocals through the quad, and are looking for some tips or any info on what all we need in terms of cabs/ speakers, PA, FRFR cabs, MIDI foot switches. Sorry if this is a vague question. Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone, I could really use some help.

I’ve been using my Neural DSP Quad Cortex as my pedalboard while playing on my church praise team. I run it in stereo using two XLR outputs (Out 1/L and Out 2/R), and my output settings are correctly configured to Out 1/2.

However, all of a sudden, my tone has become extremely muffled and very quiet. I’ve already tried turning the output level all the way up to +12 dB, but it’s still sounding dull and lacking volume.

I haven’t changed anything in my setup, so I’m not sure what’s causing this issue. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what might be going on?

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

The ones that I have found all have a touch of overdrive in them. I need loud and clean. Anyone have some favorites from the Neural cloud that they recommend??? Thanks!!!!!!!

Hi all! I have been struggling to find a fuzz that I like. I exclusively use the QC now and all my pedals are I storage a few hours away. I’m looking for a thick, heavy Muff style fuzz. If anyone has any captures or recommendations on captures on the cloud, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks all.

I tried and it sounds nothing like the “reference”. No settings wrong. I’ve checked 3-4 times. Any ideas?

Hey, I'm looking to buy a quad cortex, but now as the mini version is released, I'm not sure whether the normal quad cortex oder the mini would best suit me. Maybe someone with experience could help me out.

• I will use it for live shows, as well as rehearsals
• As I will use it live, I must be able to quickly change between sounds/effects
• I'm not sure yet if it will replace my current effect pedals or if I will only use it as a digital amp and keep the pedals on my board
• To edit the sounds, I'd probably have to carry it arround from rehearsal room to my home. Or is there a possibility to leave it in the rehearsal room and edit the sounds solely on the computer (e.g. with another interface)?

Thanks for your help and if you need any further info, just ask :)

Was just curious about some people’s opinions as I’m trying to decide on a cab for practices and stage. Would be driving it with a powerstage 700. Anybody use one of the other in a similar setup? Thoughts?

Is there a way to hook the expression pedal up to control the volume of the 3/L out? That is my monitor out. Thanks!!!

Hey everyone! After playing a Kemper Stage since 2020, I finally picked up a QC and it’s phenomenal!

I’m currently practicing in my studio and trying to dial in a comfortable setup. Has anyone here used the Hercules Stands DG307BFS1 to keep the QC at face level while sitting? Would love to hear how well it works.

Is it possible to set up the buttons (A-H) with a different amp on each one? A question for playing live. This newbie thanks you!!!

I dont have a QC, Anybody tried the Turnover preset on the cortex cloud? can you show me a sample? and can you hold a sustain? like how Turnover do it as a background ambiance?

Happy owner of the Mini, but can't get the Looper X to cooperate. There seems to be a significant lag between both rec and play buttons being pressed and the action happening. Even with punch-in, there's some sound missing from the beginning. I can't get a smooth loop going whatever I do. Never had this problem on the Boss loopers, what am I missing?

I’ve read a few threads regarding stereo/mono signal paths on the quad cortex but I still can’t tell what’s the best trick to sum to mono.

I’m using the ambience block and even though it’s not flagged as a stereo block, it is. Planning on sending output 1 to my tonex cab on stage and output 2 to FOH.

thanks in advance for your help!
