Marshall Plexi VS Neural DSP Quad Cortex 

Cheers Val!

Anytime Jorge

Thanks Victor!

Cheers Joe, much appreciated

What are you talking about?!? The Plexi sounds like a real amp, QD doesn´t!

@@michaelwirth6843 you’re gonna tell someone what they hear lol

@@jeremyedwards9304 it sounds close but the Plexi is def fuller on the low/mids, if you can't hear that you're tone deaf .

Cheers John, that Marshall amp is so good.

Cheers Jay, yep that Marshall is killer

Cheers as always Scuba

Cheers Jason!

Nice one, let me know how it goes.

Hi, thanks so much. Will do.

@@TheStudioRats So whats the cloud name? :D

Cheers Leo.

I’ve had both and amps first and pedals. But the quad wins in all areas. It reacts when you lower the guitar’s volume. The Kemper sounded like a cocked wah when I’d lower the guitar’s volume. I couldn’t wait to sell it for many reasons. Many reasons. The feel. It need da pedal to help it with sound and feel. Ui was awful. Rig manager a pita. I don’t want to be tied to a computer myself.

Anytime Nicolae

just got mine after waiting 6 months, worth the wait. Now if I can just figure out how to use it

Cheers Rob.

Glad you liked it

Thanks 👍

EXACTLY what I was about to type, I see a great many beat me to it lol

yes please. Post it

Yes...I am thinking in buying a QC, and if I can have this sound, It's a no brainer for me.

Nice one, cheers Ben!

Cheers Ricky

Thanks Paul, I’m glad you do.

Cheers Ian.

Put it higher up. You can’t compare that hd500 thing. I had one. It was awful. Actually a lot of the pros are using it on the floor. I’ve seen some bands have them on metal slides out of a metal cabinet. But the foot switches will hold up. You can’t protect a pedal board either on the floor.

Agreed the Marshall is definitely top.

DSP is the future. They will get more and more powerful and there will be the point when you won't need tubes anymore. In fact, tubes are the outdated technology (last century/millennium) that requires a lot of electric power, produces a lot of heat and not really reliable:)

Yes, definitely real amp wins, QC sounds good but it is only that, sounds good.

I second that notion!

Hi Anna, thanks! It still does feel different, it’s a small thing but it is there. Good luck with the FM3 I hear it’s great.

For me the Quad Cortex is a chance (probably my only chance) to have a $100,000 dollars in amps without actually having to buy them. It's so close that most cannot tell the difference in blind test. I think the main difference you're hearing is the volume. People have a built in bias to automatically think louder is better.

It's not always 100% about the audience. In most instances, the audience won't care if you're playing through a 1992 Line 6 solid state amp. They just want to hear the rhythm and the vocals of the songs they like. As long as it's there, they're usually happy, barring few people that can really discern the differences. Your amp and guitar have a very clear and defined relationship that involves more than just "does it sound like that amp I like." The amp provides character, feel, and response. These things are what inspire us to play certain licks, rhythms, styles, etc... So pick the amp that inspires you the most based on all of those characteristics, not just "omg people that don't play an instrument will never know the difference."

@@IndyRockStar amps are always better and depending on the amp they take pedals better but… this is the best modeler I’ve ever had in feel, sound, UI, no computer needed just a cell. Compact and cool factor. The plug in whiners don’t realize neural already put a lot of those captures in there already. The whiners just don’t want to put out the money or move away from their computers. Meanwhile, the people that literally have signature plug ins are using the actual quad on stage. Pro or not, I love it.

Cheers knock knock

Hi Spencer, I haven’t, I’ll see if they can loan me one to review.

I agree. I love my amps and pedals but the quad is the best feeling and sounding modeler out there right now. With the best UI. I’m glad I’m no longer tied to a computer as well. Amps will always come first though with pedals as I’ve said.

@@Utubewrk123 Still have and buy tube amps, and if I could actually use them as designed I'd transport them. I've owned many modelers including Vox, Boss, Fractal, Line 6, they all were good at the time, but like most technologies they continue to improve in many ways. My main modeler now is a Boss SY-1000. However, I'm building a small, portable wireless rig around the Mooer Prime P1, the sounds are very good, but there's very little feel. All in all, for the price and size, I can make it work. Fits in a lunchbox size carry case, with 2 wireless systems, wireless in-ears, footswitch, cables and USB charger. Even fits my Tech 21 PSA 2.0.

Hi Gabriel. As far as I know??? that’s not possible yet. But I could be wrong.

@@TheStudioRats No problem!! Thank you so much. Cheers!!

Cheers RL. Will do.

it was miced. cheers.

@@TheStudioRats So wouldn't that mean you capturéd not just the amp, but the cab as well?

I believe he was attenuating the Plexi with his Boss tube amp expander.

Cheers Lord, the Marshall is such a killer little amp.

It feels to me the most like an amp. Comparing them it to the Kemper and helix, the quad wins in feel, sound, UI ease of use. Love it. Amps will always come first and pedals but that quad is something else. I had begun to really dislike modelers until I gave in and bought the quad.
