I cannot stress enough how great the pitch shifter is, I end up playing worship at my local church and I use the quad cortex, Because we have so many singers, we change keys on the songs a ton, which is gonna require me having to try and account for that with the way i play the songs, the pitch shifter has allowed me to pitch the guitar up or down how many semitones needed to be in the right key, and no one was any wiser to what I was doing. I love it.
I now understand the draw for the Quad Cortex. Even though I haven't done a live gig yet, it still sounds like a very useful tool in the studio. Sounds very good. Thanks for sharing your rig, man.
Sounds cool man. BTW just wanted to let you know in case you don't know. If you press and hold the input 1 at the very beginning of the signal chain built-in noise gate will appear. So you can save a slot in your signal chain. Cheerz!
Sseeing you live in Houston, makes videos like this one most interesting. Quad Cortex is definitely on my radar for my practice studio, above POD GO. Your demo is very real and helpful. (And the Sennheiser note is good, too.) You were running through all boxes and showing settings. That was to me the most helpful demo of the QC. Thanks for great vid! And I would love to see more info on how the Pitch Shift function compares to a Whammy pedal.
@@sb632 i agree they just pair very well together. This guitar has had so many pickups in it, and I think the two times it's had emgs in it is when i've liked it the most.
Hell yeah man, to my ears the EVH amps are without a doubt the best sounding models in the QC for high gain tones, but I'm totally biased. Before I had my QC I had owned all 3 versions of the 5153, the OG, the EL34, and the 6L6 stealth, but then I sold most of my rig for a QC. When I got it and started playing around with it, I genuinely had no idea the EVH models were in there and when I started using them I was blown away. If I did a blindfold test I would not be able to tell which were the real amps and which were the models. I love running the blue channel models with the tubescreamer and running the red channels without any tubescreamer, they sound so huge and tight, and gained out they don't even need it tbh
Ray, this is the most in depth that I've personally looked into the Quad Cortex. You sir have peaked my interest. I will be seriously going down the rabbit hole now!
