  • Goonzi uses an IR in his new quad cortex God Complex preset. I don’t know the name of the IR. On cortex cloud when you download presets, it doesn’t download the IR.

  • Love your channel Josh. Apologies if you've explained this before, but how do you make your Mix EQ IRs? Just drag the ExampleIR.wav into a DAW, EQ that channel, then export?

  • Hi! I believe that the Green808 is based on the Ibanez Tubescreamer and the PV-505 is based on the Peavey 6505, is there a huge different compared to the Maxon OD 808 and the 5150?

  • Went to the Houston show this past Thursday. Arrived late and got to listen to the last song yall played. It was my first time hearing your band but man yall sounded great! You did an amazing job as well when you went up to sing with Trivium as well!

  • Josh can you please make some captures for us Nano Cortex owners. I’d even pay for a pack. Your STL Tonality is my favourite plugin.

  • You can quickly scroll through impulse responses by twisting the top right dial in the IR loader block. Saves a few clicks and allows you to preview several IR's quickly !

  • Thanks for the amazing overview! Been using the Quad Cortex for the past 4 years – one of the best purchases ever made. Also currently using the QC with Two Notes Genome and enjoying the crazy selection of metal amps released earlier this week. Best of luck with your new tour! ????????????

  • Thanks for this! An often overlooked part of the overall tone is the pickup height on the guitar. What height do you usually set your pickups from the strings?
