  • I bought a QC in May, but I still have not opened it from the box. Why do I need this? I have several amps and many pedals. I am practicing a ton and jamming, but not playing live. Hopefully soon, but at the moment, I am not. Why do I need this? What is the benefit?

  • It’s all fake. It’s just light and fancy but it doesn’t sound like a real amp. It never will and you are wasting your time. That said, there are better ways to sound fake at a much lower price in 2025 like Sonicake and Valenton. Don’t waste your money.

  • Wow, the down transposing sounds very convincing in your video. In others I saw there´d been much more artefacts recognizable. Is this due to a newer update that it has gotten better?

  • I've had the QC for almost two years and I still get blown away on a daily basis by what it does and the updates it gets. It's changed the game.

  • I'd love to try your capture of the Fillmore. I tried capturing mine, but it sounds like you did a much better job. haha

  • Just checked your band on spotify and it't great! Waiting for you to drop a full album. Your videos are also really nice, I don't know why your channel isn't big yet, but it will be!

    (I posted the comment in the wrong video, just posting it here now lol)

  • Don’t you run it through the return input of your amp? The plug ins are really not the best thing on the quad. At this point some of us would rather they work on making the captures sound even better. I like its feel and the UI. Sound is good but my amps come first. This is the only modeler I’ve kept. I did keep the overlooked Yamaha double modeler. It comes with its own power, sounds great and feels great. $800 new. I do like fooling with the quad. If they keep it like this there’s plenty to keep me busy. It was good enough for John Mayer at Coachella, Simon McBride who plays for deep purple uses it for his trio, and rod castro plays for a ton of pop acts. Beyoncé, Bebe Rehxa, and more. There’s a lot more of players using it I can’t remember. Rabea, and more.

  • Is a good product but I don’t like the company. I am not interested in captures or plugin, and it seems they don’t care to updates the fx which honestly are not the best.

  • Do punters really care when a pub band turns up with one of these things? I somehow think they might notice a few changes, but in reality, they won't.

  • thats actually insane how far tech has progressed. Such a small little thing doing so much ????

  • I love my Fractal FM3 but I definitely have QC FOMO. I'm just wondering if I'd fall in love with it immediately.
