Dialing In Worship Tone | Tips & Tricks
In this video, Nick shows you how he would dial in a preset with his Quad Cortex from scratch and shares some things he has learned along the way. These ideas apply to almost any digital platform and/or amp and pedals it may just be called something a little different, but everything does the same type of things. It’s really the thoughts of the madman, Nick, you’re after here.
Nick dials in a stereo preset with the wet fx after the amps. He does prefer to have the wet fx in front of his real amps though. What do you prefer?
Why are the guitars so quiet in worship music?

Awesome guys keep bringing
Interesting video, but it really only applies to people who have a Quad Cortex.
I’ve had issues with output volume getting jacked up when getting reverb anywhere past 40% post amp. It doesn’t seem to do it at all in front of the amp but it can get too saturated. Now that the quad has blend blocks I can have a lush verb that doesn’t spike volume too bad.
Any suggestions on what to do when you have no idea what any amp or cab sounds like?
Thanks for this Nick. Really useful. I use the QC too but still learning how to get the best of out it and this was so helpful to watch. It’s hard to pick this stuff up unless you have someone who can share! ❤
What tele is that beauty?
Is this patch on the cloud? Sorry if someone already asked this
Dude, you're the best…I like your style, I like your moves
Great tips! Dialing in tone for all over the neck was exactly what I needed to hear.
OMG ur so kewl
That reverse delay is ????????
When using two different amps how important is it to adjust the eq settings on both amps so they’re similar in gain, treb, mid and bass?
Are you running xlr or 1/4” into the Apollo?
Good stuff and very practical for most situations. Thanks!
Great as always, Nick!
I've been waiting for this. I knew it was coming. And it's better than I imagined. You the man!

Hope to see this channel explode! I know that this was not Quad Cortex specific but I just picked on up and found this pretty useful.
