how does the neck feel? is it slim?
QC does pristine cleans and ambient tones well, and it does very high gain well. But too me , it cant compare to an amp in between where string separation and harmonics come into play and when Drive pedals from captures or otherwise are added, there is very little differences between them to speak of. Getting volume levels straight from one patch to the other is an issue and in the live mix the complaint is that it is never loud enough to punch through without going too loud. The only good mid gain sounds I have been able to get is by using the British patch captures . I wish i could find the magic setup to get5 what everyone on youtube seems to get. Through Headphones you can get a good sound but it doesn't translate well to FRFR or FOH . Its a puzzle. I will admit it is the best of the bunch so far!
Didn't sound all that great to me. I bought it and it doesn't compare to an SLO 100 in my opinion! It lacks the smooth less agrressive OD
1:1 imho
Nice tone.
