Nothing wrong with owning "both" units if you can afford it. I really like the tones and especially the functionality of the QC, and it will be another good tool in our guitar arsenal. And remember, without competition, there isn't any reason to compete.

Read that some didn't care a lot for the effects in the Quad. After listening to the Tom Quale video I beg to differ. Sounded pretty good to me.

What say you?

If getting what you want makes u happy and does not affect your "happy wife means happy life" home life, then just do it if you can afford it. You only live once, or so they say.

That's a bit like buying an automatic car which only works at a certain speed

What if the "certain" speed was 0-300 mph, then? I know, we would all have lots of speeding tickets lol...

So if options are what rules us then, I must ask the question. Money aside, what's wrong with anyone owning a Kemper, Helix, and a Neural Quad Cortex?

I have MBritt profiles and I still made adjustments to make them fit better.

Yes, I've done the same thing, but "to me" that's not the same as starting from a scratch profile. That's why Mr. Britt (and others) sell many of them and I unfortunately do not.

Quote from CelticGibson

Don't underestimate the importance of those controls in the amp section. They are a life saver..

Not underestimating anything and love options, I'm just saying some may not need an older standard gearbox any longer with the release of a new automatic transmission, no matter how well both work (or don't) . The ability to capture an amp's tone with an SM-57 draped across the cabinet does not negate the great tones you can get thru a UA OX line out, in other words. And yes, both are adjustable before and after they are on the track.

Quote from CelticGibson

The problem with this approach is that no two environments will be the same, hence why the KPA has those adjustments inside the amp section to make a good profile that's already production ready to "fit" your environment and the kind of guitar you use.

Ok, and modification options are great, but even with the same mic's, guitars, and a Kemper I still couldn't make the profile sound as good as MBritt does. The adjustments mean nothing if you don't have an ear for what you are adjusting. He does. And the assumption that the Quad does everything in the same way as Kemper does regarding capture mode might be misleading as well. I haven't read enough yet to know this, have you? In other words "maybe" the Quad doesn't need these "adjustments"? lol... Much to learn here is all I'm saying.

Another video for our enjoyment....

Quote from Clanker

Fractal offers much more in terms of modeling/effects quality/quantity than helix, stomp is a bang for the buck though. But thats like saying jcm900 not worth the money because dsl20 exists (not true).

One thing that is very evident about Fractal (whether you like them or not), and that is the guy that makes it and knows most about it doesn't post most of the Axe-FX information on another website (Talking about the Line-6 folks here).

Good video and I really liked the "hands-on" interface (part of the video) on the unit.

Ahhh competition...

Nothing could be better for us guitar players than this!

Luv my Iridium as well! I use it in one of the aux loops in my Helix, which then allows me to place effects before and after Iridium in the chain! Works like a charm too

Quote from stratdude

I'd say it's safe to treat every video you've seen so far as marketing to some degree

And then go back 50 years or more and apply that again...

I ran across a couple of videos while searching for the specific tones of different generation JP EBMM Majesty guitars, and thought I'd share.

Hope you enjoy them as I did.

So freaking hard to do this right (and sing too), but here goes anyway...

I used one of Bert Meulendijk's profiles- "BM C BEC plex" and backed off the gain.

Thanks for the views!

Have the Big Zone- luv the tones!!!

If you were like me and didn't know what a "DynaMount" was...

BTW, Thanks for the Profiles!

Nice track there Mr. Sludge!

Gonna try the "Vendra Show" with a little "Wampler EGO" compression on some Dire Straits if I get some time this weekend...

One says "Input", the other says "Headphone".....

I'm assuming you have glasses on as I do, right lol?
