No changes, just a fancier couple of photos

Still, £95 more than a Future Impact V4 as a point of reference, does seem a tad pricey?? Would love to spend some time with one though.

Can't see the first, but the 2nd is wild for a Pro...
-
Its the subtleties of how the envelope sounds like it is responding to your playing, it feels more natural in the first half...but quite pronounced as well, so it could easily be a digital simulation of that subtlety 😅
-
That's impressive. I'll stick my neck out and say the Mutron was first, but very good. Its a wonder Source Audio don't go down a proper multi effects processor route, as they seem to nail a lot of stuff.
-
I can't believe this exists 😅

Unorthodox way of sharing an IR, but can confirm it works!

Been a user of Tidal ever since they started charging the same as Spotify but for lossless music. No brainer, really! I've trialed Apple Music a few times but I just prefer Tidal's interface.

Best way to downsize (successfully) is to get things listed in the classifieds, surely?

Yes that is right, the gain control is, as I understand it, simply raising and lowering the input signal going into the capture, and the 3 band EQ is at fixed frequencies, at least for the time being. I envisage that will change in a future development as the tech is all there. Last night I actually did some captures of a Darkglass Alpha Omega pedal, went a little overboard and did 16 altogether covering various switch positions and gain/mod positions, captures are perfect, and I'm fairly confident now that I can get any useable sound that pedal is capable of getting through a mix of using one of those captures and other bits and bobs on the QC as appropriate. A £330 pedal cloned just like that, would only take 4 or 5 pedals captured like that and the value of the QC is paid for! But that aside, the QC of course has a range of full drive/fuzz models, guitar and bass, and loads of amps to play with as well. Not as much as the Helix of course, but relatively speaking this is still a new product and ever expanding. I can't imagine ever hearing or wanting a drive sound and not being able to recreate it on the QC by one way or another. Its the other stuff the QC needs to improve at, modulations, delays, anything remotely synthy etc.

I'm not sure you're fully understanding what a capture is and how it works, as it really isn't anything like a sampler? You're capturing a device set up in a certain way, the Quad Cortex learns how to create that sound, and the capture reacts to your playing in the same way the real thing would, with embedded gain controls and 3 band EQ controls (with any number of effect blocks before and after) that are pretty functional in moderation. I can't imagine ever needing to capture a device in so many different settings that it becomes cumbersome. How often do you dramatically change pedal settings? Perhaps i'm alone with this, but I very rarely mess once I've found a particular sound I like, and the QC is more than capable of doing slight adjustments when needed. Can you give a more specific example of a particular device you want to capture, and how you may wish to change this sound in the future?
-
I think the people who wrote those guides haven't touched a Quad Cortex! You don't get involved with the capture process at all. The QC sends all kinds of waverforms into the pedal to "machine learn" how it changes the input signal to create the output. Provided the device is gain related, with no time based or otherwise oddities in the circuit, the results are borderline perfect. I captured all my Darkglass pedals before moving them on and the captures were completely indistinguishable from the real thing (and the QC lets you AB afterwards). The only "flaw" in the capture system is the capturer tends to set up the pedal based on how it responds to their instrument, so the more complex the pedal is, the more likely it is any individual capture may be tailored to a certain bass or a certain setup. Not an issue if the capturer takes captures without dialing it in first like that.

Mad this hasn't sold yet, seems the cheapest online at the mo by some way! GLWTS -
The Portamento on the Squeezer really helps the tracking out at moderate settings, removes glitches and give a real subtle glide when it doesn't immediately lock on, works a treat, especially when the Squeezer's tracking is less than optimal compared to the FI! 😅 Gets a bit silly on higher settings though, especially on the attack! Full fretboard slides all over the place 😁
-
Does the FI have any portamento function to help deal with continuous play without notable glitching?
-
I understand why you're defensive over it for obvious reason, but looking it objectively, do you honestly see no issue with the pricing strategy??
-
Have to say, the business side of Panda seems a little chaotic. What is this sale for?? I feel they're at real risk of irritating a lot of their customers, considering this, DV247 prices, presale prices, the bundle price from less than a week ago...
-
Little update on mine. Cannot express how GOOD the OC-2 and OS sound going into some Chorus on the Quad Cortex, learning to love bass synth again 😁
-
Adore this bass! What are those extra holes on the front of the headstock from?? -
Whilst good advice often given for this kind of thing, its no excuse to just ignore emails. If a shop chooses to trade online but don't actively respond to emails, they're doing it wrong. As a working full time 9-5 fella, I don't really want to spend my lunch hour on the phone and shops are closed either side of my working day, so I will almost always choose to email.
-
That would come to £328 altogether from DV247 at the moment, so with current currency conversion rate it works out about the same, but does the Panda price include VAT and delivery?? Sorry to keep banging this drum, but I'm still confused by how much cheaper DV247 is! 😅
-
My fave pedal at the moment It's almost therapeutic when you learn to love it!
-
😅 I'm sure you're right, but I literally can't stand having to use desktop editors or midi to change settings. I've owned a Quad Cortex for years now and still haven't once opened the desktop interface. 36 going on 76 😎

Hi Matt, I am concerned that you say the warning gave no advice? The below text was included in the informal warning you have acknowledged:- Hi there! Don't panic - this isn't a 'warning' as such - just a note to say that on Basschat we don't allow 'what's it worth' type posts in the open forum, because sometimes people use them to post items for sale without placing an advert. Subscribing members have access to a special valuation forum in the classifieds section, which is the best place to ask something like this. If you're still struggling to value your item, have a look on here by searching for your item in the marketplace forum, perhaps someone has sold one before. Another idea is to check eBay for 'completed' and 'sold' items. If you still can't find out, ask yourself what's it worth to you? You can list it with a rough (and realistic) price, then ask for offers in that range. We are working on a 'value your kit' service but in the meantime if you are really struggling for a price please feel free to email any details, including a picture or two if possible to [email protected] and we'll do the legwork for you. Did you not see this? As this would be an issue that the Admin team need to pick up as a bug.
