Just bought a Tonex pedal from Adee. Couldn't have been easier. Quickly posted and received. Great basschatter!

No I haven't yet. But it's on my radar. I was toying with the idea of buying a small mixer to do just what you suggested until I realised that the QC would probably do this just as well as a mixer. I'll have a fiddle over the weekend and let you know.

I totally relate to this conversation as well. I use the QC constantly live and love my sound. However I probably only use about 5% of the machines capabilities playing live, the rest of the time I feel like I have a rather expensive studio toy. I had a Helix floor before this and sold that to purchase the QC as I felt it was a bit overkill (lol). These units do favour people who use multiple sounds per gig (I play in a covers band and the guitarist is also a tap dancer as someone else said above), but that makes sense to me. There's a whole world of difference between the guitar sound when playing either Van Halen or The Police. I just don't have the need for so many different bass tones. I tend to find one I like and stick with it. Saying all that though, I love the QC. Like you guys I haven't really bought anything effects wise since purchasing the QC, and in my head I'm trying to write off the money spent on it. It's a GAS killer for effects.

Like Warwickhunt said, there's a massive conversation about this already in existence. Only thing I would say is don't try and save money on cheap IEMs. Finding a decent set with good bass response was a massive toil for me. Eventually paid around 900 quid for a set of in ear moulds and 6 drivers per ear. If you think about the combined processing power (and money) of your bands mics, preamps, modellers, etc, why are we all then surprised when it doesn't sound good through our 90 quid set of headphones? (Saying that I bought a pair of KZs as a back up for around 35 quid and they were surprisingly good. As good as my 900 quid pair? No, but my moulded ones aren't worth an extra 850. Ah well you live and learn).

That's good to know! I had a little play but haven't had time to sit down and properly dial in the sounds yet.

Did anyone take advantage of the plugin black Friday sale? I just wondered if any of the available plugins are worth it for bass? I've already got Rabea and Parallax.

Ooo, synth engine? Tell me more!

https://neuraldsp.com/quad-cortex-updates/quad-cortex-owners-were-giving-away-eur5m-of-free-plugins So the QC is finally able to support plugins and Neural is giving away a free plugin to users. Does anyone have any experience with Neural Plugins? (I have zero) Just wondered which one I should aim for. The two contenders seem to be the Parallel X and the dark glass suite. (I'll probably end up getting both anyways 🤦🏻‍♀️).
