@@DToneQuest Hey - love it and on it. Next on my 'to do' list is a series of videos around various modeling devices for Celestion speakers on their channel. I'm in production on the first video which will be on the QC. I'll be putting together various rigs, and that will include other pedals. Also, Mission Engineering has a box of expression pedals and a USB battery powered pedal board power supply on the way to me per a video on this channel around using an expression pedals with the QC. Thanks for saying hi, and for the input/feedback - appreciated:)
That Aucoustasonic solo could have easily got me choked up if I let it...an absolutely fantastic musician. Great job once again Mr Doppler. 🤙🏼 🙌🏼 🙏🏼 🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thanks for the nod to the GOAT ,EVH. Very nice to the point overview. This thing is insanely easy to use and sounds stellar as does your playing skills. I signed up for your captures too. lickin my chops for the Jose mod Marshall and vibroverb captures. I played a 64 verb few years back and WOW! The great SRV also owned and used a 64 verb for recording. Looks like a delay in US shipping for few more weeks. BUMMER!!.
Hey R.L. nod on the nod noted and appreciated - saw them on the first tour - and they played a 'new song' called Beautiful Girls as well:) Thanks for the kind words and signing up - MUCH appreciated. And yes, the Vibroverb is a SPECIAL, great to hear you've had some playing time there. I WILL be worth the wait. Thanks again - I've enjoyed meeting you on this journey - this is gonna be a wild ride, but ultimately it's not about the gear, it's about the music and the people who make it. Cheers ~ Doug:)
I’m barely in on the video and I just have to comment. The way you speak and how you convey everything is so refreshing. Thanks for being just a normal easy to listen to YT creator in a world full of bozos!
Hey, Doug! Just joined (admittedly been lurking for a long time), and have been a QC user almost 2 years - still learning how dial things in! So many rabbit holes. After watching this and trying to find something in RUclips that addresses it unsuccessfully), I thought maybe you could help… I’d like to know best practices for setting up a dual amp set up and blending them - similar to what Dean DeLeo does with a Vox AC30 and another amp run with light and heavy overdrives/distortion in the QC. I hope to hear from you on this! ✌🏼 Darryl
Hey Darryl! Welcome to the rabbit hole/s! Let me chew this idea over a bit, it's a good one and actually inline with something I've been thinking about doing. Might not be exactly the Dean vibe (LOVED the AC30 Marshall thing I heard him doing on Scott's last tour with the band), but again, let me chew this over. THANKS for watching, reaching out and confirming the need something I've been thinking I need to do for some time. THANKS, again ~ Doug;)
Hello my fellow nerd - THANKS - appreciated. There will be more content, just not sure how soon, please be as granular as you like in what you're looking for specifically - thanks ~ Doug;)
I will definitely be getting your captured once they get a pay system set up. While you found a work around I do hope they add a preamp or two in the amp section. I suppose one could be captured as well. I also hope the Worship Tutorial guys make a few presets. I know they should get theirs real soon and will have it before mine comes from Sweetwater. Of course if the pay system is not up I will have to spend time to make my own. I am perfectly capable,I have made a bunch for the Helix, but I tend to do things at my pace. I am overly picky. Lol. The Tom Scholz of patch making.
The Tom Scholz of patch making - LOVE that Ralph - and I'm old enough to remember how long it took for Don't Look Back to come out!!! Thanks for signing up, and as you probably know I'm tight with the WT guys. Brian Wahl has been a HUGE help on the video production front for me and they make AMAZING patches, hence the whole 100,000+ downloads! And yes, capturing some preamps is a great idea. I'm chewing through what free content I'm going to push to the app as a community support. An acoustic preamp would be an obvious choice, but my #1 choice is on loan from the original manufacturer, and that would be a VERY weird phone call to navigate. GREAT food for thought. Great to eMeet you! Cheers ~ Doug:)
I'm using two line 6 powercabs 112. The speaker modeling is better than the cab modeling or irs in modelers. I don't have to use any cab blocks in the modelers and it sounds great. I have to keep the powercabs at a little less than half volume for gigs. I wish i could turn it up more. I have a QC on order but I'm getting impatient because I'm playing alot and might get the full Helix instead. I really like the scribble strips. I want to see which button does what. I never thought i would go digital but after gigging with an HX Stomp (borrowed) i am sold. Sounds great and i have musician friends that are against modeling and they came and saw me and said " wow it sounds great" they also said " i hate that you're using that digital s***. I was also an amp snob. I saw a couple good guitar players using modelers and it sounded soo frikin good, i had to try one. I a/b with my amps at home. I like both about the same but the modeler is so much more versatile. Actually i get better lead tones out of the modeler.
THANKS Mighty! I hope your QC arrives SOON, it's a GREAT box and you'll hopefully agree it was worth the wait. Thanks for watching and saying hi! Cheers ~ Doug:)
Frankly you should always have more (solid state) amp power than speaker capacity as it's amp distortion that will blow your speakers. Awesome demo, thanks!
Well done video-But without any Marshall/Soldano stack-could the QC be used thru a Bose PA system-the whole point is to "Not" purchase a stack of amps and then add a pedal board-Have some friends that are saying this is an impractical use for the QC? So-How do you play live with the QC without the use of any physical cabinets/heads? I want to go direct from the QC into a Bose L1 system- Pros & Cons for this setup if anyone could comment. Thank you.
Hey Sahara - appreciated:) Both demos in the Making It Loud chapter (the PRS piezo + magnetics and the Jazzmaster on the outro) are just using the DPA 2011C mics on the Celestion F12-M200 and the F12-X200 FR LR speakers (Celestion calls them Full Range Live Response), no direct signal being blended in. I should have said that in the video:) THANKS!!!
Excellent walkthrough Doug! I'm anxiously waiting for my QC (Tier 2 preorder) so every little bit of info I can get before it gets here is valuable. I've got an early 1990's Marshall JCM 900 Lead 1936 2x12 Cabinet with (I think) G12T-75 speakers that I've never really been in love with. Do you think it would be worth it to replace those speakers with either F12M-150 or F12-X200 speakers to create an FRFR cab for use with the QC and some kind of power amp or would I be throwing good money after bad? Looking forward to your Celestion videos. Thanks!
THANKS Jeff. So, the QC Celestion video should be up sometime next week - most likely. That will be a great opportunity for you to hear for yourself. While the 2x12 cabs obviously not identical to the 1960A cabs I've got loaded with the FR LRs, that will definitely give you a pretty close idea of what it will sound like. The cool thing about these speakers is that they were made for guys like us who have these cabinets that were MADE for guitar. Also, like the cabs I'll be using you can run in stereo using the one cabinet which is also cool, if your included to do so. I LOVE it, and your ears will tell you if you do. Thanks for 'jumping in' to the FR LR convo, about which I'm REALLY excited (more than my neighbors are too)!!!
@@DougDopplerMusic Thanks Doug, Can't wait to hear (and see) that video. I've got an Alto 310 that I'm using right now with a modeler and it works fairly well and I think would work on stage as a wedge but I'd like to get something closer to the look and the feel of a real guitar cabinet pushing some air so this feels like it would fill the bill.Good stuff!
GREAT question! To be honest... the capture function is so good, that with my FR FR setup I would go that way... BUT... and a BIG but, 4CM means you could use the preamp of the amp AND in theory have the option of using a capture sans cabinet in the return. Hadn't thought of that d'oh! Like I said, GREAT question, to which the answer is YES!!!
I've just bought one. However, I'm not sure what the best way to connect it is. I tried to the FX loop of my Orange Th30 but it doesn't seem to be the best way. What do you recommend? Are there any other ways?
Hello Nemesis. The Loop of your TH30 is a great starting place. I would suggest making sure that you're not using any of the speaker/cab modeling blocks since you're most likely using a traditional guitar cab to amplify your TH30. That should make a WORLD of difference. LMK. THANKS and CONGRATS ~ Doug;)
@@DougDopplerMusic thanks for your time and answer. So, I guess I’ll plug it in to the FX loop of the TH30 but I’ll just load an amp in the QC, not a cab. I’ll try it today. Cheers
Nice video I love my unit too! So are u able to make a single huge chain that spans all 4 rows? This way I could have multiple amps and effects I could toggle on and off with scenes ?
Thanks Red and yes! On Row/Path 1, select Row 3/4 from the bottom of the list when you select the Output Block:) As noted in your comment, that gives you all the SHARC processing you can access to distribute between each pair of SHARC processors:) HAVE AT IT!!! Cheers ~ Doug:)
Hey Carlos, thanks for watching, the kind words and a GREAT question. I think the QC is still an EXCELLENT piece of gear. I would have to say for the capture functionality it is ideal if you want a quick, easy, and GREAT sounding way to put your favorite amps in the box. Smart workflow, great tones, and still as good as anything else on the market. Better is totally subjective for a range of reasons - my personal live rig uses an Axe-Fx III because it can sit on the back line and is an amazing sounding piece of gear. And I love my various Helix products because they sound great and the editors have always been GREAT. I ALSO love the Boss GT products - they sound and feel great. Kemper sounds great, but I did not find it intuitive to work with. The Headrush MX5 is also another great piece of gear, especially for the money. I think the biggest thing I can say is that the QC is a great form factor, sounds great, does a great job on captures, is pretty intuitive to use, and has more processing power than most people will ever need. Still super strong, and again, GREAT question:)
@@DougDopplerMusic thanks I appreciate the response. I just snagged a QC. Not 100 percent into it’s form factor. Especially being as powerful as it is. I’ve been using a Helix Rack and control setup for 2 years now. So I’m planning on racking the QC and letting the helix do all the midi switching. And I’m the case of a failure I have the helix ready to go as a backup. I’ve tried all the major units and I couldn’t agree with you more. Love the UI in the Helix. I’m hoping like the Kemper that the QC will get what it deserves it’s too powerful not too. Cheers and look forward to seeing your channel grow!! Excellent content!!
@@carlossalazar4508 THANKS again, ALL appreciated. And yes, I LOVE Helix Rack and HX Edit is dare I say EASY to use. And ironically, the one thing I didn't bother saying was that I was there was a rack mount version of the QC, my guess is that at some point there will be for exactly the same reasons you and I love using a controller on the floor and having 'the goods' on the backline. LMK how it goes! THANKS, again, Doug;)
Great demo..except for me I can't get those nice bright tones for clean, and my distortions sound like they are struggling to get gain to pass through ..im running it as an audio interface, outs 1/2 going to Focal shape 65's and into Cubase 11 pro..alley guitar sound bassy/nasally.. guitars used 2 Strandbergs with Fishman Fluences, Suhr Custom Classic, Ibanez JS2410, PRS Custom 22, and gibson LP Slash..
Hey Nacho, appreciated. The easiest approach is to use two XLR cables into two inputs on your DAW, coming from outputs 1 and 2 on the Quad Cortex which are XLR only. Since this is how the stock presets are routed, this is probably the best route. You can also route audio via USB, using the Quad Cortex as your audio interface, but I prefer to use my Universal Audio Apollo interface, into Pro Tools and for monitoring. That makes it easier to disconnect the Quad Cortex and not take down my whole studio in the process. So, two XLR cables would be my suggestion! Cheers ~ Doug:)
Great video - thx. Which prs is that you are using? It’s a gorgeous finish without the ‘tiger stripes’ typical of the normal prs tops (which I’m not a big fan of). My new quad cortex arrives on Monday btw.
How did you set your input levels? Did you change them for each individual guitars? I'm having trouble finding the right input level for my vintage strat. Either everything sounds as if a boost pedal is always on or everything is too quiet.
Hey Franky! I did not adjust input levels, but I did find a number of the clean amp were set much hotter than I would set them. My suggestion would be to gain them down and if necessary bump the output up a bit. LMK how that goes:)
Hey Chris:) I have not had proper time (yet) to do a proper comparison (capture vs. profile especially), but if we're talking about ease of use alone, the Quad Cortex eclipses the Kemper!
Hello, does your quad cortex make ‘click’ noise when turning on and turning off ? Also, does it make ‘click’ sound on I/O setting on in1 and in2 when switching ground lift on and off ? Also when switching type mic to instrument or vice versa, does it make click sound on your QC ? Thank you
I don't get why you talk about using your tele for clean tones and then there's no video of you using it for clean tones with the Lonestar model or capture? I appear to be missing something.
Y'know, it wasn't until I saw the video on playback that I thought, "That Strat fingerboard is kinda disgusting. I gotta clean it!" I feel you. Cheers ~ Doug:)

@@NachoGonzalezNappa Well thank you Nacho - appreciated. BTW, this video >> ruclips.net/video/bPB5z1o-vg8/видео.html
Great video - thx. Which prs is that you are using? It’s a gorgeous finish without the ‘tiger stripes’ typical of the normal prs tops (which I’m not a big fan of).
My new quad cortex arrives on Monday btw.
Great video!
How did you set your input levels? Did you change them for each individual guitars? I'm having trouble finding the right input level for my vintage strat. Either everything sounds as if a boost pedal is always on or everything is too quiet.
Hey Franky! I did not adjust input levels, but I did find a number of the clean amp were set much hotter than I would set them. My suggestion would be to gain them down and if necessary bump the output up a bit. LMK how that goes:)
Hi Doug notice you have a Kemper rack ? Comparisons ? Pls
Hey Chris:) I have not had proper time (yet) to do a proper comparison (capture vs. profile especially), but if we're talking about ease of use alone, the Quad Cortex eclipses the Kemper!
Hello, does your quad cortex make ‘click’ noise when turning on and turning off ? Also, does it make ‘click’ sound on I/O setting on in1 and in2 when switching ground lift on and off ? Also when switching type mic to instrument or vice versa, does it make click sound on your QC ? Thank you
Yes. I’ve seen you asking this before. That’s normal.
@@Utubewrk123 thank you sir
i want that t-shirt…i need that t-shirt…
Let me see if I can dig up where I found it. Agreed - ICONIC!!!
from one preset to another is there a sound jump?
I don't get why you talk about using your tele for clean tones and then there's no video of you using it for clean tones with the Lonestar model or capture? I appear to be missing something.
Hey David - try this timeline link - that should get you there. LMK, thanks ~ Doug;) ruclips.net/video/Amv-DvSMS-8/видео.html
Dude that strat fingerboard is disgusting. Clean it.
Y'know, it wasn't until I saw the video on playback that I thought, "That Strat fingerboard is kinda disgusting. I gotta clean it!" I feel you. Cheers ~ Doug:)
Yet again a video where they never even show how to turn the damn thing on 😅
You plug it in and hold in the power button.
This is why you only have 4.1k subs. You don’t finish anything you promise to finish or get back to. Blocking this channel.
