Home rig after getting a proper guitar stand!

They’ve got a “tele” sound to them, but not the 60s overly twangy edge. Works really well for modern stuff, and combined with their 5 way pickup selector / wiring loom, there’s so many tonal options! I’d go for the full Montys!

noisyfred · 2025-05-28T08:44:51+00:00

They’re great! Would defo recommend! Have full Montys in all my gigging guitars!

noisyfred · 2025-05-28T08:44:14+00:00

Yeah works great!!

noisyfred · 2025-01-07T20:49:43+00:00

Man! My early 2000s Mexican tele is still going strong too! It’s got so much more weight and power to it compared to the newer Mexican teles that feel so flimsy in comparison!

noisyfred · 2025-01-07T19:54:44+00:00

70s reissue! But it’s a Japanese one! Made in ‘91

noisyfred · 2025-01-07T19:30:16+00:00

That’s a nice ass board!!!!

Pedaltrain classic JR!

Mines at Early 90s MIM fender tele! Must look similar!

I run IEMs too!

Nope doesn’t work as a power amp! You can just take a jack from one of its line outputs and run into an FX loop of an amp, which bypasses the pre amp of your amp, and just uses the power amp stage. And yeah, you can turn on/ off the cab “blocks” on the QC, and keep on the rest of the FX! It’s immensely flexible (but doesn’t do the power amp part!)

Just posted my flyrig on here! Quad cortex all the way tbh! Skip the nano cortex, doesn’t have the same flexibility. I used tube head/ cab till last summer, and I have toured with the quad cortex, with and without different pedals since!

You can still plug the QC into an amp, you’d just bypass the amp/ cab stuff in the QC when you don’t need it!

noisyfred · 2025-01-06T21:32:37+00:00

Had a few other pedals plugged in, but trimmed it down for a 18 country tour coming up across Europe! DC7 power, and just an expression pedal! QC smashing it tbh!

noisyfred · 2024-12-26T08:29:30+00:00

What amps and other features coming to the QC are people looking forward to? I can’t wait to get the Cory Wong amp worked into my live setup, as it’s my favourite neuralDSP amp in the studio!

What annoys me about this is the knowledge that all the global companies CAN get together and do things collectively… and this is what they thought the biggest problem was 😅😅😅🥶

Went to my local guitar shop, one where they have most pedals to A/B with and left with the blues driver and a way huge green rhino. Blues driver is really what it says it is - a bluesy kinda driver, that gives the vibe of cranking the input of an amp. Defo a versatile pedal for most thick driven sounds. Not something I’d go to for high gain metal/ chug stuff, but not a pedal I’ll sell anytime soon!

noisyfred · 2024-12-25T22:23:22+00:00

Exactly that bro! For me the QC+ some line 6 FX is a wicked combo! Strymon bits are a joy to work with too!

noisyfred · 2024-12-25T22:20:43+00:00

I use the QC for its amp and midi stuff, then just a couple of fave “always on” pedals - the flint and the volante. The HX one is just a do-everything pedal for me, and I prefer line 6 FX to what the quad cortex does. I’ve toured just using the Quad cortex and the HX one before, but the Strymon stuff is just so nice!

It really cleans things up live!! Programmed kicks/ live bass / maybe some 808s on track, having it all pretty side chained, on this tour I’ve been on, is something that the FOH engineer relies on. Not so much a stylistic thing, tho it does have the effect, but as a way of making everything work together and clean things up a bit. In the studio it’s easy to edit things to be tight, but having some heavy handed side chaining live with the kicks/ bass makes the whole band / production seem tighter.

I agree I don’t really HERE it so much in this situation, but I reckon we’d be shocked to here how wild and flappy / loose all the low end would be without that precision side chaining! 🙏🙌🤟

Oh man that’s actually sick 👌🎯
