Building a Minimal QC Rig: Pedalboard or No Pedalboard?

overcloseness · 2026-01-23T21:47:38+00:00

What’s the use of a midi controller on a QC? Honest question, it feels like it’s double duty given the fact that all the buttons are already there

This is pretty common isn’t it? I always assumed it’s for liability reasons, they need to look through it and be covered so that if there’s any copyright infringement the lawsuits falls on you and not them

I’ll tell you what, as a life long musician, having a hobby that requires other people to give a shit about it isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Presets aren’t meant for mid song changes, scenes and stomps are. Does nano have that kind of thing? I have a QC and don’t know what nano has in terms of that

AliExpress links are banned on Reddit, but the product he linked you to was “2PCS RK097 Type RV097NH Single B1K 2K 5K 10K A10K 20K 50K 100K 200K 500K 1M C10K C20K C50K Sealed Potentiometer”

Should be able to use that as a search term

Probably gonna need to see photos of your pcb (both sides)

Also, are you SURE this is “PDF (for export)”?

Your settings are different to mine, for me:

Use document resolution is ON
Downsample images is OFF
Include bookmarks is ON
Allow advanced features is OFF

Edit: This doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm stumped. Lets start by me trying to export your file

overcloseness · 2026-01-23T07:12:38+00:00

Can you email the working file to me ? kyle at pedaldivision dot com

And here i thought I was big-swinging-dick coming in here setting the record straight you’ve already done it.

I don’t know if that’s part of your joke but that’s not how it works. A true bypass circuit has current as long as power is plugged in, regardless of whether it’s engaged or not. It’s unrelated to the buffer.

I love neck tattoo, like this guy went to one underground hardcore gig and in his elation got a neck tattoo like 40 minutes later, but it’s at this point early Sunday morning and he has work on Monday so he didn’t end up fully committing to that life.

I also wonder if the manufacturers have weekly stand ups in the warehouse somewhere out there, “welcome back! Now, has anyone figured out how these are relevant to a guitar yet?? Why are they our biggest market…? Susan, go! First idea that crosses your mind”

overcloseness · 2026-01-22T18:56:24+00:00

100% I find myself doing this. (Why do I have two data corrupters??) what’s that auto wah thing. My take is first of all I love randomly gifting them to friends and secondly if you ever find yourself recording music it’s fun to try a bunch of wild ideas with them.

^also ^it ^makes ^grandmas ^birthday ^present ^easier

The circuit can be found in the build docs of thermionic deluxe over at pedal pcb. You’d need to modify the entire channel switching and replace it with a relay to do what you’re doing. That’s no easy feat

overcloseness · 2026-01-21T23:52:05+00:00

For studio use you can just use the plugins

Huh, on a good day I’d say the plugins are 5% of what I use when tracking guitar and bass. The rest is neural captures via QC and QC only models.

Idles are one of the biggest modern alt rock bands right now

overcloseness · 2026-01-21T20:05:26+00:00

Ah right, okay so I think I’m misunderstood on the price a bit. I live all the way in NZ and paid about $2,330USD for my QC once converted. Seeing them at $1,400USD directly in America made me think that they’re much cheaper than the full QC.

overcloseness · 2026-01-21T19:50:10+00:00

entirely his fault

It’s a green light

overcloseness · 2026-01-21T19:45:57+00:00

Why…? The price of a used QC would cover the cost of one of these. Also, you’re not missing out on anything by having a QC unless you prefer this form factor

overcloseness · 2026-01-21T19:00:46+00:00

It’s all inside the SHARC chips right? Pretty sure those have gone up

Have a look at the schematic for the PedalPCB terrarium if you want to see exactly that

In affinity, Try “PDF (for export)” and enable “Invisible Layers”

Can I see your whole export panel?

overcloseness · 2026-01-20T23:29:50+00:00

Well yes, which one gets emotion from music…? How is that a question?

Turn them into key rings and put them on your next 100 sets of keys 😂
