Bass routing and signal flow with a crossover

Hi dear friends.

I’m new to the QC world. Haven’t bought it yet. I’m trying to solve queries first before make my decision. I need guidance please.

Bassists (as me) get really benefit of a bi-amp rig where with a crossover you can determine-separate the low from the high frequencies and process them completely independently. Something that QC is capable after all. This is basically one of the major reasons for me to buy a QC.

My question has to do primarily if the QC is capable for a more advanced signal routing as I will describe it below.

I want to have the ability to add some primary effects on the very beginning of the signal which will apply to the whole frequency spectrum. No split yet. For example a transpose block, a general noise gate, maybe an octaver, an envelope filter, etc. In general effects that should be applied first in the signal chain and affect the whole frequency spectrum.

Then I will immediately split the signal with the crossover. Separate processing to both frequency bands (for example heavy compressing on the low frequencies and distortion on the high frequencies) and at the end of their processing they should be merged together to a single flow. Until now everything is easy and feasible.

Here is the tricky part (to my mind at least) because I’m not familiar with the QC platform.

From there I want one part of the signal to be fed with cab simulation and IR’s and pass via the Balanced XLR 1/2 Outputs of the QC to the FOH and another part of the signal to pass without cab simulation and/or IR’S via the 3/4 outputs of the QC to the RETURN of the stage amp.

Can it be done? Can you please describe me how?

Thanks in advance.

Simple answer… yes.

Preset created using your road map. IMO the most underrated function of the qc is its digital routing capabilities. For real!!! Ignore cabling. Pic taken from my board.
