Don’t get me wrong, I have loved my QC however I find that having to stack reverbs to get some basic lush sounds to be annoying. I have my big sky and timeline in the fix loop in stereo because the QCs delays and reverbs are lacking. Effects just doesn’t seem strong enough. Repeats fade very quick…

[image] PSyGN051S: Delay repeats are far too quiet and fade way too quick. Push the delay mix to about 70% - 80%. Not ideal, but that’s the sweet spot for being able to hear the delay repeats.

I don’t understand why the QC’s reverbs and delays get such bad press. I come from a decades-long career in audio, including freelance live mixing and operating a small recording studio for over 30 years. I’ve heard a lot of different hardware devices and DAW plugins incorporating reverb and delay e…

+1 Effects are not only “fine” They are very good

Same here. I’ve also A/Bed the delays against my Eventide TimeFactor and Boss DD-500 (my favorite delay ever is the SDD-3000) and ended up selling the Boss, as I didn’t feel it does much the QC doesn’t (and what it does is mostly because of the controllable, assignable LFOs). Especially now with th…

The reverb and delay could use some work. They’re decent, but mainly end up using them because it’s more convenient. I think part of the issue is they messed up the mix percentage of the Wet/Dry so 50% isn’t actually 50%. They haven’t ever officially stated why, or acknowledged it as far as I know.…

“I think part of the issue is they messed up the mix percentage of the Wet/Dry so 50% isn’t actually 50%. They haven’t ever officially stated why, or acknowledged it as far as I know. Kinda bone headed move on their part, especially with how well thought out they’ve had other elements. Kinda whack t…

Coming from a Kemper and Axe-FX, the first thing I noticed was the verbs and delays didn’t sound as rich or deep or complex - however you want to put it. I think they are just adequate but I’d love to see the smear parameter that Kemper has on its delays-very useful. And also another rich pad-like …

[image] Drmuzoid: Neural needs an update like Kemper had when they updated their verbs a few years ago IMO. I remember this update, it was a huge leap forward kind of which i would like to see happen with the Quad. Reverbs and delays on QC are not bad at all but if you come from fractal or k…

In a studio situation i find the QC quite good! Only live i have some trouble getting the right amount delay (settings), for not getting a too washed out 80s sound or noticable repeats for solos and rythm
