Just as a sidenote. I am not not a big tone tweaker. Basically I need sometimes more warmth and low end because I have a Neck Single Coil Pickup and sometimes I want to fake a Humbucker Neck Sound. I got an Eventide H90 which has a preset called “Leo to Les” with EQ and compression which does that really well. But I think I should be able to dial that in on the QC without the need of an external device. It is only that sometimes when I try to play with the EQ. Even drastic knob changes seem to have no effect at least to my untrained ears… Then sometimes with my not very aggressive Bridge Humbucker I want to make the tone a little bit more aggressive/scratchy. I haven’t found the perfect EQ settings/boost capture etc. yet for this purpose.
Another other basic thing is to help clean tones to stand out better in the mix. So when I have a Clean Funk Tone and I want it to have more definition, clarity… whatever I use the Bogner Harlow Pedal which does that very good when the treble knob is at about one o clock. So the higher frequencies get boosted a little bit. By the way there are captures of the Harlow for the QC, but only the tonal flavor is captured not the compression effect and to my ears those captures don’t make a big difference. But please don’t get me wrong. I appreciate every capture which is shared on the cloud, but finding “the right one” sometimes is not so easy. But what I want to say is that my goal would be to be able to help the funk guitar tone standout in the mix only with the tools which the QC has in the box without the need of any external pedal or internal capture. I just got to have to make my homework…
