First gig with the QC - thoughts

The Eureka chip is a third party replacement for the factory chip. It has preprogrammed setups for many different units. It worked very well when I was a Kemper user. Costs around 30 bucks and is very easy to install. They have a competitor whose name escapes me at the moment.

Funny to use the FCB for a multi Fx unit with 11 own swirches.
It tells me that we need the QC pure: no Switches no Display half the size, half the price !

In other words, a Tonex pedal.

Tonex pedal???
There are display, switches ans knobs on it.
Less inputs, no compettitor to QC.

No, the user interface is Tablet, PC, MAC and Midi-Pedal. The rest is QC pure power.

The compromises we have on the QC with the display shall be replaced by existing better solutions like FCB 1010 and Ipad.

I see. However, if you want your individual setup (I didn’t just want to mimic the hardware switches of the QC), you need to program the FCB anway, don’t you? It’s a bit time consuming but not that difficult if you got the manual at hand.

No. The main reason for me is to keep an 1.5k€ device from the floor in dirty metal clubs, where audience is going to jump on and spill beer over it. Also, I have a 19’’ wireless in the rack which I want to keep, so putting the QC in the rack was rather the obvious thing to do.

So you are for good reason an other user that does not need switches on the QC
:+1:

Like RomeoKnight, I do not want my QC on the floor but for some added reasons other than beer spilling on it. I like to tweak as I play and don;t like bending over mid song for a quick knob turn. I would prefer to use the QC footswitches as knobs and do my switching on the floor. The Behringer FCB 1010 looks usable but as I gig a lot, the quality looks a little questionable. That’s why I was asking about something like the Mastermind GT10 or something a little more high end.
It seems silly that QC didn’t come out with a rack version and a floor control that would work with it or be able to use another foot controller with it. It would save some money for sure.

The QC is NDSP’s first hardware piece. Getting it up to speed has been slow enough. I can’t imagine how slow it might be if they had a rack version and controller to develop, too. :rofl:

Don’t forget the screen.

Good point…it would have to be 3 rack spaces to fit the screen… :laughing:

Also i don’t think a lot of folks are using racks these days.

Rocktron Midi Mate is a small controller option…!

Small?

I wouldn’t say so.

I used to have an early version of the MIDI Mate. You’re right, a great controller with lots of options. It’s a bit large for most pedalboards but, if you have the room…
