bypass ALL amp models within the existing presets (allowing them to be re-enabled manually as needed)
bypass all cab/speaker models within existing presets (allowing them to be re-enabled manually as needed)
change the default output from the XLR (output 1,2) to 1/4 inch (output 3, 4) - or to any combination of outputs (XLR-L and 1/4-L, for example)
My current rig will use the QC in 4CM, or as a preamp/amp model going into the return of my guitar amp.
For ease of use, all the presets in the QC need to have a default 1/4" output (currently defaults to XLR) and speaker sims ALL bypassed.
I may or may not wish to use my guitar amp’s preamp, in which case I would either go 4CM or into the Return, requiring amp sims to be ALL on or ALL off.
I do not want to have to do that manually. Can we have a global bypass option for each category of effect, starting with speakers and amp sims?
We might also want to disable all gates, all reverbs, all… you get the idea. Once globally disabled they could be individually re-enabled as needed manually.
Coming from Axe FX II, I’m really missing the global bypass for Cab sims as well - moving from jam room, where I go into the FX return of a 2 x 12 combo to the stage where I just go direct FOH, this is a super handy feature.
Coming from Kemper Land, I’d really love to see something like global cab sim disable for only outputs 3/4.
This way we could run live cabs on stage but still run cab sims via xlr without having to do it manually or extra re-routing. This would make factory presets more easily usable in this context.
It’s Feb 2024 now, but still we don’t have Global Bypass of Cabs and IRs for each output.
Global EQ can be bypassed by the outputs on the Global EQ option, so I really need the same function for the Cabs and IRs.
Then I could omit the splitter in the row 3 and 4 that divides Output 1 with a cab going to the house and Output 3 without a cab going to amplifier.
This feels like you are seeking a less cumbersome method for global bypass of options on the Quad Cortex, particularly for amp models, cab/speaker sim, and output routing, while still having freedom for your 4CM system or sending out to your return on your amp. Although some per-preset control is provided by the Quad Cortex at the moment, being able to globally bypass all the amp models, cab sims, or switch output configurations simultaneously is not currently stated in documentation. But this type of feature would be an excellent addition to the system, as it would provide users such as yourself with increased control and convenience without having to turn each setting on for each preset manually. I would suggest passing this comment directly to Neural DSP since they’re currently working on the Quad Cortex and tend to release firmware updates that include new features requested by users.
This is all sort of assuming your cab is at the end of the chain. If you’re going to have any effects after the cab block, it would require more DSP for the sound to be processed multiple ways. Realistically you should just put the sounds you don’t want with the cab sim on another lane…..
