I really wish the fix was this simple haha. It’s still an issue whether there’s a rise or not. I have my QC positioned so it lines up with an open space in my Pedaltrain, so there’s a bunch of room under it in front.
Unfortunately they barely left any room to fit right angle cables with their jack placement, so it’s nearly impossible to get everything in there. The cables cut into the space for the jacks around them. I wish the fix was as simple as having extra room under it, but it’s a huge design flaw of the device itself.
I sometimes wonder how much product testing they did prior to release in order to see how practical the size was haha
Thats exactlly how I feel. The QC amp moddles and pedals sound great but the limited switching and general attidute of the company and certain forum mods really have given me reson to doubt the promises made.
I have my Stadium XL pre-oredered. Even though I love my QC, I 100% plan to change over to it when I get it. Not because the QC can’t do what I need it to do in my band, but because I just want to use a new toy. Getting a little peeved with the slow pace of updates, too, but it is what it is. NDSP have clearly given up on the hardware/firmware front and are now more or less just begrudgingly pushing out just enough updates to not be sued by some consumer protection agency, but their heart clearly isn’t in it anymore (it’s in their plugins, where it’s always been). I think they realized they bit off more than they can chew with a hardware unit. It’s a decent unit, but it was supposed to be the modeler to end all modelers. We’re 5 years in and it’s STILL not where it was promised to be at release.
I sold my QC ages ago and I’m currently looking for a modeler. The sounds from the Stadium did not convince me at all… funny enough I had a dream this last night that I was touring again with the QC and the first gig went the same as the one that led me to sell it… so not a good sign (I did consider getting another QC for a while but the models sound and limited foot switching, the flimsy adaptor make me consider otherwise…).
Maybe try a Nano and some analoge pedals. I switched from the QC to the Nc and bought some external footswitches, some normal pedals and I‘m very happy with it.
As for the stadium, I think I will look at it closer 6 month after its release. Then there will be capturing and all the other features. At launch it looks more like a helix with better amp models
Yeah I think the kicker for me is how do the proxy captures sound and feel. I love how the QC has captured my amp and it just feels so good to play. I was on the preorder list for the stadium but canceled the order to give it some time to see how proxy does.
