Hello,
I’m new to the Quad Cortex. I did read the manual but still don’t quite understand. I have a Boss PS-6 pedal setup for detune and would like to know how I would connect the PS-6 to the QC effects loop so the detune effect is in stereo? The PS-6 has one input and two outputs. Would I need a splitter cable for going into the PS-6?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Here’s the solution if anyone is curious. Thanks to Neural DSP Support for this:
"Row 1 has input 1 setup as that is where my instrument is connected. I set up an overdrive pedal for flavor and then the amp “head”.
After the amp I have the FX loop send 1, which goes to my effect pedal which in you case would be the input of the PS-6.
After FX Loop Send I set up a Splitter.
Then I set up FX Loop Returns 1 on the top lane, and 2 on the bottom lane, and after each one I set up a Cab block in mono, which then go to their individual outputs which in my case are 3 and 4.
I am not using lane 3 or 4 in this setup."
that’s interesting. I held off posting anything because I haven’t tried that particular setup personally.
I wonder why they recommend the splitter over using the Return 1/2 block on the grid, followed by a stereo Cab or IR loader? I guess so you could apply individual fx to the separate sides of the pedal returns. You could also have separate EQs for the stereo lanes too. Pretty versatile.
Don’t you need the splitter for the stereo detune effect? Where one side is cents decreased and the other side is cents increased. For example, the left side is set to -10 cents and the right side is set to +10 cents. Otherwise, without the splitter, the left and right sides will be combined together?
Possibly. That’s how I’ve always done the micro-pitch trick, on a splitter.
But for stereo pedals I’ve always used the FXLoop 1/2 block on one Lane, sent to multi-out and that preserves my stereo image. Haven’t really experimented enough with separate send/returns, maybe it requires the split for that particular layout
