I’ve had my QC for about 4 or 5 months now. I haven’t had the volume issues that I’ve seen talked about here and there. I did find a strange blip blip blip with a very particular signal chain, but I rebuilt that troublesome preset and for whatever reason that blip went away.
The upgrade was awesome (yes the internet connection is a bit flakey but honestly I don’t care because that’s like 5% of my use-case and it hasn’t “stopped” working), I got both Plini and Gorjira plugins and have since blended them, mix & match, with my presets. I can’t wait for the next upgrade…
The 70 second boot time is what it is. I don’t know why that has been such a big deal. I use the standby mode, I have presets with intentionally no inputs as markers for instrument changes etc… When I want it off, I turn it off, when I want it on, it’s on in a minute-ish.
I run both effects loops… use the side-chaining and hybrid stomp and scene mode all the time.
Not only this… but I’m able to dial in my presets, settings and effects changes far better than I ever have before. This is by far the best multiprocessor that I’ve used (not that I’ve used many).
I just wanted to change the tone for a minute because I’ve been very happy with my QC.
