Hey everyone,
Just got the Mimiq pedal and I’m loving how it sounds for emulating double guitars. I want to use it with my Quad Cortex and have a couple of questions:
Should I plug it into the guitar input on the Quad Cortex, treating it like two guitars, or should I put it in the loop after the amp using the send and return block?
If I go with the loop setup, do I need to use an unbalanced to balanced cable (like the humbuster), or can I use regular unbalanced guitar cables?
I always use inputs 1 and 2. And then use rows 1 and 2 for your amps cabs etc sent to out 1 and 2 or whichever outs youre using. I was using rows 1 and 3 went out 1 and 2 but found out this can cause increase in latency. It’s not a ton but in always trying to minimize latency where possible.
Forgot to mention i pan outs 1 and 2 hard L and R in my daw. Im sure you could pan within the QC but i find it easier to pan afterwords.
Thanks. I did as u mentioned but wearing headphones connected too my QC, i need pan L/R and cant seem to find a way to do that. Any ideas?
tap and hold the output block to access the lane output control.
Problem is amp block sums Input 1 and 2 from mimiq into mono signal. Only solution is to add two paths, one for input 1 and another duplicate cab+sim for input 2 path. I don’t know why amp block doesnt work in mono or stereo input like Neural DSP ampsim.
The amp block behaves like a real amp which would only have a mono input. So yes, you would need two paths, at least up to the amps.
You can however use a mixer after that, so you could use a stereo cab and other stereo blocks after that, so you don’t have to duplicate them.
You should then pan the two paths L/R in the mixer and don’t need to do manage that the output block.
yeah, just doing the two lanes makes the most sense
