Is NDSP just focusing on releasing the next “X” versions to QC or are we to expect other updates (effects, amps…)?. I’m not very impressed with the amp blocks on the QC, specially my go-to amp Vox AC30, so I rely on captures the most but would love for a improved Vox AC30 (and others) on the amp block. I tried a Fender Tone Master and the amp models are really great, feel like an amp… the effect department is just disappointing (no delays above 1500 ms, no usable - for me YMMV - pitch shifting…) but the amp models are really nice (and not just the Fender ones, the Vox AC30 was really nice).
The last update, CorOS 3.1.0, included:
No reason to believe that Neural won’t continue to add new amp or effects blocks, or update old blocks.
The overhaul of amps…in 4.0…or never.
Today i prefer QC captures over models, that are grainy and aliased and without all dynamic aspects that a capture has.
You on fender tonemaster, me with headrush prime 4.0…with prime It seems i’m playing CAPTURES of QC as quality, but they are …models.
But put your Heart in peace.
I think that the overhaul of amps models Will be really far…or never. I don’t know if this Is a limit of black box tech too…
Actually QC Is a dustykeeper and i’m playing / recording with prime, hoping in a future QC overhaul of models (when?.. :-D)
there’s no need for an amp model overhaul lol…
well, ya gotta admit the ones they have updated so far have been great improvements. We never heard back from the TINA questionnaire they let us participate in, which gave the impression their process had developed and improved, but we still don’t know much about what’s going on behind the scenes there.
There are definitely a few amps on the QC I think most users feel could be represented better (Dual Recto…)
There are still some amps, effects etc that were announced (and still are ) and not released yet so there are more that are comming.
The “very aggressive plan to had new amps and features” also was clear at the time although it was removed from the FAQ and replaced by" the collections of sounds will continu to grow, permanently.
Some people thinks it’s already great as it is and some are way more demanding (i am, the QC feels like a dreamcast for me, for those who understand the analogy).
Its not much about adding new ones but improving the current ones. For instance, in my use case, a cranked AC30 sounds nothing like my real AC30 - its grainy and harsh not matter which IR I use and even with a real cab.
QC for me leads in form factor, UI, number of switches and design but the amp models just lacks behind other units.
If NDSP improved the amp blocks it would kill. Even if it’s black box approach they can improve the captures and make terrific amp blocks, IMHO. They really should focus on this in my opinion.
Have you tried capturing the amp sounds you like on the tone master pro with the QC? Seems like then you could have the best of both?
