I own a Quad Cortex for now 3 weeks, and especially with the Plini and Gojira plugins I am very happy (Plini Amp and Gojira cab 3 is my rig to go).
I was curious about the power conseumption of the QC. While I’m playing guitar, the Quad Cortex needs about 14 watts of power. That is an acceptable value. I was a little surprised at the power consumption in standby mode: it was almost 12 watts (apparently only the display is dimmed). When it is shut down, it still draws 1.6 watts from the socket - clearly too much. If you want to save power, it’s best to disconnect it.
