Ok so I want to use the QC as just an amp platform and run my external drives into it (without using a fx loop) like I would a real amp. I’m having difficulty making it sound good though. I know it’s doable because Cory Wong does it. Has anyone else done it and if so how did you get it to sound good?
Running external pedals into the input of the QC can sound great. I do it with my pedalboard. But we need more info.
- What does sound good mean to you?
- What amp block or amp captures are you using?
- What drive pedals are you using? (My Earthquaker Hizumitas [Big Muff clone] tends to like not going into an amp block at all.)
- Are you using cab block or IR block to FRFR system, or are you running a no IR output to a physical power amp + cab?
- Have you changed any settings with input gain or impedance?
- Are you you using other effects before or after the amp or capture block?

I’ve just plugged OD pedals into input 1 or 2 and thought it sounded great. Actually for me it sounded better than using the modeled or my captured ODs.
