Soldano SLO100 channels in Scenes under one Preset

Quad Cortex

Is there a way to set Soldano Amps crunch and clean in their separate Scenes in the same Preset? Or is the only way to now have them in different Presets?

You can assign that control to scenes, but it will likely have a slight gap/audio drop-out when switching

What xush said, exactly. Yes you can assign them to scenes, and yes there’s a small gap when switching.

You could use two amp blocks and bypass in scenes.

I use that set up to switch between a Friedman clean and rhythm Amps find it works out well.

I’ve been switching between a Fender Super capture for cleans and a SLO capture for dirty tones for the last couple of months, works great indeed.

I loved the idea of possibly using just a single amp block for clean, crunch, and distortion tones with the SLO-100 plug-in in the QC.

I tried it today with scenes and noticed the audio gap during scene switching. Not what I would have wanted, but I found that I could add two amp blocks in the top two rows (processors 1 & 2), plus I can add more in the bottom two rows (processors 3 & 4). Bypassing multiple amp blocks with scenes is the way to go.

I did a lot of A/B comparison between the plug-in in the QC and the previous SLO amp blocks. The amp blocks feel more forward and aggressive, while the plug-in feels more smooth and pick-sensitive (and also aggressive when needed). Neural did a terrific job with the plug-in crossover.

This is a great topic, what this opens up for me is this…
I play a 3-4 song set weekly . As I like to keep the songs similar for continuity, there are times where the the next song tone really deserves something closer amp wise Having the rest of the signal chain in place already , lets me just hit another scene with that different amp

I too just finished a patch that uses scenes A B C D for Clean, Drive, Overdrive and Lead, all using the Soldano SLO-100 plugin. I love the tones, but the gap switching between the Clean, Crunch and OD are too great to be used in a gig situation. I have to switch between these a lot, usually while playing.

Quad Cortex should load and cache all of the amp captures required to support different models in the same amp plugin. That should reduce the time required to switch the captures as they would already be loaded into memory.

I’m going to try to work around this by using the Crunch mode for all 4 scenes. That’s pretty much what I did with the Solo 100 Crunch Normal model. Might require using a drive in the lead scene, but that’s fine.

Thanks. This looks/sounds like a good solution.:+1:
