What kind of pedalboard are you guys using?

My problem is that I run with the QC, a Whammy DT, a tuner pedal, a wah. The board starts needing to be on the large side for only a few things and it gets awkward. I just put everything on the floor for now. Maybe I’ll do two smaller boards. One for the tuner and whammy DT, one for QC and wah.

I’ve been looking at that exact board. What are you using for power?


I’m using 12V myVolts Premium Power Supply {compatible with Neural DSP Floor Modeler Quad Cortex} also have it wired for the powerpack using the Mission 529m as back up, great if there’s bad mains or interference. The link for the PSU is - UK 12V myVolts Premium Power Supply compatible with Neural DSP Floor Modeler Quad Cortex

This very simple pedalboard handles all my gigging needs. I use the MC8 to switch scenes, and QC to control stomps within scenes. Its more complex and bigger than my Helix, but I think it sounds and functions better. I’m running this into Powercab 112+ or 212 depending on the gig.

Hi Golw
Very nice setup ! ! !
How can you have the my volts power supply with an angled cable in the quad cortex ?
And where did you find the violet plugs in the unused holes ?
Thanks

I have two plugs, one from my volts psu and one from the mission which I swap as required, the dust covers are available on ebay - JACKCAP GIG READY 6.3mm 1/4in XLR Dust Plug Cover Audio Keyboard Mixer JACK CAP | eBay

Ok that makes sense :wink:
And thanks for the dust covers link ! ! !

Using a Metro 16 as pedalboard, perfectly fits the QC and my HoTone SoulPress II.
All powered by the Cioks DC7, just so I can use a regular power plug, rather than the PSU that was included with the QC.

Weighs in at just about 3,89 kgs (8 1/2 lbs) and still fits comfortably into the same backpack I also have my laptop in.

SoulPress II is connected to either work as a standalone Wah/Volume or as expression pedal, which is done mainly because I do not like the Wahs that are in the QC at the moment.

That is brilliant! I’m going for the same thing. Do you mind sharing which power supply that is? Cheers!

No guarantees on quality but mine worked fine for two nights of practice so far.

I bought this supply:

I cut the power plug off and put this male IEC connector on it:

Then I cut the plug and some wire off of an old wall wart that used the same size DC barrel plug. I don’t recommend this method unless you know how to solder and how to work a multimeter to verify the output voltage and polarity. But if you’ve got that then this is way cheaper that the COIKS and doesn’t include any of the extra features that I’m not using.

I’ve been running my QC on a PedalTrain 1. I recently swapped out an SY-1 to make room for a Morningstar MC3 to switch between Preset / Scene / Stomp / Gig modes. Sometimes I think about getting a medium MONO board when I want more space. I also have a small Voodoo Lab board when I just want to run the QC and expression pedal.

If got two Mission Engineering SP1-ND-GY pedals, one for volume, the other for wah or other effects, depending on the patch or scene, but of course you can do al lot, like multiple effects

I will admit I am guilty I don’t even use my Quad Cortex I still can’t find the sound I want. I have a LANEY Ironhorse 60H with a LANEY 4 12 cab.
I do alot of parties and private events I use my little SPARK 40w. amp and I use backing tracks to solo over and that Spark amp has the best harmonics I’ve ever heard. I am not giving up hope on the Quad Cortex though. I just need some help getting the sound I am looking for. here’s my a song using my Spark amp thats the sound I’m looking for. for some reason I don’t think this song is working right in here?? let me know if it’s working!! thanks!!

Well like I said I don’t even use my Quad Cortex! But yes I do know how to set it up. The problem I’m having is I can’t find the sound that I like.

a suggestion:
capture that Laney of yours
Then play it a lower volume on the QC :slight_smile:
