Hi
As the title suggests I’m after an elusive tone that I just can’t get right of Pete Townshend
I’ve downloaded some that I’ve seen on the Neural Downloads but they’re not accurate.
Can anyone point me to a preset for the Quad Cortex that can get that tone ?
You may already know all of this…

Thanks.
A good read i’ve got my Gretsch with the filtertron pickips. i can’t see a Doctor Z bandmaster for the Quad Cortwx though. Do you know of Dr Z amps ?
there are a lot of Fender Bandmaster captures on the cloud, and some DR Z caps too (but not their Bandmaster model)- it’s always a challenge to find captures with the exact settings you need but it’s a starting point.
Because of what a unique configuration that particular Bandmaster is, I think it’ll be difficult to replicate in the QC; I think it’ll have to be more of a tone-matching endeavor than finding the exact specific gear he used. The impedance-mismatched cabinet and rare volume pedal in front of it are factors that will be hard to duplicate. I’d probably take a ‘blind’ stab at it with a Hiwatt and dual 10” cabs with a boost or OD in front.
Thanks I’ll try that. I haven’t seen a boost pedal on The QC, which is it ?
How do i get one of thee volume pedals in the UK ? they look like a U.S, thing to me
The pedal is an Edwards Light Beam volume pedal.
Thanks. I’ll see if i can find one.
I took a crack at it last night, recreating as much of it as I could literally (Bandmaster capture + 3 x 10” speakers). But I couldn’t get it to upload till this morning for some reason. Had to restart the QC several times and eventually it went thru.
This isn’t my forte, but maybe it’s a starting point at least? Gain levels and distortion saturation will have to be adjusted for your pickups, I’m sure. I used a Gretsch with Filtertrons to dial it in and also tested it on Humbuckers
Great I’ll try this later.
Many Thanks for your help.
