  • Here's a tutorial on how to set up and use expression pedals with the Quad Cortex. I discuss basic setup, the different menu parameters for expression pedal use, as well as signal flow and considerations of where/when to use expression pedals in your presets. A (very) basic version of the Kemper Profiler's excellent "morphing" feature is possible on the QC, and I outline that in this video. I discuss the expression bypass feature of the QC as outlined in the Quad Cortex owner's manual. Finally, I look at using a Wah block and volume block in the same preset and how to efficiently navigate them if you have an expression pedal without a toe switch.

    I have watched numerous videos and set up a bunch of gain blocks assigned to my expression pedal, but this is the first time that I’ve heard anything about setting the range max to 50%, to keep the Dbs to zero. That was a huge detail to learn, thanks!

    Thank you Dustyn! Your QC Vids are so clear and informative. Please continue to make them and discuss different topics. Love each one!

    Thanks Dustyn. I shared this over on the Neural Forum. I really appreciate the high quality videos you make for our community. God bless.

    Great video! Another approach for 'morphing' if you would like to blend between radically different chains is to set up a split row and assign the XP to the balance control of the Splitter or mixer- then you can morph/blend between two entire signal chains.

      Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

    This is what I have been looking for❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
    Is it possible to assign 'reverse'?
    I mean... can I assign 100 at minimum and 70 at maximum?

    Nice and helpful video! Thanks Dustyn! Btw what are u using for powering the qc?

      Glad you enjoyed! I am using the Ciocks DC7

      @Dustyn Fink ok, as many of the qc users. I got my qc tomorrow and very curious about how it sounds and how I like it over the helix. I guess I have to buy the dc7 too don't I? Grtzzz Leon

      @@LikeU2tributeband not necessarily; the stock/factory power supply works just fine for me. It depends on what you need or want on your board. I ONLY use the QC, and the factory PSU is fine for that

    Have already test any expression pedal with a switch on QC? Is it work on just one cable assignment?

  • @TheAtheistworld
    @TheAtheistworld Před 11 měsíci

    So basically every parameter of any effect blocks can be assigned to an expression pedal or LFO generator like copilot broadcast?? Most of the parameters of wet effects like reverbs delays choruses etc? Right? Thnx

    How did to fix the QC expression pedal's latency problem?

  • @phowell333

    You use the exp pedal for swells but I want to use it to vary volume in general. With the wah/volume setup you use, if you want max volume when using the wah, do you have to make sure the pedal has the volume at 100% before engaging the wah or will the volume remain at where the pedal placed it before engaging the wah? Or does bypassing the volume/gain block automatically put the volume at 100%?

    • @DCFGuitar
      @DCFGuitar  Před rokem

      Yes, bypassing the gain block will give you 100% volume for Wah

    • @littlespaceman
      @littlespaceman Před měsícem

      Out of interest why are you using the Gain Utility block rather than the Volume utility block?
