I’m not sure what realnsert is but in logic you just change the output on the dry channel to input 1 or something like that. You shouldn’t need any additional software.

I’m not sure. Is there possibly something to do with the A/D converters? I’m sure pretty powerful hardware doesn’t hurt. If I plug into logic with my scarlet 2i2, I think it's something like 12.6ms round trip latency for reference.

It has 3 stereo output channels, for the main, sub and dry. One thing worth mentioning is that while you will stack up latency by reamping, it’s still pretty negligible. The GT1000 latency is significantly less that the other units out there, I think it was 4ms or something crazy. I’m sure that would increase if you’re using FX loops though.

Currently listening to this at about 40% speed, trying to learn the bass 😬 while I'm not sure I'll ever play it anywhere near as fast and clean, It'll make for some excellent exercise riffs.

Long overdue! Curious what’s going in but I imagine it’ll be excellent, they need some new models, certainly for bass.

Core has excellent reamping facilities, probably about the same price as a decent interface and reamp box and waaaaay less hassle.

This kind of problem solving is one thing I miss with the Capo 😂

This setup is the most flexible in terms of routing. It lets you position FX blocks from the HX before, between or after the 2 FX loops. If you did want stereo or 2 distinct paths for both of the CAPO DIs it’d be fairly straightforward to sacrifice the clean pre DI for it.

This is how I set it up with the GT1000core. It allows you to use the clean DI on the CAPO as intended. Using the FX loops in this way means that in the Stomp, FX loop 1 is any external drives, FX loop 2 is the preamp stage of the CAPO. The post DI will be your main output from the Stomp. I ran the GT1000core with the left out back to the CAPO post return for the CAPO post DI which left the right out to run to my amp which meant I could handle the signal routing separately and only have cab sims for the DI. Not sure if that’s what you’re after though. Are you wanting to use both CAPO DI for stereo/multiple outputs from the Stomp rather than pre/post?

I certainly wouldn't describe Cali as transparent, certainly not compared to the MXR m87, etc. It's not as much colour as the Lusithand Alma IMO but there's a definte flavour. I might try comparing the OC2 capture and Octaver with my OC5!

I think there is definitely some colour added by Cali. Perhaps a capture in combination with the internal compressors would be close enough to pass. I noticed some Boss OC2 captures, I'm guessing people do similar and add the capture along with a built-in octaver to get some flavour in there.

Pushed some captures up of my Shiftline Olympic mk3 preamp. Been playing with these quite a bit and am pretty happy with them. They're virtually indistinguishable from the real thing and take drives really nicely. https://cloud.neuraldsp.com/cloud/u/MrDinsdale/neural_capture I particularly like the "SLO - Clank - Mid" capture. It has the top-end boost engaged and a little hair, which sounds great with a pick.

Sorry typo, I meant the Cali76 and Black Math are the 2 I couldn't replicate 😂

So far, though, the Black Math and Cali76 are the 2 pedals I could replicate on the device via captures or onboard models. This is a first for me. I never got close on a GT1000/HX no matter how much EQ and parallel processing I tried.

I've been having a play with running some drives into the QC fx loop (before the Science Mother). Most of these can easily be swapped for captures, I've already got a couple captured reasonably well. The Black Math is a spluttery monster of a fuzz and probably won't capture well. Is anyone using a fuzz in the fx loop or up front of the QC? I've dipped the send level to -4.5db for unity gain, which made the pedals instantly respond in a more predictable way.

These sound great. I love the demo stuff I've heard. This and the new Eae Prismic Wall fall into the “stuff I desperately want to play with but have no idea what I'd do with it” category.

What does it do?! Looks great!

Had the QC a few days now and had a bit of time to dig in. I'm really impressed with the amp models, so far better than any others I've tried. There are a bunch of excellent captures for stuff like the Nobel pre, too. The drives are great, although they need some more. The modulations and other effects are great, but we need more variety. For me, given that I'm mostly interested in amps and drives though its perfect.

I’m not sure it’s a different direction to a typical user, just a different direction to some people here. I know plenty of people who’re all about having everything in one unit and totally get it. I’m just far too picky about my drive and preamp tones, so far only the QC has gotten close but the compressors ain’t great so I want to have my Cali on there. Built in PSU/IEC isn’t a big for me, even if I had a big floor unit I’d probably have it on a pedalboard with a patchbay so I wasn’t plugging/unplugging it all the time. If anything having something I can power with the Cioks 7 is a bigger selling point.

Aye, I've not found one that does everything perfectly. My findings so far: QC absolutely nails the amps, cabs and drives, IMO better than either the HX or GT. That's before you factor in captures etc. It really falls short of the other 2 for modulation and delay options. The GT offers up some solid Boss classics along with a bunch of other classics. Still, it's mostly straightforward stuff you'd expect, and their ecosystem of supporting software and release cadence is pretty underwhelming. HX offers way more stuff and a better community and update cycle. I think they have some cool boutique-esq stuff in there, too, besides the more predictable offerings, which would take a lot of faffing to emulate on a GT or QC. I wasn't impressed with the amps or drives except for a couple, which were fine. The DSP power of the stomp is the biggest detractor. It's all incredibly subjective, at the end of the day, and what is a good or acceptable sound will differ wildly between individuals based on their preferences, the kind of music they play, and their willingness to compromise. For me, if I had to pick one or if I had to use it in isolation without any external pedals, it'd be the same order: Quad Cortex GT1000core HX Stomp Fractal looks incredible despite the minimal bass offering, but it is way out of my acceptable price range.

It's less the cost of the Floor which I dislike, but the footprint; the same goes for the full GT1000. I love the Stomp/GT1000core profile and the ability to integrate with other pedals, I'd pay more for a Stomp with a more modern chipset with the power of the Floor. When I tried the Stomp, I hit DSP issues quickly, especially once I started doing any parallel processing, which was a huge disappointment. This was far less the case with the GT1000core which, for me, made it far more worthwhile. I could use the GT1000core by itself happily if I wasn't so picky about some of the drive tones, I don't think the Stomp would get me through without supplementing with a preamp and drive or two. Both are cool units, but both carry some caveats.

Well, I'm having a minor crisis as I think I liked the Hiwatt amp model more than the SLOmk3, which was my holy grail of preamps. Gonna have to do more AB comparisons, but it's forces me to re-evaluate and possibly have a switch up of what goes on the board with the QC.

Aye chaining should be good. There's definitely little things I'm noticing that seems crazy not to have in there, like having preset input levels for different instruments. Nothing seems like a major issue so far, and it is all easy to work around. I'm really surprised how good the amp models sound, particularly Hiwatt. I'm not surprised. I like it as the Science Mother is based on a Hiwatt, which I also love. Had another hour to play around and got a nice basic guitar and bass rig going. It sounds excellent and is already gonna resolve a few recording issues I was having with my 2i2 and reamping etc.

I just downloaded a few presets. It was great to find all the captures and presets I'd found while waiting for it to be delivered waiting for me. I've had an hour on it: I absolutely love their Hiwatt 103 bass amp model, it sounds excellent. The interface is super intuitive, haven't read the manual yet and haven't hit any issues. After a quick play with the drives, they seem pretty decent so far and even enjoy the DG drives. Cab simulations seem solid. Compressors seem passable, better than HX but not as good as GT1000 IMO. I'll be keeping the Cali76. Set up Cortex Control on my Mac. I managed to do a few captures of my Science Mother preamp pedal. It's so easy, and I'd say they're about 98% there but the real test will be how they handle being pushed. All in all, a pretty impressive amount was achieved within a short space of time! Excited to really get stuck in!
