Not gonna lie, I'm gassing for a Quad Cortex right now.
Done a couple of festival gigs in quick succession that made me long for a rig that can get on and off the stage faster.
Reason quad cortex appeals to me is that it can capture pedals. So I can literally have my pedal sounds in digital form and have options of going either direct to FOH with amp sims or just going direct into a clean house amp. I've got an HX Stomp and the drive pedals into a real amp at volume don't convince me TBH. I also find a lot of the drive pedal selection isn't what I'm after or have on my board.
Have any quad cortex owners done the above? How have you found the unit? thanks

It also can't have more than one pedal assigned to a footswitch in stomp mode, so there are some fairly significant limitations at the moment.
What is actually on your board out of interest?

Otherwise the selection of drives is ok! No Timmy though

Also - fuzz - I didn't realise it had a time component - perhaps I've not understood the term correctly. Could you expand on that ?

Still confused by the idea that fuzz has a time component.

Basically I think the capture technology does not sample a long enough period of time to get that sag/whatever that a fuzz pedal has. Presumably this would make the processing time exponentially longer.
There's a comment from Doug somewhere online about the specifics of why the quad can't really accurately replicate fuzz with the captures...
For your next challenge, please capture a Zvex Machine

Seems a really, non-complicated board, I don't get why you would digitise that unless you have a monsterously heavy amp
