Neural DSP Quad Cortex Review

The Quad Cortex has been popping up all over my feed for a couple of years now and a few months ago, I decided that it was time that I gave it a shot. Advertised as an all-in-one unit with a vulgar display of power, it had my attention. This unit is a great fit for someone who wants to have an all-in-one unit, or an amp-less setup.

Captures & Profiles for Church Guitar Players

Kemper & Quad Cortex presets are a dime a dozen. The difference with ours is that we cater them specifically to our user-case. We know exactly how we want to use a RAT in a worship song for example. We set these captures and profiles to work really well with a pedalboard running into them as well as using on board effects. My personal usage has always been with a board in front, or at least an effects loop involved. Too few of these presets for Kemper or Quad Cortex cater to this usage.

Yamaha DM3-D 22 Review

I’m excited about the announcement of this board considering the jam packed features that it’s boasting. The Yamaha DM3-D 22 is a 16 input, 8 output digital console.

So who is the Yamaha DM3-D 22 for exactly?
