Love the Quad Cortex but HATE the reverb?

What if I told you, you’ve been routing your effects entirely wrong? That’s right. It’s all… wrong. And no, I’m not talking about putting the delay and reverb in front of the amp. I’m talking about how we route modulation and time based effects to the output of the quad cortex. So how did I come across this realization? Well, I randomly got into wet dry wet rig setups this past week. Which for those of you that don’t know is a way of routing your guitar so that you can have deeper modulation and delay and reverb without losing the clarity of what you’re playing. Basically your guitar gets split so all the drives and what not hit the amp and go out. That’s your dry. Then your signal is split at the amp and goes through a separate chain with all of your chorus, delay, verb, etc and comes out a different set of speakers. That’s your wet. It sounds really cool. Very studio like.
So let’s start here: this is how I’ve been routing my guitar effects: drives stereo amps chorus delay verbs out to the house. I think it sounds awesome. It’s very spacious and stereo. But since I’m so hell bent on making the Quad Cortex sound as good as possible, I thought there has to be a way to apply this wet/dry/wet thing to the quad cortex. I did some research and read an article by line 6 and figured the principles would apply... Now watch this. I’m going to take the exact same setting but I’m going split the delay and verbs. So rather than having the delay go into the reverb, I’m going to have the delay be on its own lane, and the reverb be on its own lane. So both effects are still on and coming out the same output, but they are isolated from each other. Kind of like using a send in mixing in a DAW.
Pretty cool right? We now have more clarity on the main guitar sound, and I would say the delay tails are also clearer. But let’s take this one step further. We’re going to lose our stereo amp setup in favor of one amp so that we can use lane 2 as a separated send for modulation effects. So now we have all of our modulation, delay, and reverb hitting the output separately.
To me, I liked the sound of just having the delay and reverb separated. It gives a lot more clarity to the guitar, and more clarity to our delay. That feels like the sweet spot to me. Also cool, which you can do in either of the last two configurations, but you can really crank the delay and verb without losing the sound of what you’re playing.
It’s kind of a top notch hack for anyone trying to get a super vibey worship, ambient, pop, or whatever tone. Let me know your favorite routings in the comments, and be sure to drop a like on the video. And of course, subscribe to the channel for more videos on guitar, and the quad cortex.
