Fractal.....still the best IMO

Agreed. Good UI should reduce the steps to do anything (or the most likely things) without then making it more complicated to remember how.


Like them or not, for nav and some other things, touchscreens excel over dedicated buttons and knobs. For other things, not so much.

There always can be UI improvement, whether old-school or 'new-fangled'.

Touch … touch … touch … touch … press … press … ok. Finally.

If you want it to work. Make it a button.

Note buttons are easy to replace. False touch screens are not.

My $800 iPhone doesn’t always work.

I'm going to try the cortex. Have it in the mail. After my back surgery, the size and weight and the capture ability has me intrigued. I'll report back after I've had it for a while.

It is cool form factor. Curious to learn what your experience is with it?

Initial Honeymoon phase (had for about 3 hours), is everything sounds harsh at stage volume (had to quit for a bit, getting ear fatigue), and I cant get the low end chunk like I do in the Axe3. Form factor is great, touch screen is awesome, cloud connectivity, phone app, all nice things. Will keep playing with it this weekend.

Ok, packed up and ready to return. I had to do some interesting carving of a few frequencies in the global eq to get somewhat useable tones. In the end they still fell apart at volume for some reason. No global amps, some convince things like the drop on the tuner, laundry list of other things, just turned me off. I liked a lot of things about it, but it comes down to how does it sound ripping out of my clr's, and in this case it was no comparison.

After having my FM3 for a couple of years and seeing many a demo of QC I’m very happy with my decision. I was originally tempted to get one because of the content creators I like using them, and the shiny pretty exterior. Fractal works so well. It’s easy to use, sounds phenomenal, and so many parameters to tweak (but only if you want to!).
