I looked really hard and almost bought the Quad Core but ended up getting this:

Slightly different features but the ToneX is all I use now amongst all my options.

Say what? $1,850? Wow, that's a "w" and an "ow". :o I can't imagine spending that much on an EFX unit unless I'm a pro doing live gigs, and doing it for a living.

Danny this unit is not for everyone but some mighty fine pro steel players are really happy with this unit.

It’s not just a effects unit it’s the whole Enchilada.

Depends on where you live. We have no sales tax here in Montana. Even so, that is ridiculously too expensive.

Check with Joe Rogers regarding the Quad Cortex. I think he’s still using his.

Hi Marty! :D

Joe is still using his or was when I saw/talked to him in March although he doesn't use it for fly gigs, he was using something similar but smaller. Joe is a super great guy, I enjoyed meeting and talking to him and I'm sure he would answer any questions anyone had on the Quad Cortex.

If price is an issue I'd look at a Line 6 Helix first. At that price you might as well go all the way and get a tried and true Kemper or Fractal Axe FX.
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; praise is meet for the upright. Give praise to the Lord with the harp, chant unto Him with the ten-stringed psaltery. Sing unto Him a new song, chant well unto Him with jubilation. For the word of the Lord is true, and all His works are in faithfulness. The Lord loveth mercy and judgement; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
- Psalm 33:1-5

I have the complete Fractal Axe 3 setup and it sits idle while I use the Tone X pedal. They pretty much do the same thing for a big price difference.

The Tone X is the easiest and most powerful thing I've found for adjusting EQ and reverb and a little easier to adjust out all the distortion in the presets.
