QC Amp Base SHP

The QC Amp Base SHP is the powerhouse of our QC Amp Base series.

With the QC Amp Base SHP, you transform your Quad Cortex into a compact, lightweight, and portable stereo guitar amplifier setup.

The integrated stereo amplifier power is comparable to a 200++W tube amplifier head, allowing you to harness the incredible sound possibilities of the Quad Cortex anywhere in the world, both in a band context and in the studio in stereo.

You can also operate both stereo channels in bridged mode, creating a truly powerful mono amplifier that can deliver enough power for low-tuned guitars and even bass guitars.

All you need are one or two guitar cabinets to feel the interaction between sound, guitar, and your fingers in a way that's hard to achieve with other solutions like in-ear monitors.

Mounting the Quad Cortex onto the Amp Base is quick and easy. The low height of the Amp Base ensures comfortable operation of the Quad Cortex, and the slight incline makes it even better suited for live performances.

The Amp Base sits directly beneath the Quad Cortex and doesn't require any extra space on the pedalboard or stage floor.

With the Amp Base, you already have a full-fledged stereo, high-power live setup, but it gets even better!

Optionally, the Amp Base comes with an internal 12V/3A power supply that provides voltage to your Quad Cortex through a very short cable.

The advantage: Less cable clutter, and you only need one power outlet for the power cable, which then supplies both the Amp Base and the Quad Cortex simultaneously.

The original QC wall adapter can stay at home.

Are you using additional pedals, tuners, or similar devices alongside the Quad Cortex?

We've also considered this with another option!

Within the Amp Base, there's space for an additional internal 12V power supply that accommodates standard pedalboard power supplies, such as the one like:

• Palmer WT PB 40 Multi Power Supply or
• Voodoo Lab Pedal Power X4
  
  

for example.

Your total power requirement for your entire setup from just one source, using a power cable: the QC Amp Base SHP!

• burst power 2 x 500 watts at the stereo outputs
• burst power 1 x 1250 watts at the bridged mono output
• jack inputs (unbalanced)
• speakon - 1/4" combi sockets for speaker connection
• universal mains (85-265VAC/50-60Hz)
• IEC socket
• power cable included
• weight: 1.0 kg (add 200g for each optional internal DC supply)

* The output power of the QC Amp Base Stereo High Power is limited only by the maximum capacity of its internal power supply.

This means that it can deliver its power regardless of the connected impedance (4, 8, 16 Ohms).

This also means that, for example, only one speaker connected to a stereo output can be powered with up to 280W. If both stereo outputs are connected to individual speakers, the power is divided accordingly (e.g., 2x140W).

The bridged output then also delivers a nominal 280W, but the internal voltages double, resulting in the burst power of this output more than doubling (1250W).
