Quad Cortex is Neural DSP’s flagship floor unit. Since its release, the family has expanded, and today you can choose from three sizes. They are all based on the same idea: capture the sound of your amp, overdrive, and cabinet with Neural Capture, and take it on stage.
Quad Cortex
The full-size model with 11 footswitches that also function as knobs, two combo inputs with XLR and jack, two effects loops, MIDI, and every connection you can imagine. The largest and most versatile in the family, for those who want to replace their entire pedalboard and amp.
Quad Cortex Mini
The same processing power in a smaller enclosure with 4 footswitches and a 7-inch color screen. It measures 22.8 × 11.8 cm and weighs 1.5 kg, with 90+ amps, 100+ effects, and over 1,000 cabinet IRs.
Nano Cortex
A small pedal that replaces your amp and cabinet. You can create captures directly on the pedal without a computer. It has room for 256 captures and 256 custom IRs, features a built-in tuner, and weighs 620 g.
Which one should I choose?
| You want … | Choose |
|---|---|
| all the options and plenty of footswitches | Quad Cortex |
| the same sound in a smaller, lighter enclosure for stage use and travel | Quad Cortex Mini |
| a small pedal to replace the amp and cabinet in your own setup | Nano Cortex |
Neural Capture and Cortex Cloud
With Neural Capture, Cortex units can learn and recreate the sound of a physical amp, overdrive, or cabinet. In Cortex Cloud and the Cortex app, you can find and share captures and presets with other users and back up your own.
