The Neural DSP Quad Cortex is a groundbreaking guitar and bass multi-effects processor and modeling engine that offers infinite tonal possibilities both on stage and in the studio. Powered by four cores of SHARC DSP, this next-gen floorboard amp modeler boasts 50 amplifier models, 1000 impulse responses, and 70 stompboxes, plus Neural Capture technology for modeling your own amps, cabs, and pedals. Quad Cortex packs everything a modern player needs into one sleek, road-ready unit. With 11 footswitches that double as rotary encoders, a built-in looper, and tons of I/O, it’s the ultimate all-in-one rig for guitarists and bassists alike. The 7-inch multi-touch screen, built-in Wi-Fi, and seamless integration with Cortex Control and Cortex Cloud make dialing in tones quick and easy.
Neural Capture allows you to capture custom models of amps, cabs, and pedals, so you can take all of your favorite tones on the road in one simple box. Powered by SHARC DSP and advanced machine learning technology, Neural Capture faithfully replicates the nuances of analog gear such as saturation, breakup, and sag, so your tone and dynamics respond just how you expect them to.
The Neural DSP Quad Cortex comes loaded with more than 50 legendary guitar and bass amplifier models captured directly from the source with painstaking attention to detail. Each model accurately emulates the intricacies of iconic gear, capturing their unique character and tonal complexity. Plus, since each model responds dynamically to different guitars, pickups, pedals, volume levels, and playing styles, there are endless possibilities.
Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex makes it easy to quickly dial in your favorite tones with three distinct modes: Stomp, Scene, and Preset. Stomp Mode provides the familiar pedalboard-style functionality where each stomp switch toggles part of the signal chain on or off. Scene Mode allows multiple effects to be triggered simultaneously for quickly switching tones during your set, while Preset Mode gives you immediate access to your eight favorite rigs.
A bright, 7‑inch display with multi-touch functionality makes navigating and controlling the Neural DSP Quad Cortex as intuitive as using a smartphone or tablet. With simple swipes to access presets and touch gestures to adjust parameters or reorder effects blocks, this premium touchscreen display offers immediate visual feedback that makes it easy to craft tones or program presets on the fly. 1
The Neural DSP Quad Cortex features 11 sturdy, dual‑function rotary footswitches that combine the tactile response of a traditional stompbox with the hands-on precision of digital rotary encoders. Depending on the operating mode, these versatile hardware controls can be used to toggle effects on and off, switch scenes, or adjust parameters.
Packed into the rear panel are two XLR/TRS/TS combo inputs with built-in microphone preamps, two XLR line output jacks, two quarter-inch output jacks, dual effects loops, a stereo headphone output jack, and a Capture Out for the Neural Capture system. There are also two inputs for expression pedals, 5-pin MIDI In/Out/Thru jacks for MIDI control, and a USB port.
Looping has become a must-have feature of floorboard amp modelers, and the Neural DSP Quad Cortex delivers with a built-in loop system with extended record time, quantization, and flexible placement within your signal chain. Going above and beyond standard looping functions, the onboard looper allows you to build dynamic arrangements on the fly in a live setting or when composing in the studio.
The by CorOS 3.0 update makes the Neural DSP Quad Cortex compatible with Neural DSP plug-ins such as Archetype: Gojira X and Archetype: Plini X, expanding your sonic palette and offering fresh creative inspiration. Future updates will enhance this integration further, with new Neural DSP plug‑ins and expanded functionality.
Stay connected and keep your device up to date with the Neural DSP Quad Cortex's built‑in Wi‑Fi module, which offers wireless integration with mobile devices, cloud platforms, and the Cortex mobile app. This connectivity enables you to download new presets, perform over‑the‑air firmware updates, and back up your carefully crafted sounds without having to connect the floor modeler a computer.
Cortex Control is the innovative management interface of the Neural DSP Quad Cortex floor modeler, designed to provide comprehensive control over the unit’s advanced features. The user-friendly interface makes it easy to fine‑tune your signal routing, adjust effects parameters, and integrate Neural DSP plug‑ins effortlessly. Cortex Cloud connects your Neural DSP Quad Cortex to a thriving online ecosystem of tones created by passionate musicians, unlocking a vast repository of user‑designed presets and allowing you to share your own creations with the community. You can even back up your settings and receive firmware updates over the air.
