Neural DSP Quad Cortex®

The most powerful floorboard amp modeler on the planet

The Neural DSP Quad Cortex delivers unprecedented power and flexibility for guitarists and bassists, combining advanced amp modeling, effects processing, and profiling into one compact, intuitive floorboard unit. With six cores of processing power, it can run multiple amps, stereo reverbs, and effects simultaneously without breaking a sweat.

Vulgar Display of Power

• Six cores of processing for limitless sound design possibilities.
• Run multiple amplifiers, stereo reverbs, and numerous effects at once.

Neural Capture™

• Replicates the sonic characteristics of any physical amp, cabinet, or overdrive with biomimetic AI technology.
• Perceives sound akin to human hearing for the most natural capture possible.
• Access a growing collection of free rig captures from top producers and sound designers.

Massive Sound Library

• 90+ amps, 100+ effects, 1000+ IRs.
• Cab block with virtual microphones for studio-style positioning.
• Support for third-party IRs, easily loaded into the device.
• Powerful parametric EQ optimized for the 7" multi-touch display.

Intuitive Workflow

• Drag-and-drop block routing for easy signal chain editing.
• Visualized inputs and outputs for instant adjustment.
• Switching Modes: Stomp, Scene, Preset modes for flexible control.
• Assign any block to a footswitch like an analog pedalboard.
