The Future of Multi-Effect Pedals: Neural DSP Quad Cortex!
Quad Cortex is the most powerful floorboard amp modeler in the world. With a total of 6 cores, this massive processing power offers limitless sound design possibilities. Want to run four amp models, stereo reverb, and a host of other effects simultaneously? Quad Cortex doesn’t even break a sweat.
Incredibly Compact
By using advanced mechanical design and manufacturing techniques, we not only built the most powerful floor modeler/multi-effect processor in the world but also packed it into an extremely compact format.
Neural Capture
Capture, share, and download the sounds of your favorite rigs. Equipped with our unique biomimetic AI technology, Quad Cortex can learn and replicate the tonal characteristics of any physical amplifier, overdrive, and cabinet with unprecedented accuracy.
Our advanced neural network algorithm perceives sound similarly to humans, making it the most natural capture solution on the planet.
We collaborate with some of the best producers and sound designers to offer a constantly growing collection of free rig captures alongside our full-circuit models.
Multitouch Display
With its huge 7-inch multitouch display, the Quad Cortex is incredibly easy to use. Effortlessly create even the most complex signal chains.
Cab Block
With over 1000 perfectly captured impulse responses, Quad Cortex ships with one of the most extensive IR collections in the world—and it’s the only one of its kind equipped with virtual microphones that can be positioned around the speaker just like in a real studio.
Components
The Quad Cortex features a beautiful anodized aluminum housing with laser-engraved graphics that never fade. Our multitouch display is armored with 1.8 mm chemically hardened Corning protective glass.
1
Two combo inputs: TS, TRS, and XLR, with variable impedance and level controls, built-in mic preamps, and phantom power.
2
Two effects loops: ideal for integrating external mono or stereo effects into your signal chain, plus additional input/output jacks.
3
6.3 mm output jacks: Two balanced mono outputs (TRS) deliver pristine sound quality and optimal noise performance.
4 & 5
XLR output jacks: two balanced mono outputs (XLR).
Headphone output: perfect for quiet practice.
6
MIDI In, Out/Thru: Receives and sends MIDI commands to automate switching and control all parameters on the Quad Cortex and control other devices.
7
Dual expression inputs: connect up to two expression pedals. They can be assigned to control wahs, volume, and pitch-shifting algorithms.
8
USB: ultra-low latency audio transfer, firmware updates, MIDI, and more.
9
11 newly developed combo footswitches with rotary knob function (like traditional footswitches and knobs but unbreakable). All audio connectors are Neutrik.
Cortex Cloud
Discover users, presets, and Neural Captures via the Cortex Mobile App for iOS and Android devices. Linking your Neural DSP account with your Quad Cortex lets you create backups, share content, and download items from other users. It also unlocks the Impulse Response Library, allowing you to transfer IRs to your Quad Cortex and manage the IRs stored in your account.
Boots in Seconds
Cortex Control boots up in seconds and immediately syncs the current status of your Quad Cortex. Pick up right where you left off—without interruptions to your workflow.
Optimized Workflow
Intuitive mouse actions and keyboard shortcuts ensure smooth and efficient parameter adjustments, file management, task execution, and navigation through Cortex Control.
Bulk Actions
You can copy, like, upload, download, or delete multiple presets with just a few clicks. Likewise, you can edit, upload, download, or delete multiple Neural Captures and IRs at once.
Local Backups
Cortex Control lets you create and manage local backups of your Quad Cortex directly on your computer. You can create as many local backups as you need. Quick actions for renaming, updating, deleting, and retrieving backups make management fast and easy.
Internet via USB
The Quad Cortex can access the internet through the USB cable connecting it to your computer. This ensures uninterrupted internet access for your Quad Cortex, regardless of Wi-Fi availability. The Quad Cortex prefers internet access via USB when Cortex Control is open.
Import IRs
Adding IRs to your Quad Cortex or Cortex Cloud profile is simplified with Cortex Control. Just open your IR library and drag and drop your IRs in. The IRs become immediately available in your Quad Cortex or Cortex Cloud account, depending on which library you uploaded them to.
Live Tuner
Stay in tune without opening the tuner. Toggle the live tuner by holding CMD/CTRL and clicking the tuner button in the utility bar.
Audition Devices
Click a device in The Grid, then click another device in the device list to listen. Click the auditioned device again to add it to the grid and replace the loaded device, or press ESC to cancel the change.
