Want to run four amplifier models, stereo reverbs, and a plethora of other effects simultaneously? Quad Cortex won't even break a sweat.

Vulgar Display of Power: Quad Cortex is the most powerful floor modeler on the planet. With 2GHz of dedicated DSP from its Quad-Core SHARC architecture, this ludicrous amount of processing capacity provides limitless sound design possibilities.

Neural Capture: Capture, share and download your favorite rigs' sounds. Equipped with unique biomimetic AI technology, Quad Cortex can learn and replicate the sonic characteristics of any physical amplifier, overdrive, and cabinet with unprecedented accuracy. Unlike any other, the sophisticated neural network algorithm perceives sound akin to human perception, making it the most natural-sounding capture solution on the planet. Neural has collaborated with some of the best producers and sound designers to provide an ever-growing collection of free rig captures in addition to the full-circuit models. As good as it gets! Quad Cortex packs a vast amount of state-of-the-art emulations of your favorite gear with unprecedented accuracy and unbelievably natural dynamic response.

We figured out a better way to do modelers
With its massive 7" multi-touch display, Quad Cortex is unbelievably easy to use. Effortlessly create even the most complex signal paths.

Neural CNS: Seamlessly Integrate Cortex with your favorite devices. Explore and share endless presets on the cloud using Neural CNS Mobile. It syncs up to your device, and with Quad Cortex's built-in WiFi module all the presets are beamed wirelessly.

Cab Block
With over 1000 perfectly captured impulse responses, Quad Cortex ships with one of the most extensive IR collections on the planet - and it is the only of its kind equipped with virtual microphones that can be positioned around the speaker like in a real studio. Third-party IRs are extremely easy to load.

Powerful Parametric EQ
Absolute control at your fingertips. Taking full advantage of the 7" multi-touch display, our parametric EQ is intuitive and fun to use.

Drag and Drop
Drag and Drop Blocks to change the order or routing in seconds.

Inputs & Outputs

Unbelievably Compact
Using advanced mechanical design and manufacturing techniques, we managed to not only build the most powerful floor modeler/multi-effects processor on the planet, we also managed to pack it all in an extremely compact format.

Dimensions

• 29 x 19.5 x 6.9cm / 11.4" x 7.7" x 2.7"

Weight

• 1.95kg / 4.2lbs

Inputs & Outputs

• Dual Combo Inputs: TS, TRS, and XLR, variable impedance and level controls, built-in microphone preamps, and phantom power supplies.
• Dual effects-loops: ideal for embedding external mono, or stereo effects into your signal chain, as well as additional input/output jacks.
• 1/4" Output jacks: two mono, balanced (TRS) outputs provide pristine sound quality and optimal noise performance.
• XLR Output jacks: two mono, balanced XLR output jacks.
• Headphone Output: ideal for quiet practicing.
• MIDI In, Out/Thru: receive and send MIDI messages to automate switching and control of every parameter in Quad Cortex, as well as controlling other units.
• Dual Expression Inputs: connect up to two expression pedals. They can be assigned to control wahs, volume, as well as pitch-shifting algorithms.
• USB: Ultra-low latency audio transmission, firmware updates, MIDI, and more.
• 11 stainless steel stomp+rotary actuators allow for switching and rotational control (just like the footswitches and knobs you are used to, 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 to your Quad Cortex allows you to create backups, share content, and download items from other users. It also unlocks the Impulse Response Library, where you can transfer IRs to your Quad Cortex and manage the IRs stored on your account.
