Our take

Who this one is for

The Quad Cortex is Neural DSP's full-size floor unit: a 7" touchscreen, eleven stainless steel footswitches that also turn as encoders, and a signal chain you lay out on a grid, with parallel paths and separate outputs where you want them. Over 200 amp, cab and effect models, more than 2,000 factory Neural Captures and over 1,000 cab IRs come loaded.

The headline is Neural Capture. Run your own amp, drive pedal or compressor through it and in a few minutes the Quad Cortex has a playable copy, or pull Captures other players have shared from Cortex Cloud over Wi-Fi.

Pick the full-size unit for the I/O and the switching. Two combo XLR and 1/4" inputs, two full effects loops, DIN MIDI, two expression inputs and eight switches for scenes or stomps make it the one for a full stage rig, or a four-cable setup with your own amp. If you mostly play direct and want it smaller, the Quad Cortex Mini runs the same CorOS, presets and Captures in about half the footprint.

Pre-orders

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when it reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before it arrives.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before it leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
