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.
