Neural DSP Quad Cortex® The most powerful floorboard amp modeler on the planet

Quad Cortex®

The most powerful floorboard amp modeler on the planet

Vulgar Display of Power

Quad Cortex is the most powerful floorboard amp modeler on the planet. With a total of 6 cores, this ludicrous amount of processing capacity provides limitless sound design possibilities.

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

Neural Capture™

Capture, share and download your favorite rigs’ sounds. Equipped with our 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, our sophisticated neural network algorithm perceives sound akin to human perception, making it the most natural-sounding capture solution on the planet.

We are collaborating with some of the best producers and sound designers to provide an ever-growing collection of free rig captures in addition to our full-circuit models.

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.

An ever-expanding collection of guitar and bass algorithms

Unparalleled Intuitiveness & Flexibility

Drag-and-drop blocks to change the order or routing in seconds.

Switching Modes

Switching modes couldn’t be easier, providing easy access to features and switch customization.

Components

Quad Cortex comes in a gorgeous anodized aluminum unibody, with laser engraved graphics that never fade. Our multi-touch display is armored with a 1.8mm chemically strengthened Corning® protective glass.

Neural Capture ™

Proprietary stainless steel stomp+rotary actuators

4x SHARC+ and 2x ARM cores running at 500MHz each

WiFi module for wireless preset sharing, cloud backups, over-the-air firmware updates, and more!

Anodized aluminum unibody

Use Quad Cortex as a high-fidelity interface, with Cirrus Logic codecs and an ultra-low-latency USB audio transmission.

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®
• Neural Capture Output

Plugin Compatibility

Open a new world of possibilities by loading Neural DSP plugins on your Quad Cortex

Neural DSP Plugins on Quad Cortex

With the release of CorOS 3.0.0, the much awaited Plugin Compatibility (PCOM) feature is now available on the Quad Cortex. PCOM opens up a new realm of possibilities for tone exploration by integrating the devices from our acclaimed plugins with the already impressive library of devices in the Quad Cortex.

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.

Cortex Control™

Manage every feature and setting of your Quad Cortex effortlessly in a sleek and intuitive desktop interface.
