Neural DSP Quad Cortex Quad-Core Digital Effects Modeler

The Neural DSP Quad Cortex is the most powerful and versatile floorboard amp modeler available today. Powered by a 2 GHz Quad-Core SHARC DSP engine, it easily runs four independent amp chains, immersive stereo reverbs, and an array of effects without breaking a sweat. Packed with over 50 amp models, 70 effects, and 1,000+ IRs, you’ve got limitless tonal options at your fingertips. The 7″ multi-touch display and dual-mode rotary footswitches make signal path editing and performance control effortless, while the industry-leading Neural Capture™ profiling uses AI to recreate your favorite analog gear with sublime accuracy. Whether gigging or tracking, the Quad Cortex’s expansive I/O - including high-quality mic preamps, effects loops, balanced outputs, USB audio/MIDI, and Wi-Fi integration - offers impressive plug-and-play utility. Built rugged yet compact, in stamped aluminum with a reinforced glass touchscreen, this floorboard is engineered to travel and perform, establishing itself as a studio-grade tone machine in a road-ready package.
