    Quad Cortex: All Your Amps, All Your Effects, All At Once

    This isn't just another floorboard; it's a ridiculous, reality-bending amount of power that will make your old tube amp question its very existence. The Neural DSP Quad Cortex is a vulgar display of power, a complete sonic ecosystem that puts an entire studio's worth of amps, cabs, and effects under your feet—and it has the brains to capture the soul of any piece of gear you own. This is the end of compromise.

    Neural Quad Cortex Neural Capture: Your Amp’s Digital Twin

    Neural Capture: Your Amp's Digital Twin

    Let's talk about the magic trick. Neural Capture is a freakishly smart, biomimetic AI that doesn't just "profile" your gear—it learns it. Like a human ear, it perceives the sound, feel, and dynamic response of any physical amplifier, overdrive pedal, or cabinet, and replicates it with terrifying accuracy. Want to take your priceless vintage combo on the road without it leaving your house? Capture it. Love the sound of your buddy's modded overdrive? Capture it. You can then share your captures, download captures from a worldwide community, and access a growing collection from top producers, all for free. It’s the most natural-sounding capture solution on the planet, full stop.

    An Interface So Simple, It's Almost Unfair

    Forget menu diving. The Quad Cortex is built around a massive 7-inch multi-touch display that works just like your smartphone. Want to build a signal chain? Just drag and drop amps, pedals, and effects wherever you want them. Need to tweak the EQ? Pinch and zoom on the powerful parametric EQ like you're looking at a photo. Everything is visual, intuitive, and lightning-fast. You can switch between Stomp, Scene, and Preset modes to control your rig exactly how you want, while the brilliant Gig View makes your entire screen a giant, at-a-glance layout of your footswitch assignments. It's so easy to use, it feels like cheating.

    Neural Quad Cortex An Interface So Simple
    Neural Quad Cortex The Brains and the Brawn

    The Brains and the Brawn

    All this power is packed into an impossibly compact and gorgeous anodized aluminum unibody that’s built for the road. The footswitches aren't just switches; they're stainless steel stomp+rotary actuators, meaning you can stomp on them or turn them to tweak parameters, and they’re basically indestructible. Under the hood, a 2GHz Quad-Core SHARC processor runs the show, letting you stack four amp models, stereo reverbs, and a whole clown car of other effects without even breaking a sweat. With pro-level I/O, including dual FX loops, mic preamps, and a class-leading USB audio interface, the Quad Cortex is the unbreakable, unblinking hub of your entire rig.

    Quad Cortex Features:

    • Mind-bending 2GHz Quad-Core SHARC architecture for limitless sound design possibilities.
    • Neural Capture™ technology uses biomimetic AI to learn and replicate any physical amp, cab, or drive pedal.
    • An ever-growing library of hyper-realistic device models plus over 1000 IRs with movable virtual mics.
    • Massive 7” multi-touch display with intuitive drag-and-drop signal path creation.
    • Comprehensive I/O including dual combo inputs, dual FX loops, balanced XLR and TRS outs, and MIDI.
    • Functions as an ultra-low-latency USB audio interface for pristine recording.
    • Wi-Fi connectivity for cloud backups, preset sharing, and wireless firmware updates.
    • Extremely compact and rugged anodized aluminum unibody with 11 stainless steel stomp+rotary actuators.
