Cutting-edge amp modeller

With 2GHz of DSP performance from its quad-core SHARC processor and its integrated USB audio interface, full MIDI compatibility, 7" touchscreen display, and full array of inputs and outputs, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex is quite simply one of the most powerful and best-sounding effects units out there for guitarists and bassists. Users can choose from over 50 amp models and 70 top-quality effects, as well as 1,000 impulse response (IR) cabinet simulations. The Neural Capture technology, through which the sound characteristics of any amplifier and any cabinet can be reproduced with astonishing accuracy, represents a brand-new approach in the world of sound modelling. The Neural DSP Quad Cortex reproduces each setup exactly as the human ear perceives it and offers genuinely natural-sounding amp simulations. The electric blue finish seen here is a limited edition version, exclusively available from Thomann.

7" Multi-touch display of the Neural DSP Quad Cortex Blue LTD

Clear and simple touchscreen

The central 7" colour touchscreen display allows users to create unique patches in no time via drag-and-drop. In addition, the 11 sturdy metal switches also act as rotary controls, allowing guitarists to make any corrections to the sound in a flash. The integrated Superior Modelling Technology gives users access to a constantly growing number of algorithms with phenomenal sound quality, rendering additional equipment redundant. Still, the unit is also equipped with two effects loops that let guitarists and bassists integrate their favourite pedals into the setup. What's more, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex is equipped with a pair of balanced stereo outputs, two expression pedal inputs, a MIDI interface, and two combined XLR/6.3mm (1/4”) jack inputs and thus provides immense flexibility. Finally, the 48V phantom power option makes the stereo inputs perfect for vocals and acoustic instruments.

Three modes, setlists, and gig view

Just like the standard black version, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex Blue LTD has three different modes that allow it to be adapted to any situation. In "Stomp Mode", the unit behaves like an analogue pedal board. "Scene Mode", on the other hand, controls any desired number of effect blocks within a rig, while "Preset Mode" allows direct access to up to eight virtual rigs. By creating so-called "setlists", the patches can be clearly organised and managed – each setlist can comprise up to 32 banks of eight presets each. This allows presets to be sorted by category, project, or album and recalled in seconds. Another practical feature is the Gig View function, which provides a full-screen view of the footswitches' current function.

About Neural DSP

Founded in Finland in 2017, Neural DSP regards itself as a developer and provider of computer-based solutions for the music industry. Inspired by innovative technologies such as advanced algorithms and machine learning, Neural DSP Technologies initially developed software plug-ins. New products have been released at regular intervals, most of which faithfully reproduce legendary amps or, in collaboration with popular guitarists such as Plini and Tosin Abasi, exactly reproduce their characteristic sounds. The Quad Cortex, the first hardware product from the still-young company, was released in 2021 and, true to the company's credo, is intended to bring artists a new level of creative inspiration through technological innovations.

A hard-working workstation

With its huge number of high-quality amp simulations, over 1,000 cabinet simulations, numerous effects, and intuitive touchscreen navigation, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex Blue LTD is undoubtedly aimed at professionals who will put it through its paces in the rehearsal room, in the studio, or on stage. Besides delivering authentic sounds, this board also has impressive connectivity; there's almost no musical input it won't handle, and it can be hooked up to almost any setup. Furthermore, the unique Neural Capture Technology means that the sound and behaviour of any amplifier or rig can be replicated, permanently saved, and recalled at will, so that the capabilities of the Neural DSP Quad Cortex will only keep on growing.

For the stage and the studio

Whether in the studio, in the rehearsal room, or on stage, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex will always be up to the challenge, whatever the context – it's bound to impress both its users and their audiences, thanks to its sophisticated operating concept, unparalleled routing flexibility, and clever features such as the footswitches with integrated rotary control function. Although designed primarily for guitarists and bassists, the Quad Cortex can also be used for processing vocals, keyboards, and many other acoustic instruments thanks to its phantom-powered microphone inputs.
