With the Neural DSP Quad Cortex, the Finnish effects specialists are launching a floorboard that will revolutionize the digital guitar modelling market from the ground up. With an extremely powerful quad-core SHARC DSP, an enormous and ever-growing selection of different amps, effects and IRs, as well as an easy-to-understand yet professional user interface including multi-touch
The heart of the Neural DSP Quad Cortex is the enormous processing power that the floorboard draws from its 2 GHz quad-core SHARC architecture. This means that the Quad Cortex provides more than enough processing power to load, for example, four amp simulations including cab simulation and several complex stereo effects without having to make any compromises in terms of latency and general performance. If you want to use the Quad Cortex as an audio interface, you can rely on the high-quality audio codecs from Cirrus Logic and transfer audio signals to DAWs with ultra-low latency and in best quality.
For creating, editing and saving your own sound creations, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex offers easy-to-use precision tools. Via the 7" multi-touch
The list of Virtual Devices included in the Neural DSP Quad Cortex out of the box seems endless. With over 50 different amp simulations of the most popular amp behemoths, more than 70 different effect types ranging from analog vintage classics to modern signal processors, and over 1000 available Impulse Responses with a wide variety of cabinet and mic setups, this results in an unimaginable number of possible sound creations. Of course, the selection of amps, effects and IRs is constantly being expanded with additional algorithms, so there are no limits to your creativity.
In order to be optimally networked in really any environment and setup, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex has a multitude of connection options with high-quality Neutrik connectors. In addition to two inputs in combo format for XLR or jack and additional phantom power for microphones, two effects loops and both mono and

For those who already own an extensive rig with expensive boutique amps, precious vintage effects, and high-quality microphones, the Quad Cortex's Neural Capture feature makes it easy to save and share them with other users. For this, Neural DSP uses the unique Biomimetic AI technology, which lets the Quad Cortex 'learn' the individual sound character and all the subtleties of the setup at hand, and then reproduce it accurately and naturally sounding. Thanks to the ever-growing community, more and more rig creations created this way are available for free via the cloud.

Of course, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex offers numerous ways to access the modern benefits of the Cortex Cloud. Via the floorboard's internal WiFi module, additional devices can be synchronized, presets can be saved as cloud backups and shared with other users. Comfortable editing and browsing of the Quad Cortex presets via Neural CNS Mobile and Cortex Desktop Controller with PCs, smartphones or tablets as well as the wireless installation of firmware updates are also possible.
