Neural DSP QUad Cortex VS. Nano Cortex

The legendary Quad Cortex has changed the way guitar players practice, record and play, and still is continuing to do so! WIth the arrival of the Nano Cortex to push the boundaries yet again, you might be wondering what the difference between them are? Let's find out.

 

The legendary Quad Cortex changed the way guitar players practice and perform, and now the smaller Nano is here to once again revolutionize what is possible for the modern guitar player.

The QUAD CORTEX

The Most Powerful Floor Modeller on the planet.

Limitless Sound Design Possibilities - The most natural sounding capture solution.

WAnt to run FOur different amplifier models and loads of effects at the same time? No problem.

Capture, SHare and download your favourite rigs with neural capture.

The Quad Cortex is an ultra-powerful, action-packed floor guitar amp and effects modeller from modern tone masters Neural DSP. The Quad Cortex is notably hailed as one of the most intuitive multi-effects hardware out there, and with continuous updates, you can always be sure that you have the latest technology to deliver inspiring tone.

 

This superb creation captures high-end guitar tones in a portable, seamlessly-intuitive piece of kit.
