The Quad Cortex by Neural DSP is a powerful floorboard amp modeler designed to provide limitless sound design possibilities. It features a total of 6 cores, including 4x SHARC+ and 2x ARM Cortex-A5 running at 500MHz, offering a processing capacity that allows for running four amplifier models, stereo reverbs, and a variety of other effects simultaneously without performance issues.
Key Features:
- Neural Capture: Equipped with unique biomimetic AI technology, the Quad
Cortex can learn and replicate the sonic characteristics of any physical
amplifier, overdrive, and cabinet with unprecedented accuracy.
- 7” Multi-Touch Display: The device features a large multi-touch display for
easy and intuitive operation, allowing users to effortlessly create even the
most complex signal paths.
- Extensive Collection of Algorithms: The Quad Cortex offers an ever-
expanding collection of guitar and bass algorithms, including 90+ amps, 100+
effects, and 1000+ IRs.
