Neural DSP Quad Cortex Quad-Core Digital Effects Modeler/Profiling Floorboard

The Neural DSP Quad Cortex is the most powerful floor modeler on the planet, fusing high-precision studio tones with real-world gigging flexibility. Powered by a 2GHz Quad-Core SHARC DSP and Neural's proven sound-modeling technology, it delivers an unmatched combination of amp captures, effects, and I/O in a slim, tour-grade floorboard.

Neural Capture Technology

Create incredibly accurate digital replicas of any amp, cab, or drive pedal using machine learning — on-device, no computer required. Neural Capture preserves sag, saturation, breakup, and compression exactly as your ear hears it. Captures can be saved as full rigs or individual blocks and combined freely in the signal chain.
