Unrivaled Processing Power

Powered by six cores, the Quad Cortex offers truly limitless sound design possibilities—run four amp models, stereo reverbs, and expansive effect chains without breaking a sweat.

Neural Capture™ — Digitize Your Sound

With Neural Capture™, the Quad Cortex uses advanced biomimetic AI tech to listen to your amp, pedal, or cabinet and replicate it with human-like perception. Capture, share, and download your favorite rigs with unmatched realism.

Intuitive Multi-Touch Interface

A bright, 7″ multi-touch display makes building and tweaking signal chains as effortless as using a smartphone—drag, drop, and swipe your way to brilliant tones.

Massive Algorithm & IR Library

Preloaded with 90+ amp models, 100+ effects, and 1,000+ impulse responses, the Quad Cortex gives you a virtually endless palette for tone sculpting.

Compact & Durable Design

Despite its raw power, the Quad Cortex remains portable—measuring just 11.4" × 7.7" × 2.7" (29 × 19.5 × 6.9 cm) and weighing 4.2 lbs (1.95 kg).

Flexible I/O with Professional Standards

• Dual combo inputs (TS/TRS/XLR) with adjustable impedance, level control, mic preamps, and phantom power
• Two effects loops for integrating pedals
• Balanced mono TRS outputs (×2) and XLR outputs (×2) for clean, stage- and studio-ready routing
• Headphone output, MIDI In/Out/Thru, dual expression pedal inputs, and USB for low-latency audio, MIDI, and firmware updates
• Durable design: 11 stainless-steel stomp/rotary switches and Neutrik® connectors

Cortex Cloud & Desktop Control

• Use the Cortex Cloud and mobile app (iOS & Android) to discover, download, and share presets, Neural Captures, and manage your IR library

• Cortex Control™ desktop software enables deep, intuitive control over every Quad Cortex parameter

Ruggedness Tested—Made for the Road

The Quad Cortex has passed intense temperature, humidity, and vibration testing—including performance up to 70°C (158°F), high humidity, and 20 G resonance vibration—with flying colors.
