Description
The Neural DSP Quad Cortex mini puts the Quad Cortex platform in a chassis more than 50% smaller. It keeps the same processing power, audio quality, Neural Capture and 7 inch touchscreen, with four stainless steel rotary footswitches, and it fits on a pedalboard, in a compact rack or on a desk.
It runs the same CorOS software as Quad Cortex, so presets, backups and whole setups move between the two. Use it on stage, as a USB-C audio interface for recording and re-amping guitar or bass, or for silent practice with headphones and the built-in metronome.
