Description
The Neural DSP Nano Cortex is a compact pedal that holds a complete guitar or bass rig: Neural Captures of amps, cabs and drive pedals, an IR loader and more than 50 effects and utilities. It is about as wide as two standard pedals and weighs 620 g.
You can create your own Neural Captures on the pedal in a few minutes, with no computer, app or internet connection, at the same resolution as Quad Cortex. Use it as your amp and cab on stage, as a USB audio interface for recording, or for quiet practice on headphones. It also runs from a USB battery pack.
