Neural DSP Quad Cortex Mini is an ultra-compact version of the flagship Quad Cortex modeler that retains 100% of the processing power and functionality of the original unit, despite being over 50% smaller. It houses the exact same DSP architecture and revolutionary Neural Capture technology, enabling users to create studio-grade digital replicas of real amplifiers and pedals. The centerpiece of the interface remains the large, bright 7-inch multi-touch display, which, paired with four rotary footswitches (doubling as encoders), ensures intuitive tone shaping on stage and in the studio.
Despite its pocket-friendly footprint (22.8 x 11.8 cm) and weight of just 1.5 kg, the Quad Cortex Mini offers an impressive array of I/O, including balanced XLR outputs, a stereo effects loop, and full MIDI support. The device also functions as a low-latency 16-channel USB-C audio interface. Users get immediate access to a massive factory library featuring over 90 amps, 100 effects, and 2000 Neural Captures, along with full compatibility with Cortex Cloud and supported Neural DSP plugins (Neural X support).
