The Neural DSP Quad Cortex mini delivers the full Quad Cortex platform in a significantly reduced footprint, without removing core features or processing power. Designed for guitarists and bassists who want flagship modelling, capture technology, and touch-based control in a compact format, Quad Cortex mini fits naturally into pedalboards, desktop rigs, and modern touring setups.
Quad Cortex mini runs the same CorOS software as the original Quad Cortex, offering the same signal flow, sound engine, and workflow. The 7-inch colour touchscreen provides a clear, grid-based view of the entire rig, allowing fast construction and editing of signal chains, parallel routing, and output assignments without menu diving.
Neural Capture technology is built in, allowing users to load or create detailed digital models of real amplifiers, cabinets, drive pedals, and compressors. Quad Cortex mini ships with over 2,000 factory Neural Captures and connects to Cortex Cloud for access to an expanding library of community-created sounds. Both Neural Capture V1 and V2 are supported, covering everything from clean gain stages to highly dynamic tube and fuzz circuits.
Despite its reduced size, Quad Cortex mini functions as a full guitar and bass rig, a multichannel USB-C audio interface, and a standalone processor for live performance, studio recording, and practice. Touchscreen control is paired with four stainless-steel rotary footswitches, supporting Preset, Scene, Stomp, and Hybrid switching modes.
