Quad Cortex Floor Modeler
- DAVE HUNTER
NEURAL DSP
HAVING FORGED A stellar reputation in the world of plug-in software, Finnish developer Neural DSP announced its move into amp-modeling hardware more than a year ago, eliciting excitement from a world already enthralled by the works of Fractal, Line 6, Kemper, Atomic and other amp emulators. Units of the long-awaited Quad Cortex Floor Modeler finally started shipping a few months ago and are just coming to market at the time of writing.

On paper, this excitement was totally warranted, given the Quad Cortex’s promise as “the most powerful floor modeler on the planet.” That boast encompasses 2GHz of six-core SHARC- and ARM-based processing; more than 50 amps, 70-plus effects and over 1,000 IRs; 256 factory presets and up to 2,560 user preset slots; amp, cab and pedal-capture capabilities; comprehensive touch-screen control and editing; and USB audio-interface capabilities, all in a rugged box measuring 11.5 x 7.5 x 2 inches and weighing 4.2 pounds. Within minutes of my using it, the Quad Cortex demonstrated it is a major new competitor in this market that is defining the future of guitar tone.
