Neural DSP Quad Cortex mini — Full Quad Cortex Power in a Smaller Format
The legendary Quad Cortex experience is now available in a compact, pedalboard-friendly unit. Quad Cortex mini delivers the same processing power, audio quality, Neural Capture technology, and 7-inch touchscreen in a smaller footprint designed for modern rigs, desktop setups, and travel-ready live boards.
What makes Quad Cortex mini different?
Quad Cortex mini is built for musicians who want flagship tones without building a huge floor rig. It fits naturally into compact pedalboards and studio desks while keeping the Quad Cortex ecosystem and workflow.
Core highlights
- Neural Capture lets you create and play ultra-accurate digital replicas of amps, cabs, and pedals.
- The Grid provides an intuitive visual signal chain with flexible routing and parallel paths.
- Touchscreen workflow makes editing fast and practical for stage and studio use.
- Platform continuity through CorOS updates and Cortex Cloud presets/captures.
Tip: For fastest setup on stage, prepare a few “scene-style” Footswitch Pages (clean, crunch, lead, ambient) for quick access.
Quad Cortex mini vs Quad Cortex
Both units share the same platform, sound quality, Neural Capture support, and Cortex Cloud ecosystem. The key difference is the amount of on-floor control and connectivity you want for your rig.
| Feature | Quad Cortex mini | Quad Cortex |
|---|---|---|
| Touchscreen | 7" multi-touch display | 7" multi-touch display |
| Footswitch control | 4 rotary footswitches + Footswitch Pages for more assignments | 11 rotary footswitches |
| Best for | Compact pedalboards, travel rigs, studio desks | Main stage rigs, complex live workflows |
| USB audio | USB-C interface | USB interface |
| Headphone output | 1/8" TRS | 1/4" TRS |
| MIDI | 1/8" TRS Type-A + MIDI over USB | DIN MIDI + MIDI over USB |
