Neural DSP Nano Cortex All In One Digital Compact Effect Processor Pedal for Guitar and Bass

An ultra-powerful rig - In the palm of your hand
Nano Cortex delivers studio-grade sound, a fully customizable signal chain, a complete suite of effects, and the revolutionary Neural Capture technology - all in a compact, ultra-portable pedal. Whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or anywhere in between, your perfect tone is always within reach.

Since its release, Neural Capture has transformed how players approach tone, delivering unmatched accuracy in capturing and replicating amps, cabs, and drive pedals. Artists and engineers alike have praised how real and responsive it feels to play. Now, that same groundbreaking technology is packed into a travel-ready unit built for real-world use - wherever inspiration strikes. Welcome to the future of portable, professional-grade tone.

Neural Capture
Create Neural Captures on-device in minutes, at the same resolution as our flagship Quad Cortex, with no extra tools or apps needed. Nano Cortex can learn and replicate the sonic characteristics of any physical amplifier, overdrive, and cabinet with unprecedented accuracy.

Just connect your gear, press Capture, and within minutes, you’ll have a digital version that sounds virtually identical to the original. No computer, no internet, no app required. It’s fast, intuitive, and completely self-contained. If you don’t want to Capture your own gear, you get free access to thousands of Neural Captures created by others in the Cortex Cloud, expanding your tonal possibilities infinitely.
